:00:07. > :00:16.who killed a little girl while driving down a pedestrianised
:00:16. > :00:23.alleyway. The driver is sincerely remorse for, being a mother of
:00:23. > :00:25.three herself. Nevertheless, Shamirah's death has left a heart
:00:25. > :00:28.rending gap within our family's lives.
:00:28. > :00:32.Also tonight, the latest case of grooming ends in a life sentence.
:00:32. > :00:35.The murderer of a teenage mother is sent down for 17 years.
:00:35. > :00:42.And the long and short of it is that the world's tallest actor is

:00:52. > :00:53.
:00:53. > :00:56.Christmas, join me for that details. The parents of a nine-year-old girl
:00:56. > :01:01.killed by a learner driver have today spoken of their forgiveness
:01:01. > :01:04.for the woman behind the wheel. Shamirah Grant died when a car ran
:01:04. > :01:08.out of control in a pedestrianised alleyway close to her home in Leeds
:01:08. > :01:14.in May this year. The driver, 34- year-old Beatrice Mawamba, was
:01:14. > :01:16.today sentenced to two years in prison. After the hearing,
:01:16. > :01:26.Shamirah's mother and father said they had forgiven all those
:01:26. > :01:27.
:01:27. > :01:31.involved. Olivia Richwald reports. She was beautiful and talented,
:01:31. > :01:35.Shamirah's parents say their little girl could light up a room with hat
:01:35. > :01:39.energy. In May, she was playing with friends in this pedestrianised
:01:39. > :01:43.alley way which he was hit by a car. The woman behind the wheel was a
:01:43. > :01:46.neighbour on her first driving lesson. Beatrice Mawamba was being
:01:46. > :01:51.taught by her husband. The had given her some instructions but as
:01:51. > :01:54.she moved into first gear, she lost control. Leeds crown court heard
:01:54. > :01:58.today that she had not know where the break was. She had not thought
:01:58. > :02:02.to steer the car away from this alleyway and had not tied -- tried
:02:02. > :02:07.to turn the ignition off. The judge said she had shown an ignorant of
:02:07. > :02:13.the most elementary principles of driving. The result was the tragedy.
:02:13. > :02:19.The judge jailed her for two years. But instead of Britain as
:02:19. > :02:23.commissioner's parents have found be given and. We appreciate that
:02:24. > :02:28.such an event was not intention. -- intentional so we have accepted
:02:28. > :02:32.that the driver was sincerely remorse for being a mother of three
:02:32. > :02:39.herself. Nevertheless, Shamirah's death has left a heart rendering
:02:39. > :02:47.gap in our family's life. Leeds crown court heard today that Lynda
:02:47. > :02:53.Baumber, a mother of three, she was still inconsolable. He pleaded
:02:53. > :02:57.guilty. We accept that it was ignorant, maybe it was stupid and
:02:57. > :03:02.irresponsible. But we know how intent was not to kill anybody. To
:03:02. > :03:06.have taken somebody else's child in that way, we appreciate that it
:03:06. > :03:12.must be a difficult situation. still live next to the place their
:03:12. > :03:17.daughter died. It is a painful and daily reminder. But inspired by
:03:17. > :03:21.Shamirah's love of dancing and singing, they are now setting up a
:03:21. > :03:24.performing arts company in her name to help young people. We just want
:03:24. > :03:31.to enlightened other children with her spirit. There was nothing that
:03:31. > :03:34.Shamirah was frightened of going. She was a very positive young
:03:34. > :03:42.person, unbelievably so. That is what we want to instil in young
:03:42. > :03:46.people, instead of that dysfunctional background, they
:03:46. > :03:50.still have every reason to be positive about life in the future
:03:50. > :03:52.in spite of that. Could you forgive? We'd like to hear what you
:03:52. > :03:56.think about the remarkable things Shamirah's parents have said. You
:03:56. > :04:06.can post a comment on our Facebook page or you can send us an email.

:04:13. > :04:18.murdering a young mother. Ashtiaq Ahmed repeatedly stabbed Laura
:04:18. > :04:21.Wilson and dumped her while she was still alive in a canal in Rotherham.
:04:21. > :04:26.Today he was told at Sheffield Crown Court that he would serve at
:04:26. > :04:29.least 17 and a half years in prison. 17-year-old Laura, the mother of a
:04:29. > :04:33.young daughter, is thought to have been groomed for sex by Asian men
:04:33. > :04:40.in the South Yorkshire town. Our crime correspondent John Cundy
:04:40. > :04:44.reports. It was nearly three days of the
:04:44. > :04:49.Laura Wilson was stabbed in October last year before her body was
:04:49. > :04:54.recovered from the South Yorkshire navigational canal. During two
:04:54. > :04:59.trials, juries heard that Laura was held down at knifepoint in the
:04:59. > :05:08.water by 18 year-old ash Tyacke Ahmed as she struggled to survive.
:05:08. > :05:13.-- Ashtiaq Ahmed. It was her sexual relationship with two men which led
:05:13. > :05:17.to her murder. The Asian men were said to have been separate --
:05:17. > :05:22.desperate to stop their families from finding out that they had been
:05:22. > :05:32.with a white girl, Laura. At the lonely spot here where Laura was
:05:32. > :05:32.
:05:32. > :05:37.murdered, his friend -- Ashtiaq Ahmed's friend was cleared. It was
:05:37. > :05:46.another case where young girls had been groomed for sex with adults,
:05:46. > :05:51.have been Laura's case from the age of 12. Rotherham's safeguarding
:05:51. > :05:54.children's board will be publishing a serious case reviewed in the New
:05:54. > :06:04.Year about Laura Wilson. There have been concerned for her for five
:06:04. > :06:08.
:06:08. > :06:11.years. In a statement today they I am satisfied that Laura was
:06:12. > :06:15.stabbed multiple times, some of those stab wounds prevented her
:06:15. > :06:19.from climbing out. She had a significant injuries to her hands
:06:20. > :06:22.and wrists which would have prevented her from climbing out.
:06:22. > :06:28.From our investigation we are satisfied that she was alive when
:06:28. > :06:34.she went into a canal, made efforts to get out but was prevented from
:06:34. > :06:38.doing so by the man in court. At knife point, I think the knife was
:06:38. > :06:43.used to prevent hope of getting out. In the words of the judge, the
:06:43. > :06:48.murderer had used an element of sadism who brave -- against Laura
:06:48. > :06:51.Wilson who had bravely stood up to him. But he had decided that the
:06:51. > :06:57.goal, who had become a sexual target for older men, could not go
:06:57. > :07:04.Denis MacShane, the MP from Rotherham, joins us from London.
:07:04. > :07:08.What are your concerns? It is a terrible tragedy, for Laura's
:07:08. > :07:15.family. Also at this man, we are teeming -- talking about teenagers
:07:15. > :07:20.here, not adults, he has gone to prison for 17 1/2 years. There are
:07:20. > :07:24.so many into related problems. The problem of grooming, the problem
:07:24. > :07:30.that we pour into our children's minds the idea that sexual
:07:30. > :07:38.gratification at an early age is the norm. The porn industry, the
:07:39. > :07:43.fact that people are Trafford into Britain, men produced -- if men
:07:43. > :07:46.produce �50 they can have sex in a brothel anyway there -- anyway
:07:46. > :07:50.they'll want. We are talking about all of the country, not just
:07:50. > :07:54.Rotherham. We have problems in Yorkshire towns because I think
:07:54. > :08:00.there is a generation gap between men and women, a culture of
:08:00. > :08:03.treating women as easy meat, to use a horrible expression. We also have
:08:03. > :08:07.some very dysfunctional families, Laura was getting some affection
:08:07. > :08:11.and good treatment, she did not come from a happy family background.
:08:11. > :08:15.We also have the agencies, social services and police, the schools,
:08:15. > :08:20.not quite reading the signs. Parents not even reading the signs
:08:20. > :08:23.and understanding what is going on. We have this concept of shame...
:08:23. > :08:26.The government is trying to do something about this, to try and
:08:26. > :08:30.make us aware of this kind of thing going on. What would you like to
:08:30. > :08:35.see happen in that initiative or is that going the wrong way? There is
:08:35. > :08:39.no government argument with this. We have to highlight this. We have
:08:39. > :08:43.to be very frank and say that in modern Britain, the concept of
:08:43. > :08:49.shame and honour, the idea that if your son has sex with a goal and
:08:49. > :08:52.then has a baby, that brings no shame, or rather it is a family
:08:52. > :08:56.problem. Unprotected sex is a terrible problem among teenagers
:08:56. > :09:02.anyway. We have to say this does not lead to violence to honour
:09:02. > :09:06.killings, or this kind of death. I would like to see the concept of a
:09:06. > :09:11.Guardian, so that where we fear that a person has been traffic or
:09:11. > :09:14.internally traffic or groomed for sex, and individually -- an
:09:14. > :09:19.individual adult can take responsibility and say to the
:09:19. > :09:24.police and social services, this is what needs to be done. It does not
:09:24. > :09:28.cover people shuffled between other agencies, individuals are
:09:28. > :09:31.encouraged to take responsibility for someone who is very
:09:31. > :09:36.dysfunctional. That is one way forward.
:09:36. > :09:40.Thank you very much indeed. Later: Helping retrace the roots of
:09:40. > :09:50.travellers. It's not all big fat gypsy weddings, a plea for
:09:50. > :09:54.
:09:54. > :09:59.youngsters to come forward to help I do not think in all their ears
:09:59. > :10:01.that we have been doing this, I have seen CCTV footage as shocking
:10:01. > :10:04.as this. The British transport police in
:10:04. > :10:10.South Yorkshire are warning party goers to take care after one was
:10:10. > :10:13.caught on CCTV falling off a train and onto the railway tracks. Tom
:10:13. > :10:22.Ingall is at Barnsley station now where the incident happened and can
:10:22. > :10:25.tell us more. I am standing on the platform at
:10:25. > :10:27.Barnsley Interchange where this accident happened. It was earlier
:10:27. > :10:30.this year but British Transport Police have released the dramatic
:10:30. > :10:33.pictures today because they want to warn people to be safe if they are
:10:33. > :10:38.using public transport this Christmas, particularly if they are
:10:38. > :10:42.going to a party and drinking. You might find these pictures shocking,
:10:42. > :10:45.they will take your breath away. The Lady get out of the train,
:10:45. > :10:49.clearly the worse for wear, and falls down the gap between the
:10:50. > :10:55.train and a platform, ending up on the tracks next to the wheels.
:10:55. > :11:00.Important to say, the train did not move, apart from some cuts and
:11:00. > :11:06.bruises she was not injured. But a lucky escape. As a footnote, the
:11:06. > :11:09.trains were delayed so it set up -- it messed up some plans for the
:11:09. > :11:15.evening. British Transport Police are warning Pele -- a warning other
:11:15. > :11:19.revellers today. They say, plan your journey before you start
:11:20. > :11:24.drinking, particularly your return journey. Know your limits with your
:11:24. > :11:29.alcohol, keep an even temper, and most importantly, as they say on
:11:29. > :11:31.London Underground, mind the gap. The death of a two-year-old girl in
:11:31. > :11:35.Dewsbury could possibly have been prevented if professionals involved
:11:35. > :11:38.in the case had not misjudged the risk to her. Jasmine Bellfield was
:11:38. > :11:43.smothered by her mentally ill mother Sonia at their home last

:12:03. > :12:06.Khan devised the scheme to persuade vulnerable Slovak women to marry
:12:06. > :12:11.Pakistani men so the men could stay in Yorkshire after their visas ran
:12:11. > :12:17.out. The crime came to light when UK Border Agency officials and
:12:17. > :12:21.police interrupted a fake wedding at Leeds Town Hall. Khan was
:12:21. > :12:24.sentenced to two years and three months in jail. Other members of
:12:24. > :12:33.the gang were given sentences of between 12 months and two and a
:12:33. > :12:37.half years. We have not only had 20 marriages interrupted, by our
:12:37. > :12:42.enforcement, but we know that we have stopped 70 more this year
:12:42. > :12:46.alone. We have been operating in other parts of Yorkshire other than
:12:46. > :12:48.Leeds. It is that kind of effective enforcement that act as a long-term
:12:48. > :12:51.deterrent. 48 Yorkshire jobs are going at the

:13:39. > :13:41.For women going through breast cancer, losing their hair and
:13:41. > :13:47.scarring or disfigurement has a huge impact on their self
:13:47. > :13:50.confidence. Two West Yorkshire women are bringing their personal

:14:11. > :14:16.To make women at their lowest ebb feel better. I and Debbie, this is
:14:16. > :14:20.duly. Baby suffered a total hair loss and Julie is less than two
:14:20. > :14:25.years on from breast cancer. Today they are on visiting someone who is
:14:25. > :14:29.still having treatment for breast cancer diagnosed in June. One of
:14:29. > :14:33.the problems I had was finding a bra that was comfortable. More to
:14:33. > :14:37.the point, feminine and pretty. I had a few not very nice experiences
:14:37. > :14:40.in major high-street stores, where you are made to feel a bit of a
:14:40. > :14:44.freak. I thought about doing something like this for quite a
:14:44. > :14:48.while, because I wanted to stop lady's going through the same
:14:48. > :14:58.problems and the embarrassment that I had. Have you had any ideas on
:14:58. > :14:59.
:14:59. > :15:03.clothes? Or weeks? Blonde, I think. It is just a little stocking cap.
:15:03. > :15:07.found it very difficult and embarrassing to get a week. It is a
:15:07. > :15:10.few years since that, but I still do not have any hair and I still
:15:11. > :15:16.wear the hair pieces. I'd wanted to do something topical in their own
:15:16. > :15:26.home to make them feel comfortable and relaxed. Because I am wearing
:15:26. > :15:30.
:15:30. > :15:35.one as well it makes them feel How does that feel? It is lovely.
:15:35. > :15:43.It is a good colour. That is the one I think. I'd definitely like
:15:44. > :15:49.the blonde. We look like sisters! Just lean slightly forward for me,
:15:49. > :15:52.Magritte. Bringing the fitting experience to people's Homes is
:15:52. > :15:56.helpful because it takes the embarrassment out of it. Some
:15:56. > :15:59.people, following surgery, if it is quite radical, are uncomfortable
:15:59. > :16:07.and they have major scarring and they do not want to be tugged
:16:07. > :16:12.around in a shop. I have not been able to wear a proper bra, I have
:16:12. > :16:15.had to wear a sports bra, which do not do anything for you. To have a
:16:15. > :16:20.proper bra is really good. I feel more like a woman, like my old
:16:20. > :16:24.self- again. The more relaxed they feel, the better response we get at
:16:24. > :16:30.the easier it makes our jobs. It is so nice when you can do something
:16:30. > :16:33.for somebody, that makes them feel good. What a wonderful experience.

:17:17. > :17:19.you might take inspiration from one of Britain's most accomplished

:17:22. > :17:26.Wellington is reigning Ironman World Champion for the fourth time.
:17:26. > :17:36.And they came from far and wide to meet her, or was it to try and beat
:17:36. > :17:40.
:17:40. > :17:45.Tell us why you are here. To see Chrissie Wellington, when are you
:17:45. > :17:50.going to get another chance to train with Chrissie Wellington?
:17:50. > :17:56.you mean a chance to beat her? will see, I might take it easy!
:17:56. > :18:01.came down and then, Chrissie Wellington walked in, and it was
:18:01. > :18:05.like, wow! It actually her! Chrissie Wellington can light up
:18:05. > :18:09.the gloomiest of December at Yorkshire afternoons just by
:18:09. > :18:18.arriving at the track. That makes her a perfect patron for Jane
:18:18. > :18:22.Tomlinson's charity. Today's run with Chrissie event was an equally
:18:22. > :18:26.appropriate fund raiser. Jane's appeal continues to inspire and
:18:26. > :18:30.Christie picked up the baton for her fans and followers. But she was
:18:30. > :18:36.not the only one in good nick for Christmas. It has been very jovial,
:18:36. > :18:40.people are enthusiastic and excited. I am the same, I am excited about
:18:40. > :18:47.the opportunity to talk to people. High achieving sportswomen, present
:18:47. > :18:51.and future, all on one December afternoon in north Leeds. You can
:18:51. > :18:56.bet future sports personality of the air shortlist will not be all-
:18:56. > :19:01.male. I love triathlon. I just love it. Are we talking to a future
:19:01. > :19:05.world champion? I think so! It is something that I want to instil, in
:19:05. > :19:10.as many children as possible. Not necessarily the competitive aspect
:19:10. > :19:15.but just the joy and passion for sport. Do you have ever have a day
:19:15. > :19:17.off? Of course, but just not Christmas Day! Absolutely
:19:17. > :19:20.remarkable. My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding was
:19:20. > :19:23.probably one of the most memorable TV documentaries series of this
:19:23. > :19:33.year.It certainly got people talking and brought a lot of
:19:33. > :19:34.
:19:34. > :19:37.attention upon the travelling community. That and a man from
:19:38. > :19:44.there ended up winning big brother as well. And if you didn't watch it,
:19:44. > :19:48.or even if you did, here's a reminder of those huge dresses.
:19:48. > :19:54.Only on the rarest of occasions the Gypsy and non gypsies celebrate
:19:55. > :19:59.side by side. But today, the two communities have come together to
:20:00. > :20:07.see 17 year-old not travel less damage marry her gypsy boy friend
:20:07. > :20:10.Pat. Some people in the travelling community felt they were unfairly
:20:10. > :20:13.portrayed in the series and even ridicule.
:20:13. > :20:22.Now young gypsies and travellers in Yorkshire have been asked to
:20:22. > :20:26.produce their own DVD, a book for a showing another side to their
:20:26. > :20:33.community. The project is being run by Violet Cannon. You are a gypsy?
:20:33. > :20:38.Yes, I am. Why did you not like it? It up like a caricature up of the
:20:38. > :20:42.community rather than an insight fork -- an insight into the
:20:42. > :20:48.community. Even though some people saw the moral side of our community,
:20:48. > :20:51.people who read certain tabloid newspapers watched it and saw very
:20:51. > :20:56.over-the-top wealth, often patients shows of wealth and questions were

:21:21. > :21:24.also got a documentary in -- on another channel. I know you want to

:21:28. > :21:36.are called a traveller. What is the difference between a road map and
:21:36. > :21:41.agrimony, and the traveller and a gypsy? I work with seven different
:21:41. > :21:48.groups of people, and within that you have got two lifestyle choices,
:21:48. > :21:53.to macroeconomic travellers and four ethnic travellers. We are
:21:53. > :22:01.working with Eastern European gypsies, they are roaming the
:22:02. > :22:08.gypsy's cousins, they share their same culture. We have similar views.

:22:40. > :22:43.It wouldn't be Christmas without panto, and here in Yorkshire we've
:22:43. > :22:46.got everything from Aladdin to Jack and his beanstalk. But in Bradford,
:22:46. > :22:48.Robin Hood has come to The Alhambra Theatre and alongside the usual
:22:49. > :22:57.heroes and villains, there's one character who will stand out more
:22:57. > :23:01.than the rest. Amanda Harper can explain.
:23:01. > :23:05.We are minutes a wave from the performance tonight of Robin Hood,
:23:05. > :23:10.and I am with arguably the biggest star of the show. Lovely to meet

:24:12. > :24:18.which will be out next year, he is the hero in the film. I play a big
:24:19. > :24:22.bad guy but it is basically Samurai, fighting, action and sci-fi, it was
:24:22. > :24:28.a lot of fun and it was really nice to get to know him, he was really
:24:28. > :24:33.nice. Bringing you back to Bradford, what can our audiences expect?
