06/04/2012 Look North (Yorkshire)

Her local a good evening from Look North. A man from Worksop who is

serving a life sentence in the USA for killing his wife and baby is

appealing against his conviction. Neil Entwistle was jailed for

shooting his American wife Rachel and their nine-month-old daughter

Lillian in Massachusetts in 2006. His lawyer appeared in court today,

requesting a new trial. Neill -- Neil Entwistle has always

denied murder but in 2080 was jailed for life for shooting dead

his wife and baby -- in 2008. Prosecutors used his own statements

to paint a picture of a cold- blooded killer. I didn't even call

9/11 and call for help. Entwhistle grew up in Worksop. He moved to the

USA into us and and five with his wife, Rachel, and daughter, Lily

and. -- in 2005. Just six months later they were dead. Neil

Entwistle claimed he found their bodies cuddled together in bed. His

wife had been shot in the head. The baby, in the stomach. This

afternoon his lawyer appeared in court to request a new trial

arguing that the original jury was biased and the evidence unlawful.

It will be several weeks before a decision is made.

Detectives in Leeds have arrested a 61-year-old man on suspicion of

murder. Police say they found the body of a woman in her fifties when

they were called to a flat in Harehills area shortly after 1pm.

The man was arrested at the scene and remains in custody.

The three proposed bin strikes in Sheffield have been called off for

now. The GMB union says it is suspending any action while voters

are -- well members vote again on an improved pay offer from their

employers, Veolia. The union will recommend the new deal is accepted.

What restrictions have begun in some parts of north Nottinghamshire.

People living in areas of the county which get their supplies

from Anglian Water are under a hosepipe ban which could last all

summer. Two unusually dry winters have left reservoirs and rivers

below normal levels. Now sport. It is a crucial weekend

for the Bradford Bulls. The Super League side have to find have a

million pounds but tonight to stave off administration. -- half-a-

million pounds. They are due to kick-off against Leeds rials. Tanya

Ranald is that Odsal. Where are they with the fund-raising? As I

came in and met the media manager who said they were around �380,000

to going into tonight's game. There is bucket collections, there has

been stuff going on here and they are hoping for a crowd of 20,000 or

more, which could raise them up to �100,000. There was a huge auction

held here last night with incredible memorabilia, some of it

given by the opposition. Tonight, the Rhinos' coach and Julie Peacock,

they auctioned off grand final winning shirts and rings. That

auction raised about �28,000. We will know at 11:30am tomorrow

exactly where they are at in trying to come up with half a million

pounds, which will buy them ten-12 weeks as they try to stave off

administration. Some amazing support there. What did the fans

make of all this? I have to say there are mixed feelings. They have

been rallied around incredibly, the whole of the Rugby League World has,

it hasn't just been the Bulls fans. They are some more -- some would be

well this as to how they have got here but they can't -- but they are

confident they can get out of it. am gutted, I have been coming since

I was 12 and I'm now 29. But his heart wrenching, this club has been

around so long and you do not know what is going to happen. It could

go either way. What is going to happen in the future if we get the

money? How far do we go? Where do we go from here? The future, it is

grim. All I can think is that they should go into administration and

get it sorted and pick-up from there. Well, we shouldn't forget

the is quite a big match here as Bradford take on Leeds. Both trying

to get back to winning ways. They may have been a lot of sentiment

running up to the match as everybody had -- tried to help each

other but once they cross the white line that will be put to one side.

Tanya Arnold, thank you very much. We will have the result of our late

bulletin. Huddersfield stayed top of Super League, they beat them 36-

ten for stopping cricket has been a difficult baby Yorkshire. One day

two of their match the home side trail Kent by 505 runs. Football,

some of our teams have been in league action today. The early

kick-off sort Leeds travel to promotion-chasing Reading.

His Shamir Masri. Leeds manager Neil Warnock had already said he

would be gobsmacked if his team made the play-offs and he won't

have changed his opinion. Zac Thompson saw red after just 12

minutes. United did frustrate Reading and could have taken the

lead. Ross McCormack and Robert Snodgrass came close. It was

Reading and former Rotherham striker Adam Le Fondre who would

find the net twice and inflict a second successive defeat for Leeds.

Meanwhile Barnsley welcomed West Ham, who showed their strong away

form early on as Nolan put the visitors ahead. It got worse for

the Reds. Maynard double-dip and Noble got West Ham's said before

half-time -- doubled it. Vaz Te made it four and attended 4-0. In

League Two, Bradford needed a win against Southend to distance

themselves from a possible Football League Dexit. James Hanson eased

the Bantams' nerves after heading the opening goal at Bradford scored

their second from the spot to make it 2-0 and move a step closer to

lead to safety. Dashed lead to safety. Rotherham

beat Wimbledon 2-1. Now the weather. How is it looking? Saturday will be

We have seen rain, tomorrow is looking drive. Early this afternoon

we have had patchy light rain and drizzle pushing down from the north.

That is going to continue as we head through this evening and

overnight, so cloud remains that enough to give further spots of

rain and drizzle. The wind will be moderate from the north and

temperatures by the end of the night will have dropped down to

around two to five Celsius. It may be a cloudy, drizzly start to the

day tomorrow. The cloud will then come we will see it brightening up.

Sunny spells developing towards the coast. These will extend westwards

as we go through the day. The Pennines stay cloudy. It is going

to feel cold tomorrow. Temperatures around seven or eight Celsius, but

there will be some sunshine at times on Saturday. Easter Sunday is
