:00:05. > :00:09.Welcome to Tuesday's Look North. On the programme tonight: The
:00:09. > :00:12.former soldier who shot dead his landlady is cleared of murder. He
:00:12. > :00:17.claims post-traumatic stress disorder caused him to carry out
:00:17. > :00:20.the brutal killing. We'll be asking another veteran just how widespread
:00:20. > :00:24.the disorder is. Also tonight, staff are asked to
:00:24. > :00:29.take unpaid leave. One of the suggestions by bosses at a
:00:29. > :00:32.Yorkshire hospital trust in a bid to save around �24 million.
:00:32. > :00:40.And the brave five-year-old girl from York who's survived heart
:00:40. > :00:48.surgery and is getting ready to meet a very special guest. My face
:00:48. > :00:52.will be shocked. I think it will. And snow will be falling across
:00:52. > :00:56.parts of Yorkshire this evening and overnight. The Met Office have
:00:56. > :01:05.issued a yellow warning. I will have the full details later in the
:01:05. > :01:07.programme. Good evening.
:01:07. > :01:09.First tonight, a former soldier suffering from post-traumatic
:01:09. > :01:15.stress disorder has been cleared of murdering his landlady despite
:01:15. > :01:18.shooting her dead in January last year. Aaron Wilkinson still faces a
:01:18. > :01:21.long prison sentence, after being found guilty of manslaughter. He
:01:21. > :01:24.said he'd "gone crazy" in the incident at the Yorkshire Game Farm
:01:24. > :01:32.in the village of Woodlesford, near Leeds. Here's our crime
:01:32. > :01:36.correspondent, John Cundy. Hidden from view behind the police cordon
:01:36. > :01:41.there lay a scene of tragedy here in January last year. Judith
:01:41. > :01:44.Garnett had been shot dead at her home at the Yorkshire Game Farm.
:01:44. > :01:49.The killer, Aaron Wilkinson, who had worked for her for ten years.
:01:49. > :01:53.He had been her lodger but Mrs Garnett had told him to leave.
:01:53. > :01:58.Aaron Wilkinson said he had gone crazy and lost his head when Judith
:01:58. > :02:05.Garnett asked him to move out of her home here at the Yorkshire Game
:02:05. > :02:08.Farm. He shot Mrs Garnett three times in the face, chest and head.
:02:08. > :02:12.Wilkinson admitted manslaughter but denied murder, claiming he was
:02:12. > :02:17.suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after serving six
:02:17. > :02:20.months with the Army in Afghanistan. Following his return, Wilkinson was
:02:20. > :02:26.said to have been preoccupied with his experiences in Afghanistan,
:02:26. > :02:32.where he had suffered a minor shrapnel wound. Apparently he had
:02:32. > :02:35.been disappointed at not having fired a single shot in come bat.
:02:35. > :02:40.Flanked by Judith Garnett's sons police read their statements in
:02:40. > :02:44.tribute to their mother today. took in Aaron Wilkinson when he was
:02:44. > :02:48.homeless, gave him a roof over his head, employment, and treated him
:02:48. > :02:54.like part of the family, like she did with autumn her staff and
:02:54. > :02:57.workers. She was kind, a generous woman, and a remarkable woman. No-
:02:57. > :03:01.one could have predicted the dreadful events of 24th January
:03:01. > :03:08.last year when a young man Judith Garnett had supported for many
:03:08. > :03:12.years turned on her in such a violent and horrific way. The court
:03:12. > :03:16.agreed that Aaron Wilkinson is suffering from a serious mental
:03:16. > :03:23.abnormality. Two psychiatrists will spend the next two months deciding
:03:23. > :03:25.whether he poses a serious risk to the public in future then the judge
:03:25. > :03:29.will sentence Wilkinson. He will receive treatment either at the
:03:29. > :03:32.beginning or towards tends of what is bound to be a long period of
:03:32. > :03:35.detention. This is just one of a number of
:03:35. > :03:38.cases involving members of the armed forces who have been
:03:38. > :03:40.diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. One man who was
:03:40. > :03:48.also disagnosed is former Gulf War veteran Shaun Rusling, who now
:03:48. > :03:55.campaigns for better health care for veterans. He says even the
:03:55. > :03:58.toughest soldier can became deeply traumatised. It doesn't matter
:03:58. > :04:05.which part of the service you come. From I was Parachute Regiment
:04:05. > :04:09.soldier. It can affect the SAS or any walk of life in the British
:04:09. > :04:11.forces. Do you think we don't even know the number of soldiers
:04:11. > :04:14.suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder? We certainly don't
:04:14. > :04:18.know how many are suffering from that because the Ministry of
:04:18. > :04:24.Defence don't wish to keep records. If a serviceman becomes ill while
:04:24. > :04:32.in service he is entitled to a pension, so subsequently they try
:04:32. > :04:34.overtly to not allow servicemen to have a pension. How key is early
:04:34. > :04:38.intervention? The trouble is I suppose you are in a macho
:04:38. > :04:42.environment and to admit that you are suffering from a serious mental
:04:43. > :04:46.health issue doesn't fit in to that kind of environment, does it?
:04:46. > :04:51.it doesn't. It is not helpful to the servicemen themselves to admit
:04:51. > :04:56.they've got a psychological dysfunction. It is sometimes not
:04:56. > :05:01.helpful to your colleagues or an officer to show that you are
:05:01. > :05:04.suffering with ill health. But it is paramount that a servicemen is
:05:04. > :05:10.treated earlier. The earlier he is treated the better the outcome.
:05:10. > :05:13.What are the consequences for not diagnosing soon enough?
:05:13. > :05:17.clinical facts with post-traumatic stress disorder is if it is not
:05:18. > :05:22.early diagnosed and treated it develops into major depression. If
:05:22. > :05:26.major depression is not treated properly it can turn into a
:05:26. > :05:29.personality disorder and then it will have difficult problems them.
:05:29. > :05:34.You are very critical of the Government, saying sometimes they
:05:34. > :05:37.don't recognise that can take years to develop this kind of disorder,
:05:38. > :05:42.and that pensions should be paid, medical help should be sought, and
:05:43. > :05:48.in fact people should be helped. Most certainly the Government are
:05:48. > :05:52.trying, but I don't feel quick enough. For 15 years our charitable
:05:52. > :05:56.organisation has been asked on bringing to attention the problems
:05:56. > :06:00.relating to Combat Stress. But we seem to be moving very slowly. I
:06:00. > :06:04.think it is the Ministry of Defence dragging their feet. Sean, thank
:06:04. > :06:09.you very much for speaking to us. And you are well now are you?
:06:09. > :06:15.afraid you never get well from it cystta. You have good days and bad
:06:15. > :06:18.days, and you try to make the best of them. Thank you. You are welcome.
:06:18. > :06:21.Well, this time last week we were talking about drought orders in
:06:21. > :06:23.Yorkshire and temperatures of 23 degrees. Tonight we're preparing
:06:23. > :06:26.for snow! Gritters are on standby throughout Yorkshire and we could
:06:26. > :06:35.see as much as 10cm overnight. Olivia Richwald is on the North
:06:35. > :06:40.York moors for us. Or I thought she was. She looks to be inside in the
:06:40. > :06:45.warm! Yes, Christa, I am on the North York Moors and we are going
:06:45. > :06:51.outside in a minute. It is snowing so hard now the know is coming
:06:51. > :06:56.downside ways and it is windy. I'm at the Lion Incapacity benefit on
:06:56. > :07:01.Blakey Ridge. Just last week it was 23 degrees here and the customers
:07:01. > :07:06.were outside in the beer garden in shorts and T-shirts. Dave Crosland
:07:06. > :07:12.is one of the landlords. How unexpected this weather change?
:07:12. > :07:17.Compared to last week when the beer garden was full of people in the
:07:17. > :07:21.sun, this is a big shock. We hope to get the sunshine back tomorrow.
:07:21. > :07:26.Your family has been here for 30 years. You must be used to weather
:07:26. > :07:32.like this? Usually in January time, not in April. We like nice weather
:07:32. > :07:36.for Easter, so hopefully it won't stay for long. I will take you back
:07:36. > :07:41.to December 2010. That's when we had all that snow. The snow came
:07:41. > :07:45.down in six-foot drifts, and seven people were stranded in this pub
:07:45. > :07:50.for eight days. It was interesting to start with but apparently after
:07:50. > :07:54.that it got quite boring. As you can see the snow is coming down, it
:07:54. > :07:59.is starting to settlement. It is bitterly cold and windy. We've just
:07:59. > :08:03.heard that two cars have slipped off the roads here. There is more
:08:03. > :08:07.snow on the way. Lisa will have a full forecast later in the
:08:07. > :08:11.programme. I think she chickened out there
:08:11. > :08:15.don't new She should be there all the time that. Looks chilly.
:08:15. > :08:18.Do stay with us. Later on Look North: Could he be the first from
:08:18. > :08:22.the Steel City to star at the Crucible? We look at the chances of
:08:22. > :08:27.a young man from Sheffield making it to the last 32 in the Snooker
:08:27. > :08:30.World Championships. Hospital staff are being asked to
:08:30. > :08:34.reduce their hours and take unpaid leave to try to save millions of
:08:34. > :08:36.pounds at one of Yorkshire's biggest hospital trusts. The plans
:08:36. > :08:38.have been announced by Mid Yorkshire NHS Trust, which oversees
:08:38. > :08:48.Pinderfields, Pontefract and Dewsbury hospitals. Jamie Coulson
:08:48. > :08:48.
:08:48. > :08:52.is here with more. Mid Yorkshire NHS Trust certainly has its money
:08:52. > :08:57.worries. This year it has blown its Budget by nearly �20 million. But
:08:57. > :09:01.now it has been told it must find �24 million worth of savings next
:09:01. > :09:06.year to try and balance the books and meet Government cuts. The new
:09:06. > :09:10.chief executive says urgent action is needed, so he the plans to offer
:09:10. > :09:15.staff extra unpaid leave, reduce weekly hours for new members of
:09:15. > :09:20.staff, and by putting tighter controls on agency staff and lo
:09:20. > :09:23.come doctors. I would hope our staff here recognise that we've got
:09:24. > :09:28.a very significant financial challenge in making sure this trust
:09:28. > :09:33.can operate on a sound financial basis in the future. I am looking
:09:33. > :09:38.forward to working with our staff in making these plans happen, so we
:09:38. > :09:43.can put the trust in very good shape for the future. Mid Yorkshire
:09:43. > :09:49.NHS Trust employs over 8,000 staff, which account for about 70% of the
:09:49. > :09:57.cost. But the unions are worried that the proeseed cuts could be
:09:57. > :10:01.damaging. -- Proposed cuts could be damaging. Full-time staff are
:10:01. > :10:06.proven to give extra. It is called the goodwill factor. It could
:10:06. > :10:10.damage morale, but I think the key factor here is the potential loss
:10:10. > :10:14.of staff goodwill. These plans come at a time when the trust remains
:10:14. > :10:18.under pressure to re-open overnight A&E services at Pontefract Hospital,
:10:18. > :10:23.which closed due to doctor shortages, and criticism from the
:10:23. > :10:26.Care Quality Commission over the staffing levels of maternity
:10:26. > :10:31.services at Dewsbury Hospital. These new cost-cutting plans will
:10:31. > :10:34.be put out to consultation. At the moment the trust says there are no
:10:34. > :10:40.compulsory redundancies planned but they can't rule them out in the
:10:40. > :10:43.future. More of today's news now. The
:10:43. > :10:48.former President of the union of democratic mine workers, Neil
:10:48. > :10:54.Greatrex, has been convicted of stealing nearly �150,000 from a
:10:54. > :10:57.charity which run as care home for ex-miners. The money paid for a new
:10:58. > :11:03.kitchen at his house and other home improvements. Mr Greatrex had
:11:03. > :11:07.nothing to say to reporters this morning. He formed the UDM in the
:11:07. > :11:11.1980s to represent miners who didn't agree with the way Arthur
:11:11. > :11:15.Scargill was handling the year-long miners' strike. Today he was found
:11:15. > :11:19.guilty of 14 charges of theft. The Liberal Democrats have launched
:11:19. > :11:24.their campaign for the council elections on May 3rd. They've
:11:24. > :11:27.published their regional manifesto for Yorkshire and the Humber on
:11:27. > :11:32.their website, promising to protect public services while sorting out
:11:32. > :11:35.the country's finances. It is going to be a tough contest. The last
:11:35. > :11:38.time we fought these seats were four years ago when we weren't in
:11:38. > :11:42.Government. Now we are doing difficult, controversial things.
:11:42. > :11:46.When people look at our record of delivering the millions of ordinary
:11:46. > :11:50.people in Government, they will actually reward us with their
:11:51. > :11:55.support. It seems we can't get it right with our rainfall and rivers.
:11:55. > :12:00.For several years we've reported on floods. Now we've got a drought.
:12:00. > :12:03.Today the Environment Agency moved in to save the wild fish population
:12:03. > :12:09.strandedly falling river levels. It's the earliest time of year
:12:09. > :12:12.they've had to do it. It is only just April, but the
:12:12. > :12:19.Environment Agency is carrying out a fish rescue because of drought.
:12:19. > :12:24.Parts of the River Rye have dried up. Fish that can normally go where
:12:24. > :12:29.they will are trapped in the prools that remain. They will run out of
:12:29. > :12:33.oxygen and die, so they have to be moved. An electric current stuns
:12:33. > :12:39.them. They are netted and popped into buck bets none the worse for
:12:39. > :12:44.their brief orderia. It is not that unusual. Not in high summer. In the
:12:44. > :12:48.first week of April it is unheard of this. Is how bad things have
:12:48. > :12:52.already got. That's where the guys are fishing just a few yards away.
:12:52. > :12:56.And just here where I'm standing the river has run dry.
:12:56. > :13:01.In parts of Yorkshire the Environment Agency has already
:13:01. > :13:06.declared a drought. There is plenty to drink but very obviously not
:13:06. > :13:10.enough for wildlife. It is not just fish. Dozens of species of insect
:13:10. > :13:16.will suffer and so will the birds that eat them. And it is nesting
:13:16. > :13:20.time. After months of unusually dry wects what's needed is heavy,
:13:20. > :13:25.prolonged rainfall. Otherwise the outlook could be bleefpblgt Could
:13:25. > :13:30.it be terrible if it doesn't rain and if -- could be bleak. Could it
:13:30. > :13:35.be terrible if it doesn't rain. In terms of at the Colonel Gaddafi,
:13:35. > :13:41.yes kite have a long term impact. This was the same stretch of river
:13:41. > :13:46.in June 2005, when devastating floods swept through Helmsley.
:13:46. > :13:50.Another extreme of our change climate somehow the river and its
:13:50. > :13:55.wildlife seemed to recover but they benefit from a little help. These
:13:55. > :13:59.have a new home, where the river flows clear and high.
:13:59. > :14:09.But with problems like this in April, there is genuine concern
:14:09. > :14:17.
:14:17. > :14:23.In today's time we have a bit outside broadcast to celebrate the
:14:23. > :14:28.Queen coming to the city. For one little girl it is a very special
:14:28. > :14:38.day. After surviving heart surgery, the bravery of a young girl from
:14:38. > :14:43.York is to be rewarded by being given a chance to meet the Queen.
:14:43. > :14:48.More on than later. Now, later this month we will see the best snooker
:14:48. > :14:55.players in the world compete for the most prestigious trophy in the
:14:55. > :14:59.sport - the World Championship, at the Crucible in Sheffield. The
:14:59. > :15:04.title has been won by a Yorkshireman in the past, but never
:15:04. > :15:09.has a player from Sheffield qualified as one of the 32 players
:15:09. > :15:13.to compete in the opening round. But we could have the first by this
:15:13. > :15:23.time next week, as Shamir Masri's been finding out. This report
:15:23. > :15:29.
:15:29. > :15:35.contains flash photography. crowd are going mad for Bradford's
:15:35. > :15:40.Joe Johnson. These were the scenes of celebration back in 1986 when
:15:40. > :15:45.Bradford's Joe Johnson came out of relative obscurity to become the
:15:45. > :15:50.first and only Yorkshireman took lift the world championship trophy
:15:50. > :15:55.at the 13th Fred. Never in the tournament's history at the
:15:55. > :15:59.Crucible has a player from Sheffield made it into the first
:15:59. > :16:04.round proper of the tournament. This was Adam Duffy when we first
:16:04. > :16:08.met him in 2008. He had become the first amateur to be awarded the
:16:08. > :16:13.Paul Hunter scholarship. His ambition then as a teenager was to
:16:13. > :16:20.turn professional, which he achieved bustier. Now he is just
:16:20. > :16:26.four matches away from Crucible history. I have to win 40 frames,
:16:26. > :16:30.basically, to get to the Crucible. It sounds a lot, but when you will
:16:30. > :16:35.play, it is not a lot. Why has no one from Sheffield qualified for
:16:35. > :16:39.this tournament? There is so many good players out there, the game
:16:39. > :16:44.has come on so much, look at all the youngsters coming through. It
:16:44. > :16:48.is so difficult to qualify, there is so much talent in Sheffield and
:16:48. > :16:53.all around the world. You have the Chinese coming through. It is a
:16:53. > :16:59.tough game. How much would it mean to you to get through to poke
:16:59. > :17:03.Crucible? It would mean everything. It is something I have dreamt about
:17:03. > :17:11.four years. To be there with a chance to qualify is unthinkable,
:17:11. > :17:14.really. As a kid, I have always gone to the Crucible on watch the
:17:15. > :17:20.likes of Ronnie O'Sullivan doing his thing. I am lucky enough to
:17:20. > :17:25.have witnessed or one for seven there, by Ronnie, something special.
:17:25. > :17:30.Every time I go there I think, I would love to be here and playing.
:17:30. > :17:34.It is a massive step for me. It is probably the hardest I have worked
:17:34. > :17:41.in the long time. I had been preparing for about a month now,
:17:41. > :17:46.the fitness as well, you need both. It is a lot of hard work. I think
:17:46. > :17:55.them ready for it. Let us hope that come a week on Saturday, Adam has
:17:55. > :18:00.booked his place at the Crucible. He will certainly have the support
:18:00. > :18:04.of the home crowd. It was a press conference with a difference at
:18:04. > :18:10.Odsal today, as the Bradford Bulls were joined by the Leeds Rhinos
:18:10. > :18:14.ahead of Friday's derby. The usual rivalry has been put aside - for
:18:14. > :18:18.the moment - because of the Bull's ongoing financial problems. They
:18:18. > :18:26.recently launched an appeal to raise a million pounds - with a
:18:26. > :18:31.warning this could be their last ever game if they don't raise it!
:18:31. > :18:36.It probably puts a little more spice to this actual game. It is
:18:36. > :18:43.against a local rivals, it will make for a great spectacle for the
:18:43. > :18:46.fans. Let us hope it does not get that was ever against an area.
:18:46. > :18:53.think they will pull through it. I do hope that whatever decision does
:18:53. > :18:56.get made is in the best interest of rugby league. I think Super League
:18:56. > :19:00.without Bradford Bulls becomes a less a sport.
:19:00. > :19:05.Huddersfield Giants coach Nathan Brown will take over at St Helens
:19:05. > :19:10.when his contract expires at the end of the season. The 38-year-old
:19:10. > :19:15.had been expected to return to his native Australia - but instead will
:19:15. > :19:20.be moving to the Lancashire club. Brown is in his fourth season at
:19:20. > :19:23.Huddersfield, who are top of the Super League after seven wins from
:19:23. > :19:29.their opening nine matches. The bravery of a young girl from
:19:29. > :19:35.York is being recognised this week during the Queen's visit to the
:19:35. > :19:39.city. Five-year-old Margot Barker was born with a hole in her heart
:19:39. > :19:44.and underwent life saving surgery when she was just three. Now she's
:19:44. > :19:53.been chosen to give Her Majesty a posy when she arrives in the city
:19:53. > :19:58.on Thursday to distribute Maundy money. Well, up my face will be
:19:58. > :20:03.shot, I think it will. I will be like this. And he would not be a
:20:03. > :20:09.little overwhelmed if they had been invited to meet the Queen? Two
:20:09. > :20:13.years ago, Margot Barker was in intensive care recovering from
:20:13. > :20:18.open-heart surgery. We found out she had a heart problem when she
:20:18. > :20:22.was three weeks old because she had a cough and we did not like the
:20:22. > :20:27.sound of that. The doctor heard that she had a murmur and then she
:20:27. > :20:32.had a few tests and we found she had a hole in her heart. She had
:20:32. > :20:37.been monitored for the first three years. We found out then that she
:20:37. > :20:41.would have to have open heart surgery to allow it to have the
:20:41. > :20:45.normal lifespan. Now she is a happy and healthy young girl, just like

:20:59. > :21:05.She will remember meeting have been all of her life and it puts the
:21:05. > :21:08.trauma in a positive light, actually, because, as she said
:21:09. > :21:13.recently, actually it is really good to have open heart surgery
:21:13. > :21:19.because I am getting to do fantastic things I would not have
:21:19. > :21:27.done otherwise. Meeting the Queen is indeed an honour, but 119 Fred
:21:27. > :21:33.is prepared for. I'll be really excited and I am wearing a parade

:22:35. > :22:40.somebody will e manners! -- e-mail us. I have been there today and it
:22:40. > :22:47.was pouring with rain. I hope on Thursday it will be better. I think

:22:53. > :23:03.burning a hole in your pocket, what would you like to splash your cash
:23:03. > :23:07.on? Well, how about this. It's an original recording by a
:23:08. > :23:12.famous artist lovingly preserved on a fan's cassette tape. It went
:23:12. > :23:17.under the hammer at auction in Leeds this afternoon. Well you're
:23:17. > :23:27.going to need "a little patience!" but Tom Ingall went along to see if

:23:38. > :23:45.it away. Actually, this is his best look. And not too long before he
:23:45. > :23:53.posed for this picture, he gave his number-one fan these tapes, full of
:23:53. > :23:59.original songs. Could it be magic? Patience! Let's find out.

:24:51. > :24:59.So it is of this Diarmaid Japan. The quality is not that great,
:24:59. > :25:06.there's a lot of his and noise. that is just the music! We do spend
:25:06. > :25:12.�800 for a tape by Gary Barlow? I haven't got that money! We don't
:25:12. > :25:22.know who the buyer was. Perhaps it was Gary himself. If so, now he has
