Good evening and welcome to Friday's edition of Look North. On the | :00:04. | :00:08. | |
programme tonight: The brother of a boy who was left dead in his cot for | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
two years tells a court of the squalid conditions at the family's | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Bradford home. Also tonight. An airline pilot | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
pleads guilty to being drunk just before flying an airbus from Leeds | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
Bradford Airport to Pakistan. Final farewells to a little boy from | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
York who campaigned for more of us to sign the organ donor register. He | :00:29. | :00:38. | |
was just extremely strong and extremely brave. I am just really | :00:38. | :00:47. | |
proud to say that I was his mum. And beauty is in the eye of the | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
beholder. Why this concrete electricity substation in Sheffield | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
is now a listed building. A largely settled story | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
weekend, with temperatures on the rise, I am back later. | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
Good evening and welcome to the programme. The brother of a | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
four—year—old boy whose body was found in his mother's bedroom almost | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
two years after his death has been giving evidence at Bradford Crown | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
Court. Qaiser Kahn said his brother, Hamzah, appeared to have been small, | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
neglected and living in filthy conditions, when he visited him. | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
His mother, 43—year—old Amanda Hutton, denies manslaughter by gross | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
negligence of her son. Our crime correspondent, John Cundy, reports | :01:33. | :01:41. | |
on the third day of the trial. At court today, the father of the | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
boy who died was accompanied by his son, Qaiser, who gave evidence. | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
Evidence of the conditions Qaiser said he saw his little brother | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
Hamzah living in months before his death. He said Micro to appeared | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
neglected, he slept upright in his buggy... | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
At first, Qaiser had refused to answer questions but later he said | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
he had seen his brother with a black eye. Qaiser told the court his | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
mother had seemed unable to cope. He said she had never worked and spent | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
most of her days in her bedroom drinking. Qaiser claimed the family | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
had gone downhill through his mother 's drinking before the death of | :02:30. | :02:38. | |
Hamzah in 2009. Amanda Hutton denies the manslaughter of Hamzah by gross | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
negligence. The prosecution say she had never got Hamzah medical | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
attention as he got malnourished. The boy 's father, a 45—year—old | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
taxi driver and engineer, had been violent towards Amanda Hutton during | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
their relationship before they split up, the court heard. But in a | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
statement to police, he denied hitting her, and described her as an | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
old college who destroyed his life. But later, he admitted unlawful | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
violence towards her. The defence is suggesting the death of Hamzah has | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
not been the fault of Amanda Hutton who remains on bail for her trial | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
which is expected to last up to five weeks. | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
Well, our correspondent, Ed Thomas, joins us from outside Bradford Crown | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
Court. Ed, the court also heard that the father of Hamzah had warned | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
police officers several times that they ought to be investigating his | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
wife over her treatment of Hamzah. That is right. Details of the | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
chaotic family life were revealed in court today. On one of those eight | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
police visits into —— in December 2008, the father was arrested for | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
hitting the mother of the child. But during his police interview, he said | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
two officers, you have to keep an eye on that woman, to check Hamzah, | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
check out undernourished and neglected he is. He also told | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
officers that his former partner was an alcoholic and she would not let | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
him take their child to go and see a doctor. He told the officers, I am | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
going to bring social services. But the court was told there is no | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
record of any call to social services. The court was told | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
officers from West Yorkshire Police did go to visit the family home but | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
there was no further action taken. What more did we hear about the | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
relationship between Qaiser and his mother? | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
Qaiser, the 22—year—old mother of Hamzah, came to the witness stand | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
today to give his evidence. He did say he had a dysfunctional | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
relationship with his mother and did not get on well with her and he has | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
run away from home. But he said in the months before his brother died, | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
he visited the family home and was extremely concerned with what he | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
saw. He said he text is his mother that night and said, watch out, I am | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
going to go to the police to report you for child neglect and abuse, | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
look at Hamzah. He said today he could not remember sending that | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
message. Under cross—examination, he was asked if he was exaggerating | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
because he had a bad relationship with his mother, he replied, I have | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
seen this with my own eyes. Amanda Hutton denies one count of | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
manslaughter. An airline pilot has pleaded guilty | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
to being drunk just before he was due to fly an airbus from Leeds | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
Bradford Airport to Pakistan. 54—year—old Irfan Faiz was detained | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
on Wednesday evening in the cockpit of a Pakistan International Airways | :05:36. | :05:44. | |
airbus. He was four times over the legal limit for flying and just over | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
the legal limit for driving. Danny Savage has sent us this report from | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
Leeds Magistrates' Court. It was on Wednesday evening that | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
54—year—old Irfan Faiz was due to be the captain of a Pakistan | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
International airlines flight from Leeds Bradford airport to Islamabad. | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
He was due to take off on Wednesday evening but airport managers spotted | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
he smelt of alcohol and he was unsteady on his feet. He was doing | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
his pre—flight checks when managers apprehended him. Police were called | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
and he was found to be well over the alcohol limit for flying an | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
aircraft. That limit is nine mg and he was found to be 41 mg. So well | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
over the legal limit to pilot an aircraft. The court was told there | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
was the potential for a plane to be followed by a drunken pilot. The | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
captain appeared before magistrates here today and pleaded guilty to the | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
charge he was facing of being well over the legal I'd call it —— | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
alcohol limit, and the magistrates said he had breached the trust of | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
the public and the consequence could have been a serious loss of life. He | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
was remanded in custody and will appear before Leeds Crown Court on | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
October the 18th. Later on Look North. A Look North | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
exclusive. Ed Miliband tells us Labour would scrap the controversial | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
spare room subsidy. The funeral has taken place this | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
afternoon of a seven—year—old boy from York who campaigned for people | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
to sign up to the organ donor register. Joel Malyon had a kidney | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
transplant at the age of three, and appeared on Look North last month, | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
promoting the British Transplant Games in Sheffield. | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
He had taken Part III times himself, but sadly died last week. Hundreds | :07:31. | :07:42. | |
turned out in York to celebrate his short life. | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
Kate Bradbrook reports. It was standing room only, a tribute | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
to a young boy who touched so many lives. Caring, sharing, laughing at | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
school, a popular little boy and friend. An inspiration to everyone. | :07:55. | :08:04. | |
He was born with kidney disease and at the age of three, Joel Malyon | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
received an organ from his mum, Holly. He took part in the | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
Transplant Games three times and spoke to us last month. He had hoped | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
to be involved in the event in Sheffield but was too unwell. | :08:17. | :08:25. | |
They are really important to people like me because if we lose donors, | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
that means people will not get kidneys and that is so upsetting. | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
That means people die. He passed away last week because of | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
a number of complications. Today, friends and family came together to | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
celebrate all he had achieved before his life was so cruelly cut short. | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
He had a charm about him which just drew people to him. He was very | :08:53. | :09:02. | |
caring. He had so many friends. Never had a bad word to say about | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
anybody. Money collected today will go to the | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
Leeds General infirmary where Joel was treated and the transplant team | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
who will help other youngsters take part in next year 's games. | :09:15. | :09:22. | |
Despite everything he went through, he would never dwell on it. He had | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
such a fighting spirit and he was just extremely strong and extremely | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
brave. I am just really, really proud to say that I was his mum. | :09:36. | :09:45. | |
In other news. Police in West Yorkshire say they are extremely | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
concerned for the welfare of a mother, after the body of a newborn | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
baby was found at a waste site in Shipley. The body of the baby boy, | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
who had a congenital heart condition, was found by staff | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
sorting rubbish at the waste site in Valley Road on Wednesday. | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
Pathologists cannot tell if the baby was stillborn or died soon after | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
birth. Police say the mother needs medical attention. | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
If she has delivered a baby, she has lost a child and I am concerned for | :10:13. | :10:20. | |
her welfare. I really want mum to come forward and seek medical | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
attention that she needs to ensure that she is safe. | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
Five—time World Heavyweight Champion Evander Holyfield has been in West | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Yorkshire today, lending support to a charity boxing match which will | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
help raise funds for a charity set up after a terrible accident on the | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
M62 earlier this year. The crash took the life of Beth Jones, who was | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
part of a 20—woman hen party from South Emsall travelling for a night | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
out in Liverpool. Some of the women who were injured that day were there | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
to meet Holyfield, as were locals taking part in the boxing event | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
tomorrow. It takes place at Frickley Athletic Football Club, and will | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
raise funds for the charity set up to help the injured women, Beth's | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
Angels. Something happens that everybody | :11:00. | :11:09. | |
showed their support for and I hope people see what you can bring to | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
overcome the situation. I am honoured to take the recognition I | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
got from boxing and use it to expose people to the problems that are | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
happening that we can all join in and help. | :11:22. | :11:30. | |
In an exclusive interview, the Doncaster MP and Labour Leader Ed | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
Miliband has told BBC Look North that Labour would abolish the | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
so—called "Bedroom Tax," or spare—room subsidy. | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
As part of welfare reforms, social tenants deemed to have more bedrooms | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
than they need have had their housing benefit reduced. But the | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
policy has proved very controversial with some tenants and it has led to | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
many facing the prospect of eviction. Well, Tim Iredale, the | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
presenter of Sunday Politics, joins us now. | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
this? Labour has been critical of this | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
policy for some time. They claim 80,000 housing benefit claimants are | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
affected in Yorkshire. More than half of those are disabled. But the | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
Labour leader has gone a step further and said if Labour get back | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
into power at the next election, they would scrap what the government | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
calls the spare room subsidy and what Labour called the bedroom tax. | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
It will help out —80,000 families across this region and will make a | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
real difference to those families. And others will think it is fair | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
because most people are disabled people, not working people, facing | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
eviction. The controversial Yorkshire MEP | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
Godfrey Bloom has hit the headlines again. What has he done now? | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
Controversial is the word. He has hit the headlines in the past | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
because he said women should clean behind the fridge and he said | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
recently that government aid was being sentenced to Bongo Bongo Land. | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
But today, at the conference in London, he told De she told a group | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
of women activists that they were sluts. De she told a group. He has | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
been suspended from the party, he has had the wit removed so he cannot | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
stand in the European Parliament for UKIP. Look at this footage. He was | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
embroiled in a row with a reporter who accused of being a racist. | :13:18. | :13:27. | |
You, sir, rate a racist! —— or a racist. You have checked the colour | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
of people 's faces, disgraceful! An interesting time in politics! | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
This week, we have been looking at research from the York—based Joseph | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
Rowntree Foundation who have found you are twice as likely to die | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
premature if you are all lonely. That is from 11pm —— 11am on BBC | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
One. Before seven o'clock: They did it! | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
Another giant leap towards Old Trafford, as Huddersfield thrash | :13:57. | :14:04. | |
Hull by 76 points to 18. And the Yorkshire wheelchair | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
basketball team hoping to net a National Diversity Award. | :14:07. | :14:18. | |
He is all right, we promise you. Now, earlier this year, there was a | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
huge outcry as it emerged the National Media Museum in Bradford | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
was in danger of closing. Well, the museum escaped closure, but its | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
future is still far from rosy, with falling visitor numbers and tired | :14:29. | :14:41. | |
exhibits. Today, one of its most influential collections has gone on | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
display in a brand new £4.5 million exhibition space, but that space is | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
in London. Our business correspondent, Danni Hewson, has | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
been finding out why the money has not been spent in Bradford. | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
It is an exhibition of international significance that has attracted | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
journalists from across Europe. Never before seen | :14:54. | :15:03. | |
captured 1960s written, a unique colour shoe from the archive of the | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
National Media Museum. —— collection. This shows the best of | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
what Bradford has to offer. But it is in London. And the money raised | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
to fund this space was only going to come to London. The money that came | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
here was particularly from people concerned that the museum, in order | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
to thrive and to be famous, needed a wandering showcase. So this is not | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
about raising money for Bradford, but a longer term investment in the | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
collections. It might be a bitter pill to swallow for campaigners who | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
fought to keep the museum opened in the summer, much was made of tired | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
exhibits and £4.5 million would have gone a long way to reversing that. | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
But millions have been spent in the last decade and today, it implied | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
shred admitted some of that money was admitted to —— Ian Blatchford. | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
We have made mistakes. We can either get depressed about the past or | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
realise we know enough about what works and strangely enough, when we | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
talked to major finance organisations, they do not look at | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
past mistakes as they can see the museum has enormous potential. Was | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
the museum really going to close? Yes, we would not have said anything | :16:25. | :16:33. | |
had it not been a real risk. So the gamble now is whether showing | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
the collection in London will really change its fortunes in Bradford. | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
Well, Paul is here with all the weekend's sport. | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
I am glad you noticed my suit! I have got a consolation for you. | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
In cricket, Yorkshire's County Championship title hopes went up in | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
smoke yesterday, of course. But they have at least secured the runners—up | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
spot, with victory today in the match against Middlesex on Day Four | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
at Headingley! Yorkshire added 64 to their overnight total and were | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
bowled out for a second innings 194. That set Middlesex a victory target | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
of 277. But Yorkshire skittled them for 196 to win by 80 runs. They have | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
still got one match to play at the Oval against Surrey next week. But | :17:14. | :17:23. | |
Yorkshire cannot be caught in second place behind Durham now. | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
Super League now, and the Huddersfield Giants are still alive! | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
With the pressure on last night, The Giants put on a real show for their | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
fans to beat Hull by a monster 76 points to 18, and qualify for next | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
weekend's elimination semis. We still don't know yet exactly who | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
they will be playing for a ticket to the Grand Final, but Huddersfield's | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
determination to get to Old Trafford at last was unmistakeable. | :17:43. | :17:50. | |
It did not take long to set the tone for the night. Giants bagged their | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
first try in their first set of six and in a merciless exposure of Hull | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
FC that looked ready for the holidays, the Giants kept going | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
forward, reaching 30 points the first 20 minutes. I be into | :18:01. | :18:09. | |
full, playmaker Luke Robinson had four tries to his name. —— by | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
half—time. I have not scored many this year, my | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
average is one in four and I only scored two this year. So to get my | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
average up a bit is nice. Knockout rugby and we have not good | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
at that in the past couple of years. Tonight showed we could have gone | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
home or carried on and we carried on. | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
Such a one—sided lay—off in what is supposed to be a showcase of the | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
best is perhaps not what the sport needs. At Huddersfield last night we | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
wrote the script for their rent of season. Dismissed by many after they | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
lost to Wigan last week, one more win will take Huddersfield to a | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
grand final. A welcome potential change. The last six grand finals | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
have featured just four chords and one of those, Leeds or Saint Helens, | :19:01. | :19:09. | |
will go off —— will go out tonight. Who do the Giants play next and | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
when? We do not know and we will not find out until Sunday. | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
It is club call, where Warrington this year will choose their | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
opponents in the next round of play—offs. If Warrington choose | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
Huddersfield, they will play in Warrington and if Warrington go for | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
the winner of tonight 's match, Huddersfield will play Wigan next | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
Friday. It is that simple, and Joy! —— enjoyed. A Leeds sports | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
organisation that brings and able—bodied athletes together | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
has been short listed for a national award. SpiderY coaches wheelchair | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
basketball and rugby league teams, and is run entirely by volunteers. | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
It has grown over six years to become one of the biggest and most | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
successful teams on the circuit, with a mix of disabled and | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
able—bodied players. Our reporter, Sally Young, went to one of their | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
training sessions. It is fast and fun and everyone can | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
have a go. Long before the London Paralympics work is up to the | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
excitement of disability sport, SpiderY were doing something | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
innovative, bringing able—bodied and disabled athletes together to play | :20:13. | :20:21. | |
as one team. These two met through SpiderY and now spent a lot of time | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
outside training together on a less athletic pursuit. For able—bodied | :20:24. | :20:31. | |
Sam, wheelchair basket will is an exciting team sport he can play | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
alongside more mainstream sports. I ended up in a chair one week. The | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
first time was difficult and I did not know what I was doing very much. | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
It was hard but I think there are so many people who help you out and I | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
make a lot of new friends, it is different to anything else I do. I | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
just enjoyed it, it is good fun. And for dating, being involved with | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
the spiders has brought wider benefits. —— vegan. I was not | :21:02. | :21:09. | |
involved in sports before and I started taking part in mosque warts | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
and my confidence has grown. The team also runs an education | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
programme in schools. It shows children who have not experienced | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
any body in a wheelchair and a lot of children at first do not want to | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
get in the chair and have a go and by the end of the day, they are | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
loving it. The club has a track record of | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
developing Paralympics. One of them is about to move to Spain to play | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
professionally. But whatever your ability, at SpiderY, a wheelchair | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
does not separate you out as different but is a great leveller | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
and it is what you can do for the team that counts. | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
Brilliant team, good luck. And good luck to SpiderY at the | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
National Diversity Awards tonight, they have been nominated for Best | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
Disability Community Organisation. And Leeds rhinos against Saint | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
Helens will have the pick of the tries later. | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
Now, when you think of listed buildings, churches, castles and | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
stately homes usually spring to mind. But would you expect to find a | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
huge concrete bunker that houses electrical equipment added to a list | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
of the country's most important heritage assets? | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
Well, that is exactly what has happened in Sheffield, with the | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
government today awarding a Grade two listing to the Moore Street | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
sub—station. That puts in on a level footing with Alhambra Theatre in | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
Bradford and Sheffield Cathedral. So our reporter, Spencer Stokes, has | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
been finding out if the uncompromising construction is loved | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
in the Steel City. Bold, genetic, scrupulously | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
finished, words used by English Heritage today to explain why they | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
have listed this electricity substation. But perhaps | :22:41. | :22:49. | |
the word as describing this building is the architectural category it | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
falls into, Bruton was. So shut brutal things be preserved? | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
It is listed, surely not because of the look? The concrete is not bad, | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
it had its era, so it should stay and represent that. I am surprised. | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
I do not think it is, I cannot see why it is historically significant. | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
The form of this building might not be that user—friendly at its | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
function is. Every day for the last 45 years, it has been converting | :23:23. | :23:30. | |
electricity from a massive 275,000 volts to a slightly less | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
intimidating 33,000. And the owners are proud of the new status. | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
It is a great acknowledgement of the building which has stood the test of | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
time since 1960s and is a Billy peace of architecture to enable us | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
to provide electricity to the city of Sheffield. We had to make it | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
strong enough to enable us to carry the weight of the equipment but it | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
is aesthetically designed and is beautiful for a lot of reasons. | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
So you think it is beautiful? Yes, it has stood the test of time. | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
The architect was grateful his concrete creation was still | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
standing. I have reached a stage in life where | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
things happen to are not as permanent as you think | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
and some of my friends have had good buildings demolished and it is sad | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
for them and I feel very lucky. Brutal, beautiful, or both, this | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
building put the brakes on electricity and generates debate. | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
And if you do not like it during the day, wait until sunset. | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
I think it is gorgeous! Stark and bold. I fancy living somewhere like | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
that. No windows! Let's talk about babies now, and | :24:47. | :24:56. | |
Lisa! A lot of people have asked. Yes, we have a picture. Don't they | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
look lovely? Lily Rose, born on Wednesday night. Very little, like | :25:01. | :25:10. | |
her mother. Ten oz.. And she was early, like her mum! —— £5 and ten | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
ounces. Plenty of dry weather this weekend | :25:15. | :25:25. | |
and temperatures on the rise. Not wall—to—wall sunshine but there will | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
be some around. A lot of dry weather tomorrow and quite a lot of cloud | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
through the morning. Through the afternoon, it will write an up and | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
the best part of tomorrow will be tomorrow evening. Pressure will | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
build and you can see how it is building from the continent. It will | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
probably stay until the middle of next week. Temperatures over the | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
weekend around 19, 20 degrees. Above average for the time of year. Three | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
today, we had sunshine, a lot of cloud from the West. —— through | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
today. Further bright sunny spells and it felt milder than yesterday. | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
It will stay settled through this evening and overnight. Variable | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
cloud and some breaks in places. Some patchy mist and fog will | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
develop, temperatures in double figures. Ten, 11 degrees. Around | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
seven, eight in the countryside. The sun will rise at 6:49am and it was | :26:25. | :26:38. | |
set at 7:10pm. —— it will set. Tomorrow morning will start off with | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
patchy mist and fog in places and quite a lot of cloud. That will lift | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
by nine o'clock, ten o'clock, there could be drizzle. Generally, a dry | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
story and it will write an up through the day. Later in the day, | :26:53. | :27:00. | |
there should be decent sunshine, so pleasant by tomorrow evening. | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
Temperatures on the rise through the next couple of days. 17, 18 degrees. | :27:03. | :27:12. | |
18 degrees in Sheffield. Further ahead through Sunday, Monday and | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
Tuesday. Sunday, we start with patchy mist and fog and quite a bit | :27:17. | :27:18. | |
of cloud but it will brighten up. repeat performance for Monday, | :27:18. | :27:26. | |
cloudy start, it will write an up through the day. More cloud on | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
Tuesday and perhaps rain or drizzle. Not too bad a week. Think about | :27:32. | :27:38. | |
Lisa, nothing prepares you for those night feeds and early mornings! We | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
know it well! Good evening. | :27:42. | :27:47. |
