:00:57. > :01:01.Good evening. Three arrests have been made in Sheffield by police

:01:01. > :01:05.investigating the naming on the social media site Twitter of the

:01:05. > :01:09.woman raped by Blades footballer Ched Evans. The player, who scored

:01:09. > :01:14.more than thought two goals this season, was jailed last Friday for

:01:14. > :01:18.five years after being found guilty of the rape in North Wales. The 23-

:01:18. > :01:28.year-old has launched an appeal. Our correspondent is in Sheffield

:01:28. > :01:33.where it is believed today, arrests have been made. What has happened?

:01:33. > :01:38.Ched Evans was jailed last Friday. He had been charged, along with a

:01:38. > :01:44.Port Vale player, they were both charged with rape. The other player

:01:44. > :01:49.was cleared. They said they had sex with the girl but it was with her

:01:49. > :01:56.consent. The prosecution says she was so drunk she was not in a

:01:56. > :02:00.position to have give consent -- have given consent. Ched Evans was

:02:00. > :02:05.jailed. Offending messages started appearing on Twitter and some are

:02:05. > :02:11.named the victim. What about today's arrests? Three people are

:02:11. > :02:15.being held at police stations in Sheffield. Two of them are under

:02:15. > :02:20.section 5 of the sexual offences Act, won her on a suspicion of

:02:20. > :02:24.malicious communication. Police are questioning the men. They say the

:02:24. > :02:29.comments are disturbing and they are contributing to the 20-year-

:02:29. > :02:35.old's continuing trauma. What are the consequences of any one Navy

:02:35. > :02:41.the rape victim on Twitter or anywhere else? -- naming the rape

:02:41. > :02:45.victim. All victims have the legal right to an anonymity. They can

:02:45. > :02:50.wait that. To breach that deliberately his contempt of court.

:02:50. > :02:55.It is a criminal attempt -- offence. A grieving family say they have

:02:55. > :02:59.made a major step forward today in their quest for justice for their

:02:59. > :03:03.dead son who died on holiday in Greece. 17-year-old Matthew Cryer

:03:03. > :03:07.died in Zante after a night out with his friends. The Greek

:03:07. > :03:11.authorities blamed it on excess alcohol but his family say he was

:03:11. > :03:15.pushed downstairs by door staff at a nightclub. David Cameron has

:03:15. > :03:21.intervened and today his parents travelled to Westminster for in the

:03:21. > :03:26.hope of putting pressure on Greece to thoroughly investigate. A letter

:03:26. > :03:34.to David Cameron does not often get a quick and personal response. This

:03:34. > :03:43.woman wrote to tell him about her son that's death. He has lost his

:03:43. > :03:48.son. He knows how we feel. He realises our situation. We are

:03:48. > :03:53.sorry about that. We were trying get back to that later. Coming up:

:03:53. > :04:00.It is all in the genes. The latest Yorkshire Olympic hopeful is one in

:04:01. > :04:04.a long line of hot shots in her family. With just a week to go

:04:04. > :04:08.until voters in four Yorkshire cities get to decide whether they

:04:08. > :04:13.want an elected mayor, there is a row about how the referendum has

:04:13. > :04:18.been worded. No campaigners say the question is skewed in favour of a

:04:18. > :04:22.yes vote. If they want more time for the arguments to be heard.

:04:22. > :04:28.It is the question that will face thousands of voters at polling

:04:28. > :04:33.stations next week. Two choices which will decide if there is an

:04:33. > :04:38.elected mayor. The issue has been contentious and now the question is

:04:38. > :04:42.causing controversy. The premise of the question implies the present

:04:42. > :04:47.situation is inherently undemocratic, in that the leader of

:04:47. > :04:51.council is not directly elected by it individual voters. Actually, the

:04:51. > :04:58.ironic thing is, by choosing an elected mayor, you could actually

:04:58. > :05:01.have a situation where the leader of the council is less accountable.

:05:01. > :05:05.This councillor is a Liberal Democrat. A Nick Clegg was in

:05:05. > :05:11.Bradford this afternoon to meet apprentices at Morrisons. After

:05:11. > :05:15.getting his hands on the dough, I asked him what he thought of his

:05:15. > :05:20.fellow Lib Dem's comments. I think the question has been set

:05:21. > :05:24.objectively and looked at like all referendum questions by a the

:05:24. > :05:29.electoral authorities. On my own view is that the wording of the

:05:29. > :05:33.question is not really going to push people in one direction or the

:05:34. > :05:38.other. If we are talking questions, the big one is if a voters do say

:05:38. > :05:42.yes, what difference will that make? They will have more power

:05:42. > :05:46.than the current leaders because any policies they put forward can

:05:46. > :05:50.only be stopped if two-thirds of the council disagreed. The biggest

:05:50. > :05:54.differences will be the way they are elected and the fact they

:05:54. > :05:57.cannot be removed until the end of the four year term. They could get

:05:58. > :06:03.more powers further down the line. Not knowing exactly what those

:06:03. > :06:09.could be is troubling the current leader of Wakefield Council.

:06:09. > :06:15.think it is Alice in Wonderland politics. Only after people vote

:06:15. > :06:19.will people be told what powers the person will have. The Minister for

:06:19. > :06:23.cities to have has been touring the cities says he is wrong. It could

:06:23. > :06:29.not be clearer. It is the power was the council has an these are

:06:29. > :06:35.substantial powers, these are budgets over �1 billion a year,

:06:35. > :06:41.more than a lot of government departments. If we get a yes vote

:06:41. > :06:45.in any of the cities, the vote will take place in November.

:06:45. > :06:51.For information about the campaigns for an elected mayor and details of

:06:51. > :06:58.the candidates standing, you can go online. We have a big debate on the

:06:58. > :07:02.whole issue on Tuesday. Police have released details of a man they want

:07:02. > :07:06.to speak to in connection with the murder of a woman in Whitby. 35-

:07:06. > :07:10.year-old James Allen is known to police in the area. 50-year-old

:07:10. > :07:14.Julie Davison was found at a flat in the town yesterday with head

:07:14. > :07:21.injuries. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Mr Allen is wanted in

:07:21. > :07:27.connection with the death of a man from the sobs rough. There has been

:07:27. > :07:33.inquiries about a man on a bike. -- Middlesbrough. We are appealing for

:07:33. > :07:38.him to come forward or anybody who knows him to contact us and give us

:07:38. > :07:45.his details. We need to speak to him. We want to eliminate him from

:07:45. > :07:49.our inquiries. Then I residents in Bradford who had to leave their

:07:49. > :07:54.homes overnight because of the threat of an explosion at are

:07:54. > :07:58.starting to return home. Last night, an exclusion zone was set up around

:07:58. > :08:01.the building which contained gas cylinders. There were long

:08:01. > :08:05.tailbacks in the city and fire investigators are looking into

:08:05. > :08:11.whether vandals may have started the fire. We all remember these

:08:11. > :08:15.scenes from a couple of years ago. Another 24 hours of torrential rain

:08:15. > :08:20.has prompted alerts of flooding across the region. An official

:08:20. > :08:26.warning is in place on the River Ouse at Naburn Lock in York. One

:08:26. > :08:29.also exists for the River Doe Lea at Bolsover and Netherthorpe in

:08:29. > :08:33.north-east Derbyshire. That is just 20 miles from Retford which is

:08:33. > :08:38.supplied by Anglican Water at who have a hosepipe ban due to the

:08:38. > :08:42.recent drought in eastern England. Confusing! There are a number of

:08:42. > :08:52.flood alerts in the region. This is a lesser threat but people should

:08:52. > :08:52.

:08:52. > :08:56.be aware am prepared. -- and prepared. This is the River Doe Lea

:08:56. > :09:00.flowing fast through the North Derbyshire. It is swollen after

:09:00. > :09:04.days of torrential rain and people nearby have been warned of possible

:09:04. > :09:10.flooding. It runs past the local cricket field and that has become a

:09:10. > :09:16.victim of heavy April showers. is about one week's rain. Last

:09:16. > :09:21.weekend, we had a lot. It was not as bad as this. Over the last 48

:09:21. > :09:26.hours, it has been torrential. It is a bit of a disaster. We shall

:09:26. > :09:35.not be playing this weekend. Probably next weekend as well. The

:09:35. > :09:45.flooding has not been as bad as it was back in 2007. I was pumping the

:09:45. > :09:46.

:09:46. > :09:51.water out. I had a mob. There were dead worms. Along the road at this

:09:51. > :09:56.village, they are no strangers to flooding. Whenever it rains, they

:09:56. > :10:02.pray their homes will not be affected. I would not like to put

:10:02. > :10:07.any kids in that water. What can we do? There is a pumping station up

:10:07. > :10:11.the road. We are not getting sewage in the water like we used to. But

:10:11. > :10:16.we are still flooded. If you're wondering why there are these flash

:10:16. > :10:20.floods. Look at the weather. Planes are landing here every few minutes

:10:20. > :10:27.but that has had to stop today because it is so wet. Just look at

:10:27. > :10:31.the back of my legs. It is terrible. We are not fly in. It is

:10:31. > :10:36.waterlogged. Normally, there would be flying lessons all day long. The

:10:36. > :10:41.sun would be shining. But we are bogged down with wet grass and mud.

:10:41. > :10:50.If these downpours continued, these planes will remain well and truly

:10:50. > :10:56.grounded. Everyone here is hoping for sunshine soon.

:10:56. > :11:05.We are fed up of it. How bad is it? Are we just whingeing? We have come

:11:05. > :11:12.off the bat of a long period of dry weather. We have had a lot of rain.

:11:12. > :11:17.They had 120 mm of rain in Sheffield. It is over two months of

:11:17. > :11:23.rain. That is still not breaking records. The record was set in

:11:23. > :11:30.2,000. Eastern areas look set to have their wettest April on record.

:11:30. > :11:34.The question is, more to come? Will there be a change? I think early

:11:34. > :11:38.May is looking more promising. In the short term, a lot more rain

:11:38. > :11:46.tonight. There is a warning in place. Summer thunderstorms. There

:11:46. > :11:50.could be flooding. On Friday, are a slight improvement. I have

:11:50. > :11:57.conflicting reports. Some say you will not penetrate the dry

:11:57. > :12:02.conditions. Others say, it is fine. Which is it? Eastern parts of

:12:02. > :12:08.Yorkshire, parts of which are in drought orders, Yorkshire Water say

:12:08. > :12:13.the rain has started to have a positive impact. Warhols were 20%

:12:13. > :12:20.depleted and are now 15% depleted. A long way to go into right-eyed

:12:20. > :12:27.areas but this rain is starting to have an impact. -- tried areas.

:12:27. > :12:37.Reservoirs are up to 96% capacity. We can say, no more rain, banks?

:12:37. > :12:44.Yes. Thank you. We will hold on to the good news it will be good in

:12:44. > :12:53.the beginning of May. It looks better. Not the same as glorious!

:12:53. > :12:56.Reports of flooding have led to delays. Trains on the Airedale line

:12:56. > :13:04.have been affected. Network Rail says it is hopeful services will

:13:04. > :13:08.start running again soon. The River Don has burst its banks. We are

:13:08. > :13:13.back to the story we lost earlier. There has been a major step forward

:13:13. > :13:18.in the quest for justice for a did son who died in Greece. 17-year-old

:13:18. > :13:22.Matthew Cryer died in Zante. The Greek authorities blamed it on

:13:22. > :13:26.alcohol but family say he was pushed downstairs. David Cameron

:13:26. > :13:32.has intervened and his parents travelled to Westminster in the

:13:32. > :13:37.hope of putting pressure on Greece to investigate. A letter to David

:13:37. > :13:42.Cameron does not often get a personal response. This woman wrote

:13:42. > :13:48.to him to tell him about her son's death. He realised how it felt to

:13:48. > :13:54.leave a child -- to lose a child. He has lost a child. They realise

:13:54. > :13:58.the situation we were in. result of that communication was

:13:59. > :14:04.today's meeting with the Minister for Europe. Supported by a their

:14:04. > :14:10.local MP, the family sat down to press for action. If he was very

:14:10. > :14:17.good. He said to us he is going to get the ambassador to Greece to

:14:17. > :14:21.write a letter to the Greek authorities and that Greek justice

:14:21. > :14:25.of authority. He is going to mention the British government are

:14:25. > :14:30.interested in this case and David Cameron is aware and he is

:14:30. > :14:34.interested. That, for me, is a positive step. If this happened to

:14:34. > :14:38.a Greek boy in Sheffield, the police would deal with it in a

:14:38. > :14:41.certain way. We won the Greeks authorities to do the same. This

:14:41. > :14:46.direct involvement from David Cameron and the Foreign Office may

:14:46. > :14:50.be the catalyst the family need. It has been nearly four years since

:14:50. > :14:55.Matthew Cryer died during his first holiday abroad with friends. He

:14:55. > :14:59.went to the island of Zante in 2008. He died after head injuries outside

:14:59. > :15:05.a nightclub. The authorities initially claimed his death was a

:15:05. > :15:09.result of heavy drinking. If in 2009, at a UK coroner was critical

:15:09. > :15:17.of the investigation. He concluded Matthew was unlawfully killed.

:15:17. > :15:22.Family and friends have complained ever since. The case is now being

:15:22. > :15:27.reinvestigated but making slow progress. In a way, it feels we

:15:27. > :15:32.have to keep fighting, not to clear his name, but to afford him what he

:15:32. > :15:37.should have. To treat him as a human being and make his life

:15:37. > :15:41.matter. The campaign continues with David crier flying out to the Zante

:15:41. > :15:51.soon to give more evidence. At the family say they will keep the

:15:51. > :15:56.

:15:56. > :16:06.pressure on until the truth is out The latest Yorkshire athlete picked

:16:06. > :16:06.

:16:06. > :16:13.for Team GB is Amy. There are six champions in her family.

:16:13. > :16:20.Precision, strength and patience. All the ingredients required for

:16:20. > :16:27.perfection over and over again. Amy Oliver trains for up to six hours a

:16:27. > :16:32.day, shooting as many as 200 arrows. But it's worth it, because she's

:16:32. > :16:39.just been picked for the Olympic team. I think it's going to be

:16:40. > :16:45.fantastic. I can't wait. It hasn't sunk in yet. I hope it does!

:16:45. > :16:50.had her first archery lesson aged seven, but it was eight years ago

:16:50. > :16:54.that he cool head and skill with a bow began to set her apart. She

:16:54. > :17:00.became British champion in 2007 and helped the British team win silver

:17:00. > :17:03.at the Commonwealth Games two years ago. Archery is in Amy's bloods.

:17:03. > :17:08.Her parents met through the sport, so you could say she wouldn't be

:17:08. > :17:11.here without it. But it goes back further than that to her

:17:11. > :17:19.grandparents, who were both national champions. They can't wait

:17:19. > :17:28.to see Amy compete at the Olympics. We are thrilled to death. Really.

:17:28. > :17:34.We were proud of her. It is another milestone really. We were waiting

:17:34. > :17:38.for it to happen. My family are very proud of me for getting this

:17:38. > :17:44.far. Even just winning the European Championships in 2007, they were

:17:44. > :17:48.proud then, so I can't imagine what they'll be like now with me getting

:17:48. > :17:52.on the Olympic team. But for now it is back to practising, with the

:17:52. > :18:02.expectation and hopes not only of Britain but of her grandparents as

:18:02. > :18:02.

:18:02. > :18:06.well. Good luck to her. Rotherham cyclist

:18:06. > :18:10.Ben Swift will not be part of the Great Britain team pursuit on the

:18:10. > :18:14.track to the London Olympics. He came home to a celebration, having

:18:14. > :18:20.won a gold and two silvers at the recent World Championships in

:18:20. > :18:25.Australia. But he's decided to move from track cycling and will try to

:18:25. > :18:28.win a medal on the road. He will challenge for a chase on the five-

:18:28. > :18:33.man Great Britain team on the opening weekend.

:18:33. > :18:43.It is hard to believe with the rain we've had heard today but they've

:18:43. > :18:44.

:18:44. > :18:53.been playing cricket in Kent. Gary Ballance top scored with 38.

:18:53. > :18:56.Kent scored four runs in their one over before the close of play. 30

:18:56. > :19:06.years on, the last Vulcan bomber re-enacts a mission during the

:19:06. > :19:07.

:19:07. > :19:12.Falkands War in the skies of South Yorkshire. Today veterans and

:19:12. > :19:16.enthusiasts gathered to mark the anniversary of the event. The

:19:16. > :19:20.Vulcan bomber on show today to remember a remarkable mission. 30

:19:20. > :19:26.years ago it was just months from being scrapped when the Falklands

:19:26. > :19:30.war brought a new lease of life. It was to fly to the Falklands and

:19:30. > :19:34.bomb the runway at Port Stanley so it couldn't be used by Argentine

:19:34. > :19:40.jets. It would be the longest bombing raid in history. Suddenly

:19:40. > :19:47.to be called up to drop conventional bombs on a

:19:47. > :19:52.sophisticated modern enemy on a big, slow plane, we didn't think we

:19:52. > :19:57.would be able to do it. But they did. The planes were upgraded and

:19:57. > :20:01.the crews trained. The first thing we realised was the Air Force

:20:01. > :20:06.hadn't been to the Falklands and there were no maps of how to get

:20:06. > :20:11.there. They used an air base on ascension island on the staging

:20:11. > :20:15.post, but the distance was still beyond the Vulcan's range, so 11

:20:15. > :20:19.tanker planes were needed to refuel it in the air. There was a crew of

:20:19. > :20:25.five in that cramped cock pitch. It's a journey of 8,000 miles to

:20:25. > :20:30.the Falklands and back. It was a 16-hour round trip. I wasn't aware

:20:30. > :20:33.of feeling particularly tired, because it was all new and quite

:20:33. > :20:37.exciting. It wasn't until he had all gone and suddenly we were on

:20:37. > :20:43.our own that the true realisation came that we were going in to

:20:43. > :20:50.attack an airfield, which we had never done before, and we were

:20:50. > :20:55.starting off the war, if you like. And they started on the front foot.

:20:55. > :21:01.They made it to Port Stanley, dropping their bombs and hitting

:21:01. > :21:05.the runway. The airport buildings were skeletons blown apart...

:21:05. > :21:08.was an incredible achievement and it made it more difficult for the

:21:08. > :21:12.Argentine jets to attack the British ships heading for the

:21:13. > :21:17.Falklands. Today there's just one Vulcan left flying. The mission has

:21:17. > :21:21.changed, but the same crew is still at the controls. When you hear it,

:21:21. > :21:25.it is that particular howl that gets to people. It's a unique sound

:21:25. > :21:29.that only this aeroplane does. To hear that is what generations all

:21:29. > :21:34.to be able to hear in future. Keeping it flying costs millions

:21:34. > :21:44.every year. Today's test flight means thousands more can enjoy that

:21:44. > :21:47.

:21:47. > :21:53.unique sound at airshows this summer. Did you remember the story

:21:53. > :21:57.we brought you last year about the traumatised penguins on

:21:57. > :22:04.antidepressants at Scarborough sea life centre? They had been the

:22:04. > :22:08.victim of a series of break-ins and even an abduction attempt. They

:22:08. > :22:12.stopped feeding and breeding, but they've made a full recovery and

:22:12. > :22:16.several pairs have produced eggs. Fantastic news for the centre.

:22:16. > :22:22.It may look like the penguins here at the Scarborough sea life centre

:22:22. > :22:25.are much the same as usual. But behind the scenes there are great

:22:25. > :22:31.expectations. Gathering nest material and some penguins not

:22:31. > :22:35.coming out of their burrows for days can mean only one thing - eggs.

:22:35. > :22:43.Four eggs have been laid by four different pairs. It is great news,

:22:43. > :22:48.as last year these Penge wince were on antidepressants after breakins

:22:48. > :22:52.left them traumatised. It is nice to be able to tell people that this

:22:52. > :22:57.year they are feeling happy and we know that because we've had eggs

:22:57. > :23:05.laid in the enclosure. Penge wince only lay eggs when they are happy

:23:05. > :23:15.enough to do so. We can't see the eggs, because the penguins -- weng

:23:15. > :23:15.

:23:15. > :23:22.pins only lay eggs when they are happy. This is Kev set on his egg.

:23:22. > :23:29.Who's a good boy. This is a replica of what Kev is sitting on. No-one

:23:29. > :23:34.knows if it is fertile until it hatches. But a couple of days ago

:23:34. > :23:39.another egg did hatch. The a baby is underneath. Staff don't know for

:23:39. > :23:44.certain there's a healthy chick here. My last hatched egg was five

:23:44. > :23:49.years ago, so it will be amazing if any of these eggs come through to

:23:49. > :23:57.adulthood. Hopefully in future we'll get babies out of it. Fingers

:23:57. > :24:01.crossed. Most of us only notice how cute these Penge wins are. --

:24:01. > :24:07.penguins are. Breeding in captivity is always a challenge. It is great

:24:07. > :24:13.that they are breeding again and are settled down. Everyone likes a

:24:13. > :24:19.little baby don't they. So the patter of tiny flippers could soon

:24:19. > :24:23.be heard here. So they both sit on the egg? True equality in the

:24:23. > :24:27.penguin world. Paul, you are a fan of true equality aren't new

:24:27. > :24:31.Absolutely. I think about it every day. I've got a link here. From a

:24:31. > :24:41.sad penguin to a miserable wet- looking cow. You will see what I

:24:41. > :24:45.mean. That's Eccup. It's been raining for 24 hours. This is the

:24:45. > :24:48.new Ulley reservoir overflow. In 2007 there were all sorts of

:24:48. > :24:52.problems but it is working well. The water is gushing down that

:24:52. > :24:57.overflow. overflow.

:24:57. > :25:03.Keep your pictures coming in. Let me show you the rainfall total to

:25:03. > :25:08.10 o'clock this morning. The interesting one is Pateley Bridge.

:25:08. > :25:14.They have had two thirds of the Monty rainfall in the last 30 hours.

:25:14. > :25:19.It is heartly surprising that there's a bit of localised

:25:19. > :25:24.floodling there. The showers became prolonged and

:25:24. > :25:29.heavy this afternoon. And they are going to sit there for the next 6-9

:25:29. > :25:34.hours. There could be another inch of rain in places. That's why the

:25:34. > :25:38.Met Office have a warning in place for tomorrow. A slow improvement.

:25:38. > :25:42.North and West Yorkshire may improve from the north. There'll be

:25:42. > :25:46.patchy rain around. All associated with that weak weather front.

:25:46. > :25:50.Hopefully it will be out of the way. Saturday should be the best day of

:25:50. > :25:54.the weekend before wet and windy weather returns on Sunday, with

:25:55. > :25:58.gales in coastal areas. The weather front is sitting across north and

:25:58. > :26:02.West Yorkshire, into south yofrpblgts it is not going to move

:26:02. > :26:06.very -- South Yorkshire. It is not going to move very quickly. Pushing

:26:06. > :26:12.down into the north Midlands. There'll be heavy rain, local

:26:12. > :26:19.thunder for good measure. There's a risk of localised flooding. A hint

:26:19. > :26:26.of an improvement the Yorkshire Dales. 5-6 Celsius. The sun will

:26:26. > :26:30.rise at 5. 38am. It is a grey, grotty start to the day. With

:26:30. > :26:34.outbreaks of rain and drizzle. But very slowly north and West

:26:34. > :26:39.Yorkshire clears up. A bit of brightness, a lot of cloud. Patchy

:26:39. > :26:42.rain never far from South Yorkshire. It might nudge into West Yorkshire

:26:42. > :26:46.but it does look as though parts of Yorkshire will see an improvement.

:26:46. > :26:52.A chillier day. The breeze in the north, which means temperatures

:26:52. > :26:57.won't be much higher than 9-10 Celsius, that's 50 Fahrenheit.

:26:57. > :27:00.Perhaps 11 across southern parts of South Yorkshire. A damp start to
