:00:10. > :00:16.Good evening, welcome to Look North. Is it time for a new law to stop a
:00:16. > :00:20.metal theft? Trains, graveyards, even statues, they have all been
:00:20. > :00:25.targeted. We will investigate whether the authorities should
:00:25. > :00:29.crack down harder on people buying stolen metal. There is their
:00:29. > :00:38.problem now we believe to be tackled with tougher legislation.
:00:38. > :00:42.Also tonight, what caused the Majestic Hotel blaze? A fire swept
:00:42. > :00:49.through the best-known hotel harried good. The night-time
:00:49. > :00:54.filming that is uncovering the Secret Life of lions. The weather
:00:54. > :01:04.is exactly the same. A dull over the next couple of days. The five-
:01:04. > :01:07.
:01:07. > :01:14.day forecast coming up. Our top story tonight is the calls
:01:15. > :01:20.for tough new laws to curb the metal theft. Everything from a
:01:20. > :01:28.well-travelled to ancient monuments, ancient stones, Yorkshire has
:01:28. > :01:36.emerged as the metal theft hotspot. South Yorkshire is the worst place
:01:36. > :01:43.for phone cables to be stolen. -- phone cables been stolen. As MPs
:01:43. > :01:48.prepare to debate it, businesses are working together to prevent it.
:01:48. > :01:54.The rail network, street lighting, even be a statue, nothing has been
:01:54. > :02:01.spared. A plague of modern-day society. Yorkshire is one of the
:02:01. > :02:05.worst affected regions. Now the authorities are fighting back, BT,
:02:05. > :02:13.electricity companies, and enforcement officers. Have teamed
:02:13. > :02:18.up with the police. Because of its industrial past, Rotherham has an
:02:18. > :02:23.unusually high density of scrapyards. We had metal coming
:02:23. > :02:25.from Newcastle, we have arrested people coming from East Yorkshire,
:02:25. > :02:29.Nottinghamshire, we are trying to get them to regulate themselves. We
:02:29. > :02:35.are trying to drive down the demand for metal coming into South
:02:35. > :02:40.Yorkshire. The price of metal has rocketed in racing years. Scrap has
:02:40. > :02:49.never been so valuable. Reputable dealers take a record of customers.
:02:49. > :02:52.They know what to look out for. are working closely, they resisted
:02:52. > :03:00.coming out, they are going to e- mail us on a regular basis, telling
:03:00. > :03:04.us what has been stolen, and to identify stolen material. Despite
:03:04. > :03:14.these stringent checks, copper cable theft is on the rise in the
:03:14. > :03:20.region. The railways are one of the hardest hit. In 2009-2010, there
:03:20. > :03:27.were 224 incidents. That has risen in the last year. It has caused
:03:27. > :03:37.hours of the day's -- delays, and cost a network while millions of
:03:37. > :03:39.
:03:39. > :03:43.pounds. -- network rail. It is the infrastructure, the track, the
:03:43. > :03:48.overhead wires. It seems to be growing, it is their problem we
:03:48. > :03:53.believe could be tackled with tougher legislation. It is not just
:03:53. > :03:56.Industry in Leeds that is feeling the effect. The A63 has been
:03:56. > :04:05.plunged into darkness because thieves have stolen the cables on
:04:05. > :04:09.the street lamps. Police have appealed for witnesses. It is one
:04:09. > :04:15.of many investigations until the way -- many investigations under
:04:15. > :04:25.way. Earlier I spoke to Ian Hetherington,
:04:25. > :04:25.
:04:25. > :04:30.he represents many scrapyards. The increased cost is seen as the
:04:30. > :04:37.reason of theft. I asked him what are the reasons? There is demand
:04:37. > :04:41.for metal of all types. It is coupled with the factor that copper
:04:41. > :04:51.has become an investment opportunity for many financial
:04:51. > :04:52.
:04:52. > :04:54.institutions. It is a world price, it changes on a daily basis. It is
:04:54. > :04:59.extraordinary that thieves should be so well connected to these world
:05:00. > :05:04.prices. What do we do to stop its? Is it increase the penalties?
:05:04. > :05:09.all too frequently the valley of the metal is very low. What we are
:05:09. > :05:14.seeing is a very, very large societal impact. We believe that
:05:14. > :05:22.all crimes, charges brought against people should be a company with
:05:23. > :05:31.impact statements. -- company to. It is more than just the Valley of
:05:31. > :05:36.metal. -- the value of metal. very difficult to stop all of the
:05:36. > :05:39.fact that source. The easiest way is to go for some of your members,
:05:39. > :05:44.who are inevitably some of the people who are dealing with this
:05:44. > :05:51.material. He is that the way forward in South Yorkshire -- is
:05:51. > :05:57.that of the way for in South Yorkshire? It is clearly a
:05:57. > :06:03.combination of illegal, unregulated dealers, receiving stolen goods
:06:03. > :06:11.knowingly, and processing them. Equally the trials will police are
:06:11. > :06:21.very clear -- the Transport Police are aware that some of the material
:06:21. > :06:28.is being shipped out of the UK, it is not going all near our trade. In
:06:28. > :06:36.the long term, the heart of it is that we have a long tail of
:06:36. > :06:39.unregulated scrap-metal dealers and operating -- dealers operating. We
:06:39. > :06:45.asked the government to tighten up on the enforcement of these illegal,
:06:45. > :06:51.unregulated officers. Thank you very much.
:06:51. > :06:58.Next tonight, you may have thought this is a thing of the past, but
:06:58. > :07:06.trading standards officers say they have smashed a car clocking racket.
:07:06. > :07:14.One car had 200,000 miles wide of the clock. The scam went on for
:07:14. > :07:24.nearly two years, and chipped -- trekked hundreds of people. --
:07:24. > :07:27.
:07:27. > :07:33.trait. It seemed like a good deal. This
:07:33. > :07:41.clock reads 97,000 miles, it should have done two years ago. How do you
:07:41. > :07:46.feel now, you were conned? It has done almost a two years of driving.
:07:47. > :07:56.It says Robson the art of a year were the driving. -- it has robbed
:07:57. > :07:58.
:07:58. > :08:04.me out of a year. This man was jailed by 18 months. -- jailed for.
:08:04. > :08:10.They sold on the cards after reducing the declared mileage. One
:08:10. > :08:15.car had more than 200,000 miles wide of the clock. It was recovered
:08:15. > :08:23.by Trading Standards officers. There were bonus books for services
:08:23. > :08:31.that were never carried out. Ruth Andrews, the head of fraud, says it
:08:31. > :08:39.is very easy to change the clocks. Those people in the know, they can
:08:39. > :08:46.Clarke these cars a lecturer Jean - - clock these cars electronically.
:08:46. > :08:52.This is on a modern car? Absolutely, in the old days you had to do it
:08:52. > :08:59.manually, but now it is done electronically. It is something
:08:59. > :09:08.that this young father found out to his cost. A saw a bargain, and I
:09:08. > :09:17.went for it. I should have inquired about it first. It is hoped that
:09:17. > :09:23.the people duping these people will be made to pay it back.
:09:23. > :09:30.Coming up later, just days before Children In Need, we will find out
:09:30. > :09:34.about the sporting project. An inquest has heard that a dropped
:09:34. > :09:39.cigarette may have caused a blaze at a famous Harrogate hotel which
:09:39. > :09:46.caused the life -- took be like the one of its staff.
:09:46. > :09:51.The blaze at the Majestic Hotel happened last year.
:09:51. > :10:00.It was in the early morning that the fire swept prithee upper
:10:00. > :10:04.storeys of the hope -- the Majestic Hotel. A 41-year-old kitchen porter
:10:04. > :10:12.was unaccounted for. His body was found the next day in his room on
:10:12. > :10:19.the fifth floor. He had died from smoke inhalation. The inquest
:10:19. > :10:24.opened today. Nigel Butterfield had not had an easy life. He had spent
:10:24. > :10:34.much of his childhood in care, and Supple's -- suffered from epilepsy
:10:34. > :10:38.
:10:38. > :10:45.and spinal to be better -- spinal be better. He suffered a fit, and
:10:45. > :10:49.was taken up to his room. That night the fire broke out. His boss
:10:49. > :10:54.told the inquest that he was worried about the man of's fits. A
:10:54. > :10:59.toxicology report revealed he may have taken medication which
:10:59. > :11:07.affected his ability to respond. The detectives found a nose sign of
:11:07. > :11:10.arson in his room. -- no sign of arson. Today jurors were taken to
:11:10. > :11:17.the hotel on a site visit. They will hear evidence for the next
:11:17. > :11:22.five days. Tributes have been paid to a
:11:22. > :11:29.volunteer soldier from Barnsley he was killed by a bomb in Afghanistan.
:11:29. > :11:39.Matthew Thornton, who served with the Yorkshire Regiment, died was on
:11:39. > :11:43.patrol. He will be a patch rated next Thursday -- the repatriated.
:11:43. > :11:51.would like to pay tribute to Matthew Thornton. This was a brave
:11:51. > :11:58.young man, serving his country, I'm sure the whole House will want to
:11:58. > :12:08.send their best wishes. A taxi driver was sentenced for
:12:08. > :12:11.
:12:11. > :12:16.wanting to have under-age children to have sex in the back of his car.
:12:16. > :12:25.Animal-rights activists claimed that dogs it were incinerated in
:12:25. > :12:28.this plant. The owners have not comment on the on the process.
:12:28. > :12:35.Plans for a free school in Leeds for children with autism have been
:12:35. > :12:40.approved. Agree their parents want to open the Lighthouse School. It
:12:40. > :12:48.will provide education for 50 people with autism. We will be
:12:48. > :12:52.speaking to some of the patients -- parents later tonight. Images have
:12:52. > :13:02.been released for renewed power plant in Sheffield. The
:13:02. > :13:11.

:13:13. > :13:23.then we will be visiting projects that have benefited from Your Money.
:13:23. > :13:29.
:13:29. > :13:32.-- Children In Need. Last year, we Bic -- raised to �1.1 million.
:13:32. > :13:35.Our first film is from the Keighley Play Rangers. It's a project that
:13:35. > :13:38.was set up to stop children from joining street gangs. The Rangers
:13:38. > :13:41.go into schools and host after- school and holiday play sessions.
:13:41. > :13:45.Here is nine-year-old Owais Majid. My name is Owais, I am nine years
:13:46. > :13:55.old and my birthday is on 20th November night. I have been born --
:13:55. > :14:00.been blind since I was born, I was born blind. Everything is black.
:14:01. > :14:09.Nice big throw. Owais actually came into the
:14:09. > :14:19.project a few years ago. You would find that Owais, he was desperate
:14:19. > :14:22.
:14:22. > :14:28.to take part in activities. Perfect.
:14:28. > :14:33.I think it has given him a believe, really. It is so nice to see how
:14:33. > :14:38.many friends he has made it -- a belief. It has made a lot of
:14:38. > :14:47.difference, because I was really bored most of the time before. Now
:14:47. > :14:51.it is much better. I have started to believe in myself, and I have
:14:51. > :14:57.believed that I can do things. Like in the park, I used to be really
:14:57. > :15:00.scared. I wouldn't even go on the swing. We need this project,
:15:00. > :15:04.because you find that people grow up too quickly and this project
:15:04. > :15:10.really brings it down to earth and says, you are wreckage, stay a kid
:15:10. > :15:14.and enjoy yourself. -- You are a kid. They have really made my life
:15:14. > :15:24.much better than I thought it would be. They have made me much more
:15:24. > :15:26.
:15:26. > :15:30.confident than I was before. Great stuff.
:15:30. > :15:33.And on Friday, of course, we'll be looking the fun you've been having
:15:33. > :15:43.to raise money for Children In Need. Free internet access through wi-fi
:15:43. > :15:44.
:15:44. > :15:47.has been launched on some streets Amy Garcia and Keeley Donovan will
:15:47. > :15:56.be live in Pudsey. And if you've been fundraising and would like to
:15:57. > :16:01.bring your cheques along, get in touch.
:16:01. > :16:05.Coming go before seven, we will find out about some really wild
:16:05. > :16:15.nightlife. How were filming during the hours of darkness helped to
:16:15. > :16:23.
:16:23. > :16:27.shed new light on how these lions are settling into their new home.
:16:27. > :16:30.On to sport now and it was FA Cup weekend - a chance for some of the
:16:30. > :16:33.league's smaller clubs to have their moment in the spotlight. But
:16:33. > :16:37.also a potential pitfall for the big names - with a few tricky
:16:37. > :16:38.fixtures on the cards. There were goals aplenty. But would we get an
:16:38. > :16:42.upset? At stadiums around the country, it
:16:42. > :16:50.was a weekend to remember. First up Morecambe, where The Shrimpers
:16:50. > :16:55.first is the else -- against the else. And it was Chris lines who
:16:55. > :16:59.took the first bite of with a smart finish. Soon after the restart and
:16:59. > :17:04.Chris O'Grady looked to seal the victory. Morecambe, however, had
:17:04. > :17:10.other ideas. A helping hand gave them off soft penalty. Firmly
:17:10. > :17:15.finished. -- a sop penalty. It said that the nail-biting last half-an-
:17:15. > :17:20.hour, but in the end, Sheffield Wednesday held on. They will be
:17:20. > :17:25.joined by their nearest neighbours. Evans giving Sheffield United a
:17:25. > :17:29.comfortable 3-0 win over Oxford. And making it a South Yorkshire
:17:29. > :17:35.hat-trick, Rotherham, who came from behind to beat non-League Barrow.
:17:35. > :17:38.No such success for Chesterfield, he went down to Torquay. Finally to
:17:38. > :17:44.West Yorkshire, where Bradford might have only beaten Rochdale by
:17:44. > :17:49.one goal, but not a bad way to do it. Huddersfield Town are
:17:49. > :17:55.unbeatable in the league, but not in the Cup, it seems. They lost 4-1
:17:55. > :18:00.at Swinton. Finally, Halifax against Charlton, where they were
:18:00. > :18:08.playing live on TV for the first time ever. And they were making it
:18:08. > :18:12.a debut to be proud of. Just one goal down, 10 minutes to go. When...
:18:12. > :18:21.Two down and Halifax were chasing the tide. Q Charlton running away
:18:21. > :18:25.with it. A red card and two more quick-fire goals -- Kew. It was a
:18:25. > :18:30.scoreline that if mask a brave Live TV debut from Halifax.
:18:30. > :18:33.Unfortunately, you don't get the sequel.
:18:33. > :18:35.On to the draw for the Second Round and Sheffield Wednesday will play
:18:35. > :18:45.either Maidenhead or Aldershot, while neighbours Sheffield United
:18:45. > :18:49.
:18:49. > :18:53.have been drawn at home to Torquay. It has to be said, my son was at
:18:53. > :18:57.the Bradford City game and it was a belting goal, but he had gone to
:18:57. > :18:59.the toilet at the time! It is always the case.
:18:59. > :19:03.Now, Doncaster Rovers have already made headlines by signing three
:19:03. > :19:06.former Premier League players. And it seems they've been trying
:19:06. > :19:12.for another! But unfortunately it seems ex-Arsenal and France star
:19:12. > :19:15.Robert Pires doesn't fancy the Dean Saunders revolution. He broke the
:19:15. > :19:21.news on Twitter - saying he is "happy they think I can help them
:19:21. > :19:25.but it's not in my plan to play there".
:19:25. > :19:28.I had a great weekend in London but I was envious, because you were in
:19:28. > :19:30.Hull. The stage is set for a cracking
:19:30. > :19:34.Four Nations final, with England facing Australia at Elland Road
:19:34. > :19:41.next Saturday. You will be there as well.
:19:41. > :19:43.I well. -- England booked their place with a comprehensive win over
:19:43. > :19:46.the world champions New Zealand. Leeds winger Ryan Hall scored yet
:19:46. > :19:53.another stunning try, and was today shortlisted for the International
:19:53. > :19:57.Golden Boot award. Could offload. - - good. Yet again, somehow Ryan
:19:57. > :20:03.Hall managed to get the ball down, following two similar tries at
:20:03. > :20:06.Wembley. He has marked himself out as a world-class wing and has been
:20:06. > :20:09.earmarked for that prestigious Golden Boot award. His finishing
:20:09. > :20:14.has been top drawer and that has grab everyone's attention, when you
:20:14. > :20:18.look at his work elements as well. I can't remember the last time the
:20:18. > :20:22.winger was nominated for this award, which shows you the impact he has
:20:22. > :20:27.made. England were composed, patient and in the end, dominant
:20:27. > :20:31.against New Zealand. The first job is done. We were third favourite
:20:31. > :20:36.going in, so reaching the final was beyond most expectations but we
:20:36. > :20:40.have a good sharp. Not beyond the expectations of yourself, though?
:20:40. > :20:44.You are setting the standards. have got to come back there is no
:20:44. > :20:47.point going out to do something if you don't think you can do it and
:20:47. > :20:51.the goals will remain high. Both coaches talk today about wanting a
:20:51. > :20:55.big crowd at Elland Road. The Aussies know they will get booed
:20:55. > :21:00.but they don't mind that. That atmosphere generally brings the
:21:00. > :21:08.best out of the team, but teams draw energy from it and I hope it
:21:08. > :21:14.is a great game and people talk about it for some time. England
:21:14. > :21:22.came close at Wembley, maybe this time they can make a bit of history.
:21:22. > :21:27.Another outstanding dry -- try! Some quality ones for me, but the
:21:27. > :21:29.one where Brisco to have the ball at the end, it gave you the sense
:21:29. > :21:31.of relief. He was buzzing at the press
:21:31. > :21:37.conference today. But as a great night dead.
:21:37. > :21:39.I think they can do it. -- it was a great night out.
:21:39. > :21:43.Now, here on Look North you'll remember we've followed the story
:21:43. > :21:44.of the lions who were rescued from cramped conditions in a zoo in
:21:44. > :21:47.Romania last year and brought to Doncaster.
:21:47. > :21:50.So how are they settling in at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park? Well,
:21:50. > :21:53.night-time filming for the BBC's Inside Out programme has uncovered
:21:53. > :21:58.some of their secrets. Let's talk to Leeds expert Rae Kokesh from the
:21:58. > :22:03.African Lion and Environmental Research Trust. How can you tell if
:22:03. > :22:09.a lion is happy? One of the main things his play behaviour, that is
:22:09. > :22:14.one of the main things I look out for. -- ease. An animal that is
:22:14. > :22:18.playing is an animal that is happy, and throughout the night-time
:22:18. > :22:22.filming at Doncaster, we saw plenty of play, so it was fantastic to see.
:22:22. > :22:27.You can also hear them as well. I wanted to turn the microphone then,
:22:27. > :22:34.because before coming back to Look North, I had been working in Africa
:22:34. > :22:41.and she would often hear this... -- you would. Let's hear this. Does it
:22:41. > :22:48.show you whether you are happy? ROARING.
:22:48. > :22:52.That is a bit deeper than you. Can they be happy in a wildlife
:22:52. > :22:56.park? There is always the ongoing debate, but for me personally,
:22:56. > :23:01.Doncaster, the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, it is fantastic and when you
:23:01. > :23:04.compare it to do -- to the conditions in Romania, they have
:23:04. > :23:09.come on in leaps and bounds. It is to do with their diet but their
:23:09. > :23:13.enclosure is one of the best I have seen for lions in the country. When
:23:13. > :23:17.I went to see them when I did the filming, everything from their
:23:17. > :23:22.condition, they would lead and have lost weight, their fur is a lot
:23:22. > :23:27.more vibrant and their behaviour in general, you can tell they are
:23:27. > :23:33.happy. What other things you'd learn? At night time, the real
:23:33. > :23:38.lions come out. On average, they sleep 21 hours a day, so they do
:23:38. > :23:46.sleep that night but they are more active around the desk hours. --
:23:46. > :23:51.dusk. As the air gets colder and it gets lighter, lions will roar, and
:23:51. > :23:56.they will make use of their territorial behaviour. It can
:23:56. > :24:01.travel up to five miles away, and this is then saying it, this is our
:24:01. > :24:05.territory, locating one another, -- this is then saying. We can see
:24:05. > :24:09.them during the day as well. Is there any question of them being
:24:09. > :24:17.taken from Doncaster and returning to the wild or would they be killed
:24:17. > :24:24.by rival lions, Paul Wood A*? combination of both. -- or would

:24:29. > :24:35.-- it can work. That is what by charity is a tempting to do in
:24:35. > :24:39.Zambia, but the Doncaster Lions are much older -- attempting. Some of
:24:39. > :24:43.the male lions are very old and they wouldn't stand a chance in the
:24:43. > :24:48.wild, but they do have the instinctive behaviour. And you see
:24:48. > :24:54.them still changing while they are there, getting more used to it?
:24:54. > :24:58.was doing so. Going back to instinct, they wouldn't last very
:24:58. > :25:02.long if they put a zebra in the enclosure. Forgive me for my
:25:02. > :25:08.impression. It was fine. And you can see more about the
:25:08. > :25:12.Doncaster lions on Inside Out at 7:30 tonight on BBC One.
:25:12. > :25:15.Time for another lion, this time of the weather business.
:25:15. > :25:19.Can I show you some of pictures. Can I show you some of pictures.
:25:20. > :25:24.The first one with the sunshine. This was this morning, almost like
:25:24. > :25:28.a landscape painting. And the second one, very nice, with the fog
:25:29. > :25:38.in the bottom of the valley, up towards Bradford. Keep the pictures
:25:38. > :25:42.We have obviously started a new week, but we are stuck in the same
:25:42. > :25:48.pattern. We had a bit of sunshine on Saturday but on Sunday and for
:25:48. > :25:52.tomorrow and Wednesday, Doll and damp, with high pressure -- doll.
:25:52. > :25:57.Feeding in a lot of low cloud from the south-east. But it will change
:25:57. > :26:01.on Thursday and Friday. Look at all of that low cloud which continues
:26:01. > :26:05.to feed up from the south-east than anything, it is going to thicken,
:26:05. > :26:10.producing a little drizzle in places. If you are travelling
:26:10. > :26:15.across the Pennines now or later tonight, it will be extensive fog,
:26:15. > :26:19.especially over 900 feet, drizzle wherever you are. As has been the
:26:19. > :26:27.theme for much of November, it is going to be frost-free. Unusually
:26:27. > :26:36.mild of this month, loads of 7C, 45 Fahrenheit. The sun will rise at
:26:36. > :26:42.7:33am and set at four awake pm. -- 4:08pm. Another dreary start to the
:26:42. > :26:46.day, drizzly Andover cast. As we head through the second part of the
:26:46. > :26:51.day, it may well be that East End and southern parts brighten up a
:26:51. > :26:55.little bit but essentially, it is over cast -- Eastern. Nothing to
:26:55. > :27:02.get excited about temperature wise, they are where they should be in
:27:02. > :27:09.the middle of November, 10C or so, but Malath over the tops of the
:27:10. > :27:15.hills. -- lower. A damp start to Wednesday, possibly brighter away
:27:15. > :27:17.from the Pennines. Patches of rain on Thursday, Friday looks much
:27:17. > :27:22.brighter and mostly dry. So it improvement.
:27:22. > :27:23.It will be nice at the weekend. I will pass. A low confidence.
:27:23. > :27:30.I will pass. A low confidence. Christa will be back tomorrow. And
:27:30. > :27:33.thank you for all your messages asking about Harry. I n just the
:27:33. > :27:37.stand-in. I'm pleased to say he's recovered well from a recent
:27:37. > :27:42.operation and will be back here on the sofa on Thursday November 24th.
