:00:58. > :01:04.was a gloomy day to day. There is more to come.
:01:04. > :01:07.On the eve of Armistice Day, two stark reminders of this sacrifices
:01:07. > :01:11.made by our troops serving in Afghanistan. The body of a
:01:11. > :01:15.Yorkshire soldier killed in the conflict has been flown back to
:01:15. > :01:20.Britain today. Another servicemen who died in a bomb blast in Hellman

:01:30. > :01:31.
:01:31. > :01:39.already been told. What do we know about this casualty? Not too much.
:01:39. > :01:42.It has not been confirmed his name. We know he was a member of the
:01:42. > :01:52.force battalion regiment and was serving -- serving in the helm and
:01:52. > :01:55.
:01:55. > :02:05.region. He died yesterday in a bomb blast. An improvised explosive
:02:05. > :02:05.
:02:06. > :02:10.device has exploded and killed him. What do we know about the regiment?
:02:10. > :02:16.The 4th Battalion, there are your to regiment is a terrier at --
:02:16. > :02:20.territorial regiment. We went down to Wales on their first training
:02:20. > :02:26.weekend and saw them prepare to join the regular soldiers as part
:02:26. > :02:36.of the first Battalion. They were trained up to the same level as the
:02:36. > :02:41.regular soldiers who went out to serve in Afghanistan. It is very
:02:41. > :02:51.sad and comes on the back of news of another Yorkshire soldier dying
:02:51. > :02:52.
:02:52. > :02:59.in the province. A week ago, another soldier from Settle was
:02:59. > :03:06.shot in a firefight in hell manned. His body was brought back today
:03:06. > :03:16.through RAF Brize Norton. Arrangements are being made for his
:03:16. > :03:19.
:03:20. > :03:27.funeral. People will be gathering tomorrow at 11:00pm. We would
:03:27. > :03:31.always want to say that our thoughts are with the families.
:03:31. > :03:36.Teachers at a West George a school have gone on strike in protest
:03:36. > :03:39.about proposals to turn it into academy. Their head teacher at
:03:39. > :03:46.Prince Henry's Grammar in Otley wants to opt out of local-authority
:03:46. > :03:51.control. The teachers' unions are against the move.
:03:51. > :04:01.The Government is keen for schools to apply for academy status and it
:04:01. > :04:01.
:04:01. > :04:05.is an option that many endure to have taken. One of those it is
:04:05. > :04:15.Prince Henry's Grammar in Otley. The move has split the board of
:04:15. > :04:20.
:04:20. > :04:24.governors and nine have resigned. In less than a month, Prince
:04:24. > :04:29.Henry's Grammar in Otley is due to be converted into an academy,
:04:30. > :04:34.meaning its funding will come from central government, not the council.
:04:34. > :04:41.Teachers are concerned about job security. It has been a quiet start
:04:41. > :04:50.to the school day and most students have had to stay at home. Two-
:04:50. > :04:56.thirds of the teachers are on the picket line. This woman teachers
:04:56. > :05:01.that the school and her children are or pupils here. The worry is
:05:01. > :05:06.that it gives their head teacher power but they don't listen to what
:05:06. > :05:12.parents and the community wants. is privatisation of public services
:05:12. > :05:22.and it is wrong. When it comes from government and we have to buy in
:05:22. > :05:23.
:05:23. > :05:28.the services, so really, it is privatisation. Unions say there is
:05:28. > :05:32.overwhelming opposition to the status but a few are in favour.
:05:32. > :05:37.think it is great because I have never been to a school that has
:05:37. > :05:43.been an academy. What do you think about the teachers on strike?
:05:43. > :05:50.not good because it means children cannot have a better education.
:05:50. > :05:53.believe becoming an academy will help us to improve job security of
:05:53. > :05:58.teachers at Prince Henry's Grammar in Otley and help us to recruit and
:05:58. > :06:02.retain the best quality teachers foreign students. The Government
:06:02. > :06:10.wants all schools to have the chance to become an academy but
:06:10. > :06:15.with five more strike days planned, such destruction may deter others.
:06:15. > :06:20.Parents will find the next three week's tough with children being of
:06:20. > :06:26.school two days next week and three days the week after. That will lead
:06:26. > :06:31.to 1st December, the day it will change to an academy.

:07:35. > :07:40.crack down on homophobic violence. One in five gay or lesbian people
:07:40. > :07:47.have experienced a homophobic attack in the last three years. I
:07:47. > :07:53.am aware of the peer that was on after one of these attacks. I
:07:53. > :07:58.welcome what the West Yorkshire police have done to tackle this
:07:58. > :08:03.awful hate crime. At campaign has been lodged to highlight the abuse
:08:03. > :08:07.of babies in a region. NSPCC says one in four babies are at risk of
:08:07. > :08:17.abuse because they are poor and into homes with mental health

:08:23. > :08:31.One mother from Sheffield has said that her son witnessed the abuse

:08:48. > :08:53.not at nursery so what he learned was that this what his dad dead.
:08:53. > :08:59.Today has seen the final shove a chapter of Sir Jimmy Savile's fare
:08:59. > :09:09.well. After the service in Leeds yesterday, the focus was on
:09:09. > :09:11.
:09:11. > :09:18.Scarborough. I bet it was an emotional day.
:09:18. > :09:28.emotional. It was more sombre than yesterday on the streets. When they
:09:28. > :09:29.
:09:29. > :09:36.take the detour, the spontaneous applause and many people exchanging
:09:36. > :09:43.stories about him. They interesting thing about this place is this is
:09:43. > :09:49.what his view was. This is where he led in his later years. That is why
:09:49. > :09:59.many people are proud that his final resting place is above the
:09:59. > :10:01.
:10:01. > :10:10.town. We will be talking to people who knew him well. A ripple of
:10:11. > :10:20.applause as Scarborough a cos mum - -'s adopted son passed by. Many
:10:20. > :10:26.knew him personally and those that did not, felt that the dead.
:10:26. > :10:36.will be missed. There are very few people like him nowadays. We came
:10:36. > :10:36.
:10:36. > :10:46.last night and got a prime position. We wanted to pay our respects.
:10:46. > :10:47.
:10:47. > :10:53.came to marathons and ran the races with everyone. It continued along
:10:53. > :11:00.Marine Drive into the North be. He often ran this route while training
:11:00. > :11:07.and ask to be buried with a view of the sea. A suitable plot was
:11:07. > :11:15.prepared as more friends and family gathered for the by rail. Bless
:11:15. > :11:22.this grave and send you all the Angel to watch over it. We bury the
:11:22. > :11:29.body of her brother. Different to the last, he wanted to lie at an
:11:29. > :11:39.angle of 45 degrees so he could see the sea. Members of the public were
:11:39. > :11:48.allowed up close to see. It is sad because it is a funeral. He meant a
:11:48. > :11:57.great deal to the members of his family. It is joyful because he
:11:57. > :12:03.brought happiness. People respected him. It was so nice that people
:12:03. > :12:09.came and said we will pay our respects. That is the people of
:12:09. > :12:16.Yorkshire. There is a part of him that would undoubtedly have enjoyed
:12:16. > :12:23.the last three days. It is not what he asked for. He asked for this,
:12:23. > :12:33.somewhere to rest with a view that he let -- loved. He worked out lice
:12:33. > :12:33.
:12:33. > :12:43.pleasures, do a good turn and top it all off with a cigar.
:12:43. > :12:44.
:12:44. > :12:54.I said we would have some find all sorts. This woman's family have had
:12:54. > :12:55.
:12:55. > :13:03.a cafe here. How will you remember him? He was a regular at Tower cafe.
:13:03. > :13:12.I remember him coming in with his strange hats. He did not want to be
:13:12. > :13:16.recognised but he knew everyone would look at him. It was wonderful.
:13:16. > :13:23.People could not believe that they were seeing and. It has been an
:13:23. > :13:30.extravaganza are. What are your thoughts as that fence. I am happy
:13:30. > :13:40.it is over but the memories of yesterday will be in my mind
:13:40. > :13:50.forever. For a gentleman who was so well loved and did so much. He
:13:50. > :13:54.
:13:54. > :13:58.He was very supportive of businesses in the town, he was a
:13:58. > :14:03.later resident of Scarborough. was well loved by everybody. He
:14:03. > :14:09.would take part in so many monumental things. Shrove Tuesday,
:14:09. > :14:16.he was always here in his tracksuit. The smile was electric, it looked
:14:16. > :14:20.at the town. Just to walk past him, titillated people. He was good with
:14:20. > :14:27.everyone, everybody regarded him as a friend, he was so popular. That
:14:27. > :14:31.was shown by today and yesterday. I was in Leeds yesterday, and I was
:14:31. > :14:37.here today. The glory of the date was attributable to such a
:14:37. > :14:45.wonderful man. I heard that he wanted to bring the cruise ships
:14:45. > :14:50.here, and he got the Queen Mary into the bay. Yes, in 2008, or 2007,
:14:50. > :14:55.Queen Elizabeth came, and he was hoisted on board, it was amazing.
:14:55. > :15:05.But yes, he got it to come in, and he got the Queen Mary. It was
:15:05. > :15:07.
:15:08. > :15:12.wonderful for everybody. One final image. As I was at the head of the
:15:12. > :15:16.cortege, coming past Castle Howard, a terrible day on your side of the
:15:16. > :15:24.county, but the sun came out over Scarborough. It made me think that
:15:24. > :15:29.the weather forecast was right, but it was a good end for Jimmy Savile.
:15:29. > :15:33.A little sunshine for a man who brought so much sunshine. Tomorrow,
:15:33. > :15:43.a special BBC programme, looking back at the Life and Times of Jimmy
:15:43. > :15:48.
:15:48. > :15:53.Lots of chance to reminisce tomorrow on that particular
:15:53. > :15:57.programme. Before 7pm, can you afford to go
:15:57. > :16:03.without your winter fuel allowance? A charity asks wealthier pensioners
:16:03. > :16:07.to give their government grants to those who really need it.
:16:07. > :16:17.I could do with a few tips from these guys, the apprentices who

:16:27. > :16:30.site of its, it is assumed that local residents are against the
:16:30. > :16:34.travellers, but the opposite has happened here. Although Selby
:16:34. > :16:39.District Council refused planning permission for land at Poplar Farm
:16:39. > :16:46.in Whitley to be turned into houses, it is now said that the derelict
:16:46. > :16:50.farmhouse is its first choice for a new travel aside. But the villagers
:16:50. > :16:54.if -- Night of the villagers nor the travellers wanted.
:16:54. > :16:58.It is often the local pub that mirrors the mood of what is going
:16:58. > :17:02.on. As this man prepares to open, he is in no doubt what his regulars
:17:02. > :17:07.will be talking about. The proposed a travellers' site in the centre of
:17:07. > :17:14.the village. It is not a popular decision. All of the customers are
:17:14. > :17:20.concerned about the proposal, but nobody understands why that site is
:17:20. > :17:25.the proposal. This is the land that the district council has earmarked.
:17:25. > :17:28.It is their preferred option. Local people say they were not consulted
:17:28. > :17:33.until after the decision was made. They say it is totally
:17:33. > :17:37.inappropriate to have a travellers' site in a village by a main road.
:17:37. > :17:43.We have spoken to members of the travelling community, they do not
:17:43. > :17:47.want to be here. Their voice should be heard, and we want to work with
:17:47. > :17:52.them to make sure that they find a site that suits them. This family
:17:52. > :17:57.believe they already have such a place. But although they own this
:17:57. > :18:00.land, they have not got planning permission for their caravans. They
:18:00. > :18:07.could be moved to Whitley, along with travellers from another
:18:07. > :18:10.illegal site. We get on with all of the villagers, they come down for
:18:11. > :18:16.advice, they will ask me about the ponies, we are not costing the
:18:16. > :18:20.council any money, we pay community tax, grant rates, water. They are
:18:20. > :18:24.planning on moving the sides to every word they are not wanted and
:18:24. > :18:29.they do not own it. But they are officially on green belt. The site
:18:29. > :18:39.on Whitley is partially green belt. But the district council is keen to
:18:39. > :18:49.
:18:49. > :18:54.stress that nothing has been passed As we were filming, the council's
:18:54. > :18:57.highways department was removing the roadside signs, presumably for
:18:57. > :19:07.safety reasons. Another decision that probably will not have gone
:19:07. > :19:09.
:19:09. > :19:13.Tens of thousands of pensioners here will get an extra payment into
:19:13. > :19:18.their banks over the next few weeks. It is for the winter fuel allowance,
:19:18. > :19:21.an annual tax-free sum given by the government to help the over 60s
:19:21. > :19:27.with heating costs. There are claims that not everybody that gets
:19:27. > :19:31.them needs it. The scheme has been launched which asks those people to
:19:31. > :19:36.donate all of their payment to help elderly people who cannot afford to
:19:36. > :19:41.pay their bills. It is the old notion of the bridge
:19:41. > :19:45.giving to the poor. Jonathan will receive his 200 pound fuel
:19:45. > :19:48.allowance this month like most people over 60. But he does not
:19:48. > :19:56.feel he needs it and he is willing to give it to somebody who does.
:19:56. > :20:00.The nature of the scheme, if I can give a small amount to people...
:20:00. > :20:04.The more that can be gathered for the ones that need it, the better.
:20:04. > :20:09.It is people like Lorraine who can benefit. She cannot afford to put
:20:09. > :20:16.the heating on for more than a few hours a day, and she is trying to
:20:16. > :20:22.keep one constantly. This year, her payment has been reduced by �50.
:20:22. > :20:30.is one of the worst things about getting old. Not having the money
:20:30. > :20:34.to pay extra on your fuel bills and to keep warm. This appeal once more
:20:35. > :20:40.people to donate their allowance if they do not need at, to reduce the
:20:40. > :20:46.number of winter deaths. 7500 people here over the age of 65 died
:20:46. > :20:51.last winter from cold related illnesses. 290,000 older people in
:20:51. > :20:55.our region are struggling to pay their fuel bills. A pension group
:20:55. > :21:00.in Sheffield think asking for fuel payments is not the way to tackle
:21:00. > :21:05.the problem. I do not agree with it. If people can afford to give it,
:21:05. > :21:09.they should be able to give it to anybody they like. The majority of
:21:09. > :21:13.pensioners appreciate the fuel allowance. In no way are we
:21:13. > :21:19.suggesting that people should be donating to their payment if they
:21:19. > :21:24.needed her. We are reacting to a response from local people who have
:21:24. > :21:28.come to us and said, we do not feel as though we need it. The surviving
:21:28. > :21:32.winter appeal will work with local organisations to decide who the
:21:32. > :21:39.extra money should go to. They hope the scheme will continue beyond
:21:39. > :21:45.this year to tackle the price of keeping warm.
:21:45. > :21:49.You can let us know what you think. It has not been an easy ride for
:21:49. > :21:55.Chesterfield since their promotion to League One, but the JP Trophy
:21:55. > :21:59.win over Tranmere could be a sign that the season is far from over.
:21:59. > :22:04.There was so much in Chesterfield's superb victory at home to Tranmere
:22:04. > :22:09.last night to put a smile on the face of everyone. Nobody was
:22:09. > :22:14.laughing when Tranmere scored first. Least of all the goalkeeper. His
:22:14. > :22:18.delight was to get worse before it gets -- like his delight was to get
:22:18. > :22:24.worse before it got better. Chesterfield must have thought the
:22:24. > :22:30.odds were stacked against them. They showed the fighting spirit the
:22:30. > :22:35.fans have come to expect. By half- time, they had equalised, and they
:22:36. > :22:40.went 2-1 up in the second half. What they did not realise was that
:22:40. > :22:48.the fund had only just started. They slackened off at the back
:22:48. > :22:52.again. Trendier regained the lead, 3-2, with 18 minutes left to play -
:22:52. > :22:59.- Tranmere. What followed might be a pointer to what Chesterfield
:22:59. > :23:04.might achieve in the rest of the league season. They beat one of the
:23:04. > :23:13.better teams from their own division. An equaliser came from a
:23:13. > :23:18.header. 3-3, with 10 minutes left. There was no need for penalties.
:23:18. > :23:25.The winner in injury time, 4-3 is how it finished, and with Bradford
:23:25. > :23:32.already free from Tuesday's matches, Chesterfield will hope their turn
:23:32. > :23:38.around proves a turning point in their season.
:23:38. > :23:43.I love these men. I might even borrow them. Lee Bellamy and Kevin
:23:43. > :23:52.Somerset need patience, maths and measurement scales, but most of all,
:23:53. > :24:01.an eye for detail and design. When you are competing in a wallpapering
:24:01. > :24:06.competition, this is how you tackle This is a story I could get stuck
:24:06. > :24:14.into. I cannot believe they have competitions for wallpaper hanging.
:24:14. > :24:22.But here we have the boys. They finished first and second. How hard
:24:22. > :24:32.can it be? They start with some boring lining
:24:32. > :24:34.
:24:34. > :24:44.But what is the point when it is just going to be hidden? I have not

:25:04. > :25:11.please? Taker time. Do not rush. They are still on their first one,
:25:11. > :25:19.I am on my second one! Theirs might be better, but I am quicker. They
:25:19. > :25:25.think anybody can do it, but they struggle. Only a select few
:25:25. > :25:28.decorators are good at wallpapering. You need people who are
:25:28. > :25:36.conscientious, making sure it is the right way up, it is matched
:25:36. > :25:39.properly. Maybe I should have borrowed their ladder. They won
