:00:13. > :00:21.Welcome to Thursday's Look North. Tonight, Jimmy Savile's great-niece
:00:21. > :00:25.speaks out. She says she was abused by him at the age of 15, as
:00:25. > :00:28.Scotland Yard look into the cases of 300 victims Also tonight: the
:00:28. > :00:31.price of a school uniform - the campaign to make it cheaper to
:00:31. > :00:38.dress your children for school. Royal remains - should King Richard
:00:38. > :00:48.III be buried in Leicester, York or Worksop? It has been a great day.
:00:48. > :00:49.
:00:49. > :00:52.Plenty of sunshine on the way, but Tonight, detectives say the number
:00:52. > :00:57.of potential victims abused by Jimmy Savile has increased from 200
:00:57. > :01:00.to almost 300. They also say they're investigating what they are
:01:00. > :01:03.describing as figures of high standing who may have assisted him.
:01:03. > :01:10.Savile's great niece was one of those who says she was sexually
:01:10. > :01:13.abused by the tv entertainer. She spoke to Look North in York this
:01:13. > :01:23.morning. Phil Bodmer's report does not contain any graphic language,
:01:23. > :01:24.
:01:24. > :01:32.but you may find some of it upsetting. The another day of
:01:32. > :01:37.damaging revelations in the Jimmy Savile sex scandal. This afternoon
:01:37. > :01:41.detectives were fields they are now following in excess of 400 lines of
:01:41. > :01:47.inquiry involving 300 victims. is quite staggering the number of
:01:47. > :01:51.people who have come forward. Primarily they are talking about
:01:52. > :01:56.Jimmy Saville, but there are three categories. There was Jimmy Saville
:01:56. > :02:04.on his own, which is the majority. Then we have allegations against
:02:04. > :02:10.Jimmy Saville and others, then a separate category of others. Today
:02:10. > :02:15.his great-niece told us that she was abused by him which she was
:02:16. > :02:22.just 12 years old. The more we spoke the quieter he got, meaning I
:02:22. > :02:27.had to lean into him. He started to run his hand up and down my back
:02:27. > :02:30.and are really soft way. Then he put his hand down my knickers.
:02:30. > :02:37.Scotland Yard have trebled the number of officers working on the
:02:37. > :02:41.case to 30. They have spoken to 130 victims and recorded 114
:02:41. > :02:45.allegations of abuse so far. Detectives say the weight of
:02:45. > :02:51.evidence against him is overwhelming. Caroline Robinson
:02:51. > :02:55.said he also abused her a few years later when she was 15. He was so
:02:55. > :02:59.strong I couldn't get out. He had me in such a position or I could
:02:59. > :03:09.not get out of where I was so why had to go with the flow. I had to
:03:09. > :03:13.do it. So some of what she called us to traffic to include. Who would
:03:13. > :03:21.have believed me? He would have believed that Jimmy Saville was
:03:21. > :03:26.this sort of monster? Nobody would. Tonight a solicitor acting on
:03:26. > :03:30.behalf of victims has launched the first claims against the run rate
:03:30. > :03:34.celebrities estate. Police are also now looking at further arrests
:03:34. > :03:42.following accusations at a number of high-profile figures could be
:03:42. > :03:45.involved. A Yorkshire MP is today warning
:03:45. > :03:48.that the high cost of school uniforms is selection by the back
:03:48. > :03:51.door. Mary Creagh has written to all the schools in her Wakefield
:03:51. > :03:55.constituency urging them to try and keep uniform costs down. Christa's
:03:55. > :04:02.been looking at the costs. So, how much do you pay for your
:04:02. > :04:05.child's school uniform? Research in Bradford shows the cost of a full
:04:05. > :04:08.uniform can be up to �100 or even more. School blazers are the
:04:08. > :04:15.dearest item - costing around �35. And then there are ties, shirts,
:04:15. > :04:18.jumpers, trousers, and PE kits - usually branded with a school logo.
:04:18. > :04:28.Well, now unions and charities are warning that many parents are
:04:28. > :04:33.struggling because of the high prices. Spencer Stokes reports. It
:04:33. > :04:40.seems the blazer is back. Parents are being told to go out and buy
:04:40. > :04:44.jackets for the children. Cadiz shops is 10 schools in the City
:04:44. > :04:51.have switched a blazers in recent years. It is that financial strain
:04:51. > :04:57.for some mums and dads. If they buy everything for them, it is a lot of
:04:57. > :05:03.money. What they decide, they buy one or two things every week.
:05:03. > :05:08.not just places making uniform costs rise. Many schools have
:05:08. > :05:11.rebranded, becoming colleges, community colleges or academies.
:05:11. > :05:18.When the main changes, it is often the case that the uniform changes
:05:18. > :05:28.as well. By be can't have his schools using uniform policy as a
:05:28. > :05:28.
:05:28. > :05:33.way of pricing some families out of choosing a particular school.
:05:33. > :05:39.December this school become the new academy, meaning a new uniform for
:05:39. > :05:45.400 pupils. They have try to do it as economic glee as possible. All
:05:45. > :05:49.uniform he will cost �35. We are found that if we chose a uniform
:05:49. > :05:53.that could be sourced from lots of different shops, and also places
:05:54. > :05:59.like ASDA and Tesco's, but that would bring down the costs for the
:05:59. > :06:09.parent. That approach has been welcomed by mums and dad,
:06:09. > :06:09.
:06:09. > :06:15.especially those of more than one child. You think I have got that
:06:15. > :06:18.hundred pounds for mum -- for him, then you have to go out and do it
:06:18. > :06:22.again. And the government is encouraging more schools to become
:06:22. > :06:29.academies so more changes are likely and that could mean more
:06:29. > :06:33.blazers on sale in shops. It's obviously a subject affecting many
:06:33. > :06:37.of you - we've had lots of reaction on our Facebook page. Here's just a
:06:37. > :06:39.few of your comments: Marianna Proietti says: It cost �360 for my
:06:39. > :06:43.two children in York. It's an absolute disgrace. �25 for a rugby
:06:43. > :06:50.shirt, �19 for a jumper and �23 for the school hoody. Prices are beyond
:06:50. > :06:53.ridiculous! Susan Kelly says: It's disgusting that schools insist on
:06:53. > :06:58.logo'd school wear and insist on initials embroidered on PE kits,
:06:58. > :07:01.which we have to pay extortionate prices for. Ellis Smith says: Due
:07:01. > :07:04.to the rise of supermarkets, items have dropped in cost and if the
:07:04. > :07:10.schools abandoned uniform, you'd still need to clothe your child and
:07:10. > :07:12.I suspect the latest fashions would cost a lot more money.
:07:12. > :07:16.Sam Goodwin offers this suggestion, she says her school, Abbey Lane:
:07:16. > :07:19.Has a secondhand sale every half term. Donated, outgrown or lost
:07:19. > :07:29.property that hasn't been claimed is sold and money raised is used
:07:29. > :07:31.
:07:31. > :07:36.for things in school. It's saved me a fortune! Yours was your school

:08:27. > :08:29.meeting with council officials over plans to make fitting CCTV cameras
:08:29. > :08:34.in their vehicles compulsory. The drivers would have to pay for the
:08:34. > :08:41.cameras themselves, and many say council says cameras in cars would

:15:01. > :15:05.might be able to work out -- make out in the gloom the 10th that is
