:00:00. > :00:08.Bradford Good evening and welcome to Wednesday's Look North. On the
:00:08. > :00:12.programme tonight — we're out with West Yorkshire Police tackling
:00:13. > :00:21.off—road nuisance motorbikers. Some of them are driving death traps.
:00:21. > :00:23.They are disturbing hundreds and hundreds of people with the
:00:23. > :00:29.ridiculous amount of noise they make. If you consider that the
:00:29. > :00:38.batteries have been taken out of the exhaust, they are making as much
:00:38. > :00:47.noise as an aircraft. Also tonight a scammer where a bus
:00:47. > :00:51.was deliberate the crashed to claim for injuries.
:00:51. > :00:54.Also tonight, And with the number of high—street shops dwindling, York's
:00:54. > :01:01.butchers go on a meat crusade. And there has been some brightness.
:01:01. > :01:07.Here at —— we should get some more brightness tomorrow. Join me later
:01:07. > :01:10.for the forecast. Tonight, police are warning that
:01:10. > :01:13.it's only a matter of time before someone is killed or seriously
:01:13. > :01:16.injured by off—road bikes being driven recklessly on footpaths and
:01:16. > :01:20.public roads. West Yorkshire Police say they receive up to 25 complaints
:01:20. > :01:26.a week about anti—social behaviour caused by trial and quad bikes. They
:01:26. > :01:31.say many of the vehicles are death traps, with drivers uninsured and
:01:31. > :01:34.under age, some as young as 12. Phil Bodmer has been given exclusive
:01:34. > :01:49.access to the West Yorkshire Police off—road bike team. He joins us now.
:01:49. > :01:52.Well, this is a golf club between Leeds and Bradford. It is popular
:01:52. > :01:56.with off—road motorcyclists and quad bikers because of its terrain. It is
:01:56. > :02:07.fairly quiet but that a headache with the revving of
:02:07. > :02:15.engines. Seven years ago, the belief that of a specialist union to deal
:02:15. > :02:20.with it. In 2006, they dealt with 1400 calls in north—west Leeds
:02:20. > :02:24.alone. By 2008, the number of complaints had been reduced by
:02:24. > :02:31.almost half. But there is a persistent problem. The latest
:02:31. > :02:40.figures show almost 500 calls to police with four months of the year
:02:40. > :02:45.still to come. Police motorcyclist follow an off—road bike being ridden
:02:45. > :02:53.at high speed on a street. The rider is not wearing a helmet and he is
:02:53. > :02:58.not keen on being stopped. The pursuit is then on. It lasts for
:02:58. > :03:02.over one mile. It is a typical example of the problem police face
:03:02. > :03:08.in dealing with anti—social behaviour caused by off—road is
:03:08. > :03:15.plaguing many neighbourhoods. Pull over! The rider is given stern
:03:15. > :03:19.advice and issued with a ticket. If he is caught again, the machine will
:03:19. > :03:23.be seized. A lot of the bikes we come across have no breaks. They are
:03:23. > :03:28.death traps. The majority of them will not be insured, he will not
:03:28. > :03:31.have a drivers license, he will be under age. With no licence and
:03:31. > :03:38.insurance, you fines and ultimately the bike could
:03:38. > :03:42.be seized as well. For communities blighted by this form of anti—social
:03:42. > :03:47.behaviour, it is not just a noise nuisance. There are real safety
:03:47. > :03:50.fears for the riders themselves. Somebody could be seriously injured
:03:50. > :03:53.and I don't think it will be long before it happens. They are not
:03:53. > :04:00.written well, they are ridden dangerously. They are ridden to
:04:00. > :04:07.quickly through the area and quite frequently they are written on side
:04:07. > :04:12.wheels, on two wheels. Two wheels of the floor. Police say that some
:04:12. > :04:18.riders are as young as 12 and catching suspects is not easy. They
:04:18. > :04:21.come face—to—face with two bikes coming the other way and narrowly
:04:21. > :04:29.avoided a face that a head—on collision. For Ron Woodhouse, it is
:04:29. > :04:34.not just young lives at risk, animals can be at risk. I have seen
:04:34. > :04:40.a horse staked out to graze within a circus —— within a circle and a quad
:04:40. > :04:46.bike coming within that circle and the halls dodging out of the way
:04:46. > :04:53.each time —— the halls dodging out of the wage time. Yorkshire police
:04:53. > :04:58.say that if drivers are caught behaving anti—socially they can
:04:58. > :05:03.expect to be prosecuted and face losing their vehicles.
:05:03. > :05:05.It is fairly quiet this evening and residents will be hoping it stays
:05:05. > :05:15.that way. This summer months because the winter
:05:15. > :05:18.nights draw in. Police say the number of complaints will diminish.
:05:18. > :05:22.But notwithstanding, they say they will continue to work with the local
:05:22. > :05:26.authority to combat this ongoing problem.
:05:26. > :05:29.Thanks Phil, well one of those responsible for tackling the problem
:05:29. > :05:32.is Sergeant Mo Gother from West Yorkshire Police. A little earlier
:05:32. > :05:39.we asked him what's being done to solve it. We can ensure that
:05:39. > :05:45.resources are specifically targeted to where we have a specific problem.
:05:45. > :05:49.We rely on the public to tell us where the problem is. If we don't
:05:49. > :05:53.know about it, we can't do anything. We need to do it —— we need to know
:05:53. > :05:59.where it's happening and we will target resources in the area. We can
:05:59. > :06:02.use the police helicopter in extreme circumstances. It is a question of
:06:02. > :06:08.needing intelligence in order to act. How typical was the behaviour
:06:08. > :06:18.we saw there, riding over pavement, no helmets, no breaks on the bikes.
:06:18. > :06:23.Unfortunately, a lot of the culprits for this type of offence are young
:06:23. > :06:29.children, as young as 12. Up to about 18 years. It is a dangerous
:06:29. > :06:34.problem. There is confusion surrounding the law. Where can these
:06:34. > :06:38.people ride illegally? The simple answer is nowhere other than private
:06:38. > :06:42.land. And on private land, there has to be permission from the landowner.
:06:42. > :06:51.If it is a farm, there has to be permission from the farmer. On parks
:06:51. > :07:02.—— on public lands, permission from the council. So absolutely not on
:07:02. > :07:07.the footpath or bridleways? There is a law prohibiting that. Still
:07:07. > :07:11.receiving hundreds of complaints every year although nothing like the
:07:11. > :07:17.peak in 2006. What sort of penalties can these riders face? They can be
:07:17. > :07:20.issued with fixed penalty tickets and have their vehicles seized.
:07:20. > :07:25.These vehicles can be destroyed. They can go to court, there are a
:07:25. > :07:27.number of options available to the police and law enforcement agencies.
:07:27. > :07:31.Thank you. A detective has described his shock
:07:31. > :07:34.at finding the mummified remains of a boy's body in his home in
:07:34. > :07:37.Bradford. Richard Dove told a jury he couldn't stop his hand shaking at
:07:37. > :07:40.the horrific discovery of four—year—old Hamzah Khan who'd lain
:07:41. > :07:43.dead in his cot for nearly two years. Hamzah's mother Amanda Hutton
:07:43. > :07:53.is denying the manslaughter of her son by gross negligence. John Cundy
:07:53. > :07:57.reports from Bradford Crown Court. Richard Dove was an experienced
:07:57. > :08:01.comfortable in West Yorkshire Police's child protection unit on
:08:01. > :08:07.the day when he was called to Amanda Hutton's house to investigate a
:08:07. > :08:11.report of possible child cruelty. He had been warned of the house was
:08:11. > :08:16.squalid, described as a tip. When he went upstairs, he was to make a
:08:16. > :08:24.shocking discovery. Richard Dove said that as he entered the master
:08:24. > :08:27.something was wrong. He described how he pulled back, —— pulled back
:08:27. > :08:34.piled up layers of bedding to reveal the head and face of a child. It was
:08:34. > :08:45.the mummified body of four—year—old Hamza Khan, he had been lying dead
:08:45. > :08:50.in a cot for nearly two years. Now it detective sergeant, he told the
:08:50. > :08:55.court, I was shocked. I ask myself, am I really seeing what I am
:08:55. > :08:59.saying? Amanda Hutton went through 20 police interviews before being
:08:59. > :09:03.charged. Detectives were told that she had had an abusive relationship
:09:03. > :09:09.with a long—term partner and Hamza's father. They had split up
:09:09. > :09:14.before his death. Amanda said that she did not know what to do when her
:09:14. > :09:18.son died. She put her son back in the cot and said that she was numb.
:09:18. > :09:23.She kept saying, I'll do something tomorrow. Every day it became harder
:09:23. > :09:28.and matters got out of hand as she began to drink heavily. The
:09:28. > :09:33.prosecution has alleged because —— that the boy died because he was
:09:33. > :09:37.starved by his mother. Amanda Hutton denies manslaughter and says her son
:09:37. > :09:41.died of a natural illness. Later on Look North, a blow for
:09:41. > :09:42.mums—to—be? York Hospital replaces traditional antenatal classes with
:09:42. > :09:55.online videos. Sheffield in order to get pay—out
:09:55. > :10:01.for injury have been convicted of conspiracy to defraud insurers. 26
:10:01. > :10:06.of the 33 passengers on the bus had been told by claims company to be on
:10:06. > :10:09.it so they could make claims. The bus driver Adam Herbert admitted
:10:09. > :10:15.agreeing to deliberately crash his bus into the back of a Vauxhall
:10:15. > :10:21.Zafira driven by Mohammed Gulzar. Gulzar ran the firm City Claims For
:10:21. > :10:24.You. The investigation found Herbert had switched off the onboard camera
:10:24. > :10:29.on his bus moments before the crash on Scott Road. After the vehicle
:10:29. > :10:33.stopped, a passenger ran down the length of the bus and threw himself
:10:33. > :10:46.at the inside of the windscreen, to fake injury. Seven people have
:10:46. > :10:49.already pleaded guilty and today the jury at Sheffield Crown Court
:10:49. > :10:51.convicted Gulzar and three others. A short while ago South Yorkshire
:10:52. > :10:56.Police gave us this reaction. They are good convictions. This was a
:10:56. > :11:00.serious crime in Sheffield. I'm glad that we have had 11 people convicted
:11:00. > :11:07.out of the 14 people involved. This was a brazen crime, wasn't it. ——? .
:11:07. > :11:13.One passenger throwing himself at the windscreen, was it hard to prove
:11:13. > :11:17.the case? It was a lengthy investigation and it took some
:11:17. > :11:22.proving. But we were able to do so. We were helped by the insurance
:11:22. > :11:26.fraud bureau and health by genuine passengers who were on the bus. The
:11:26. > :11:30.sea, we had some information that this might have been a fake
:11:30. > :11:35.accident. —— obviously we had some information. I suppose the
:11:35. > :11:39.surprising nature of this crime is that there were so many people
:11:39. > :11:46.involved. Is that worrying? Is that the kind of thing we are getting
:11:46. > :11:49.now? It just shows how this company or this group of governors had
:11:49. > :11:54.escalated this prime, the fact that they were prepared to recruit 26
:11:54. > :11:57.people to put on the bus to make claims in a staged accident. That
:11:57. > :12:02.really shows the level of organisation that they went to. And
:12:02. > :12:06.the fact that they staged the accident with a bus presents a
:12:06. > :12:10.problem for the public as well. How widespread is the problem? It is a
:12:10. > :12:16.widespread problem. Not necessarily in this area, this is the first of
:12:16. > :12:22.the kind in our area. Sentencing, when will that be? Sentencing will
:12:22. > :12:28.probably be the 4th of November. I am not sure of the actual date yet.
:12:28. > :12:31.Tonight, firecrews across Yorkshire are back in work after a four—hour
:12:31. > :12:35.strike this afternoon. There were just a handful of incidents in our
:12:35. > :12:39.region as pumps manned by a mixture of volunteers and managers stood by.
:12:39. > :12:42.Members of the Fire Brigades union say they're angry about the
:12:42. > :12:45.retirement age going up from 55 to 60. Union leaders called it a
:12:45. > :12:48."warning shot" and have not ruled out further strikes if they can't
:12:48. > :12:55.reach a deal with the government. Tom Ingall reports.
:12:55. > :13:02.Sheffield at midday. A scene repeated across Yorkshire and the
:13:02. > :13:05.North Midlands. Fire crews leaving work and joining a picket line. This
:13:05. > :13:12.is a dispute about the retirement age being raised from 55 to 60 and
:13:12. > :13:16.changes to pensions as a result. The government won't listen to us any
:13:16. > :13:20.more. We have tried to get a negotiated settlement for two years.
:13:20. > :13:26.We have two take action. We cannot let firefighters rescue people in
:13:26. > :13:32.the —— in their late 50s, it is not safe. Why have you decided to come
:13:32. > :13:36.out and support your husband? I see the risks. He comes home from work
:13:36. > :13:39.absolutely shattered and he is a fit young man. I can't see any
:13:39. > :13:44.firefighter at the age that they say you have to work to being able to
:13:44. > :13:49.keep up with how hard the job is. It is putting the public at risk and it
:13:49. > :13:54.is putting firefighters at risk. In Leeds, a demonstration was held in
:13:54. > :13:59.millennium Square. No firefighter wants to go on strike. We did not go
:13:59. > :14:03.into the fire service to not putting the public. When we respond, we have
:14:03. > :14:09.to do it quickly and it takes a lot out of you. Less than half of the
:14:09. > :14:13.firefighters voted for strike action. We have a good settlement,
:14:13. > :14:18.fed to the taxpayer and to firefighters. One of the best in the
:14:18. > :14:29.public sector. —— fair to the taxpayer. The pumps were manned by
:14:29. > :14:32.fallen tears and managers. In South Yorkshire, they are preparing in
:14:33. > :14:36.case the strike continues. The numbers that we have
:14:36. > :14:39.case the strike continues. The give the members of the crews
:14:39. > :14:47.respite during extended strike action. My worry would be more about
:14:47. > :14:51.experiencing a busy period. It seems to have been a relatively calm
:14:51. > :14:58.afternoon with a few incidents. However, the volunteers were filling
:14:58. > :15:01.in May yet be called upon again. York Hospital is the first in the
:15:01. > :15:04.country to scrap traditional antenatal classes for expectant
:15:05. > :15:08.mums. Teenage mothers will still get to go but for everyone else, the
:15:08. > :15:19.classes will be replaced by online videos from next month.
:15:19. > :15:25.The birth of a baby, undoubtedly one of the most important moments in any
:15:25. > :15:29.parent's life. Traditionally, they have had face—to—face antenatal
:15:29. > :15:33.classes to help them prepare. But at York Hospital, that is about to
:15:33. > :15:37.change. They are virtual classes, delivered by midwives who have
:15:37. > :15:43.written the script for them, who are on film. We have expanded what we
:15:43. > :15:50.are offering. We offering what the classes covered traditionally and we
:15:50. > :15:54.are also extending that. About 3400 babies are born here at your
:15:54. > :15:59.hospital every year. But only about one quarter of their mothers attend
:15:59. > :16:02.antenatal classes. The hospital says that by switching to videos, more of
:16:02. > :16:05.those parents will be able to access the help that they need. It leading
:16:05. > :16:11.charity says National childbirth trust says that
:16:11. > :16:15.parents could miss out on the support they get from meeting other
:16:15. > :16:19.parents and there is no evidence that online courses are as good as
:16:19. > :16:25.traditional ones. At this York play centre, opinions were mixed. We are
:16:25. > :16:30.having our second baby and I'm still going to look at going to active
:16:30. > :16:34.glasses because it is of benefit, packed with people who know what
:16:34. > :16:38.they are talking about. Video would be useful, rather than having to go
:16:38. > :16:43.to the hospital at a specified time and date. I would use videos for
:16:43. > :16:47.antenatal classes. Teenage mothers and those with multiple births will
:16:47. > :16:51.still get traditional face—to—face courses. The rest will hope online
:16:51. > :17:03.classes can deliver the same level of support.
:17:03. > :17:06.Campaigners hoping to take over the running of Sheffield's Don Valley
:17:06. > :17:11.Stadium will find out later if they have been successful. Sheffield City
:17:11. > :17:17.Council is going to make a ruling tonight. The group, save Don Valley
:17:17. > :17:20.Stadium are fighting a decision to close it to save money.
:17:20. > :17:23.The Department for Transport has appointed Sir David Higgins as the
:17:23. > :17:26.new chairman of the High Speed two rail line. It's planned to link
:17:27. > :17:30.London, with Sheffield and Leeds and is expected to open in 2033. Sir
:17:30. > :17:32.David ran the Olympic delivery authority responsible for
:17:32. > :17:35.construction of the venues used in London 2012. He's currently the
:17:35. > :17:41.chief executive of Network Rail and will take over as chairman of HS2 in
:17:41. > :17:44.January next year. The future of the historic village
:17:44. > :17:46.of Saltaire in West Yorkshire is being discussed at a meeting
:17:46. > :17:50.tonight. Business owners, residents and councillors will be among those
:17:50. > :17:53.attending. On the agenda will be preservation, economic
:17:53. > :17:59.sustainability and tourism. It'll help form part of a new management
:17:59. > :18:04.plan for the village. Before 7pm... We like a bit of bling
:18:04. > :18:07.don't we? And it was ever thus! We're talking about two gold
:18:07. > :18:09.bracelets, dating back to the Iron Age, which the Yorkshire Museum is
:18:09. > :18:22.trying to buy. When was the last time you bought
:18:22. > :18:25.meat? And where did you buy it? High street butchers say they're in
:18:25. > :18:28.danger of disappearing from our town centres because of competition from
:18:28. > :18:32.supermarkets — but they're fighting back. As Cathy Killick reports, in
:18:32. > :18:38.York, they're taking steps to make sure they're not consigned to
:18:38. > :18:44.history. It is one of York's most famous
:18:44. > :18:49.street, loved by tourists for its crooked houses and old world charm.
:18:49. > :18:56.Its cables give a fairy tale glimpse of its medieval past. But this day,
:18:56. > :19:03.it is full of boutique shops. There is evidence of a more gory past. The
:19:03. > :19:07.shells were called flesh elves and they were used for meat. When I was
:19:07. > :19:12.younger, my dad used to enjoy telling me about all the butchers in
:19:12. > :19:19.the shambles when he was a lad. And he used to delight in saying that
:19:19. > :19:23.all the gutters ran with blood. Now, the York sausage shop is the last
:19:23. > :19:28.surviving butchers in the shambles and one of the few surviving
:19:28. > :19:32.butchers in the city walls. We have a lot of competition from big
:19:32. > :19:38.supermarkets. We have about nine within the city centre. There are
:19:38. > :19:41.about nine —— five to ten within walking distance from the shop. They
:19:41. > :19:49.have massive buying power and can buy more for less money. At this
:19:49. > :19:53.festival of food and drink, the butchers are fighting back with a
:19:53. > :19:58.campaign they are calling The Meat Crusade. It is not just York which
:19:58. > :20:04.is losing its butchers. We are now down to 7000 independent butchers.
:20:04. > :20:08.If people want to save the high Street, one of the way they can do
:20:08. > :20:12.that is to go back to their local butcher. Consumers will ultimately
:20:12. > :20:16.decide the fate of local butchers. If enough people use them, they
:20:16. > :20:22.should survive. But if we want them in our towns and is, they will need
:20:22. > :20:25.our support. —— in our town centres. In cricket, Yorkshire look as if
:20:25. > :20:29.they are about to finish the season with one final flourish. They are
:20:29. > :20:32.certainly in a strong position on day two of their last match, away to
:20:32. > :20:35.Surrey. Gary Ballance fell just short of the 150 mark, in
:20:35. > :20:39.Yorkshire's first innings total of 434.The hosts have made a decent
:20:39. > :20:44.reply though — 172 for the loss of just one wicket at the close.
:20:44. > :20:48.The businessman who helped save the Bradford Bulls last year has handed
:20:48. > :20:55.over ownership of the last September after the Bulls had
:20:55. > :20:57.spent more than two months in administration.
:20:57. > :21:00.last September after the Bulls had spent more than two But Khan issued
:21:00. > :21:03.a statement today confirming that he and fellow directors Gerry Sutcliffe
:21:03. > :21:06.and Vipin Joshi also are stepping down from the Bulls' board. Ryan
:21:06. > :21:10.Whitcut and Mark Moore are expected to take over, in a move which is
:21:10. > :21:12.still subject to approval from the rugby league authorities. ?NEWLINE
:21:12. > :21:15.Onto football. Sadly for Huddersfield Town, they couldn't
:21:15. > :21:19.pull off a cup shock against Premier League opposition last night. Hull
:21:19. > :21:21.City scored the only goal of the game in the second half through
:21:21. > :21:24.striker Nick Proschwitz. Huddersfield's defeat means Leeds

:21:44. > :21:48.Rhinos squad were already in great voice, at a recording studio! The
:21:48. > :21:51.Rhinos have decided to produce a compilation of their own fans'

:22:05. > :22:11.Now you women love your jewellery. I'd bet you'd fancy a couple of

:22:20. > :22:25.today? Is that for me? They're not only gold, they are very, very rare.
:22:25. > :22:27.In fact they are the first pieces of Iron Age jewellery ever to be found
:22:27. > :22:37.in the north of England. They're currently on display in the
:22:37. > :22:45.Yorkshire Museum in York. And curator Natalie McCaul is here with
:22:45. > :22:50.us now. Tell us about the history of these gold bracelets? This is the
:22:50. > :22:55.first Iron Age gold jewellery found in the North of England. It is
:22:55. > :23:01.incredibly rare and it is completely rewriting what we know about this
:23:01. > :23:06.region free the Romans. —— before the Romans. We have two pieces, this
:23:06. > :23:11.one would the museum already owns and the one that we are looking at.
:23:11. > :23:16.Exciting as this one is, and wonderful as it is, this one is even
:23:16. > :23:19.more exciting because it is much more intricate. It is a more
:23:19. > :23:24.technologically advanced design and it is a much rarer type. Because
:23:24. > :23:29.they come from the same find, it is important that we save this one as
:23:29. > :23:32.well as keep the two together. We were speculating as to who could
:23:32. > :23:37.have owned this? This could have been wealthy, good it? Absolutely.
:23:37. > :23:45.This is jewellery fit for a queen in the Iron Age. North Yorkshire is
:23:45. > :23:52.ruled by a woman in this period so absolutely, the Queen is even
:23:52. > :24:00.written about by the Romans. A local celebrity in the Iron age. Head of
:24:00. > :24:10.the Brigantes? Absolutely right. It isn't. —— incredibly heavy and ought
:24:10. > :24:16.to think that it stayed in a riverbed near Towton and look at it.
:24:16. > :24:21.That is the duty of gold, it doesn't tarnish. We want to keep it in
:24:21. > :24:28.Yorkshire, how do we do that? Help us to raise the final bit of money
:24:28. > :24:33.that we need. £20,000 it has been valued at. We have 16,000 already
:24:33. > :24:43.from donations. We need to get the rest. I wish you well. It deserves
:24:43. > :24:52.to stay since it was found here. The metal detectors will be out in
:24:52. > :24:54.Talton over the next few days! Finally, the Bradford—born best

:26:12. > :26:18.keeping the areas of low pressure at bay. It looks like we will be fine
:26:18. > :26:25.on Friday at the weekend. Some sunshine. There is still a loss of

:26:39. > :26:43.rain and drizzle heading in from the north—east. Especially the North ——
