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

Onto football. Sadly for Huddersfield Town, they couldn't | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
pull off a cup shock against Premier League opposition last night. Hull | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
City scored the only goal of the game in the second half through | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
striker Nick Proschwitz. Huddersfield's defeat means Leeds | :21:21. | :21:24. | |

Newcastle tonight. Super League fans! Tonight is your | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
last free evening before two mouthwatering playoff semi finals, | :21:36. | :21:38. | |

will be going to this year's Old Trafford Grand Final. But today, the | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
Rhinos squad were already in great voice, at a recording studio! The | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
Rhinos have decided to produce a compilation of their own fans' | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
songs, which they hear from the terraces on a matchday. The finished | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
product will be on sale before Christmas. Proceeds will go to the | :21:55. | :21:59. | |

Now you women love your jewellery. I'd bet you'd fancy a couple of | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
expensive gold bracelets? Did somebody tell you it was my birthday | :22:11. | :22:20. | |
today? Is that for me? They're not only gold, they are very, very rare. | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
In fact they are the first pieces of Iron Age jewellery ever to be found | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
in the north of England. They're currently on display in the | :22:27. | :22:37. | |
Yorkshire Museum in York. And curator Natalie McCaul is here with | :22:37. | :22:45. | |
us now. Tell us about the history of these gold bracelets? This is the | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
first Iron Age gold jewellery found in the North of England. It is | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
incredibly rare and it is completely rewriting what we know about this | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
region free the Romans. —— before the Romans. We have two pieces, this | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
one would the museum already owns and the one that we are looking at. | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
Exciting as this one is, and wonderful as it is, this one is even | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
more exciting because it is much more intricate. It is a more | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
technologically advanced design and it is a much rarer type. Because | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
they come from the same find, it is important that we save this one as | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
well as keep the two together. We were speculating as to who could | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
have owned this? This could have been wealthy, good it? Absolutely. | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
This is jewellery fit for a queen in the Iron Age. North Yorkshire is | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
ruled by a woman in this period so absolutely, the Queen is even | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
written about by the Romans. A local celebrity in the Iron age. Head of | :23:52. | :24:00. | |
the Brigantes? Absolutely right. It isn't. —— incredibly heavy and ought | :24:00. | :24:10. | |
to think that it stayed in a riverbed near Towton and look at it. | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
That is the duty of gold, it doesn't tarnish. We want to keep it in | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
Yorkshire, how do we do that? Help us to raise the final bit of money | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
that we need. £20,000 it has been valued at. We have 16,000 already | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
from donations. We need to get the rest. I wish you well. It deserves | :24:33. | :24:43. | |
to stay since it was found here. The metal detectors will be out in | :24:43. | :24:52. | |
Talton over the next few days! Finally, the Bradford—born best | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
selling author, Barbara Taylor Bradford is to auction off part of | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
her huge collection of valuable jewellery. Many of the items were | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
given to her by her husband of 49 years, Robert Bradford, whom she | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
describes as 'very generous'. They include a 14 carat cushion—shape | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
diamond ring, an antique sapphire and diamond brooch and an 18 carat | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
sapphire ring. The collection, which is valued at between £1.5 and two | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
million, will be auctioned off at Bonhams in London in December. | :25:16. | :25:26. | |
Unbelievable, isn't it? Are the security guard still over | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
there? The ladies I spoke to at lunchtime | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
spent —— send their best wishes. I can show you two nice pictures. | :25:38. | :25:52. | |
Look out atmospheric that is. —— look how atmospheric that is. Keep | :25:52. | :25:59. | |
your pictures coming. So for the next 24 hours, an improving trend. | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
We will start off with a lot of clout in western and southern areas | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
but it will brighten up with sunny spells. High pressure coming in | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
keeping the areas of low pressure at bay. It looks like we will be fine | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
on Friday at the weekend. Some sunshine. There is still a loss of | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
cloud on the satellite picture. But look at tomorrow's whether lurking | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
in the north—east. Gradually, this weather front will come southwards | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
and we were all brighten up. This evening is dank and cloudy. Light | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
rain and drizzle heading in from the north—east. Especially the North —— | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
the North York Moors, the Yorkshire Dales. But there will be clear | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
spells in the East. Further west, it will stay damp and drizzly. The sun | :26:49. | :26:57. | |
will rise in the morning at these times. A West —East slate early in | :26:57. | :27:14. | |
the morning. The cloud she gradually breaks up in the morning —— a split | :27:14. | :27:21. | |
early in the morning. Early dampness in the West. Top temperatures close | :27:21. | :27:29. | |
to average in land. The good news is that Friday and the weekend are | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
looking quite pleasant. We have just heard that Sheffield | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
council has said no to those campaigners wanting to take over and | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
save Don Valley Stadium. That means that the stadium will be demolished. | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
Good night. | :27:45. | :27:46. |
