:00:05. > :00:08.Hello, welcome to Tuesday's Look North. Tonight — teachers on the
:00:08. > :00:18.march. Strikers vent their anger forced to close.
:00:18. > :00:22.We'll hear from both sides of the dispute — and from the parents
:00:22. > :00:24.caught in the middle. Also tonight...
:00:24. > :00:33.We ask what's being done to improve the chances of young people in one
:00:33. > :00:36.of Leeds's most notorious areas. And we'll be getting our own special
:00:36. > :00:44.performance from Bradford's Kiki Dee.
:00:44. > :00:49.Today has not been a bad day in the weather, but it has been rather
:00:49. > :00:54.cloudy. These were the overcast cloud over Bradford this afternoon.
:00:54. > :00:59.We have a full forecast for you later.
:00:59. > :01:04.Thousands of our region's teachers have been on strike today, leading
:01:04. > :01:11.to widespread school closures and disruption for many parents and
:01:11. > :01:14.children. So why are our teachers taking industrial action? Well, the
:01:14. > :01:17.two main teaching unions, the NUT and the NASUWT say teaching is under
:01:17. > :01:20.attack from Government reforms. Changes in pay will mean individual
:01:20. > :01:23.head teachers will decide what to pay teachers, rather than sticking
:01:23. > :01:26.to nationally agreed rates. The unions say a teacher starting on
:01:26. > :01:31.twenty one thousand pounds may no longer see his or her pay rise with
:01:31. > :01:34.experience, as it does now. The unions say Government cuts have lead
:01:34. > :01:38.to job losses, meaning bigger class sizes and the employment of
:01:38. > :01:41.unqualified staff. A squeeze on pensions will mean working longer
:01:41. > :01:49.for less, with teachers working till they're 68. And finally, workloads.
:01:49. > :01:52.bureaucracy and paperwork are preventing teachers from spending
:01:52. > :01:54.time on their teaching. In a moment, we'll hear what impact today's
:01:54. > :01:57.strike has had on the wider community, but first Tom Ingall
:01:57. > :02:01.reports on today's strike action. Right across Yorkshire and the North
:02:01. > :02:04.Midlands, the same scene. Empty schools. Instead, thousands of
:02:04. > :02:10.teachers gathered in the heart of Sheffield to rally to their cause. A
:02:10. > :02:15.beginner teacher will now start on £21,000. They have been on that
:02:15. > :02:22.level for quite awhile. With this new system, there is no guarantee
:02:22. > :02:28.they will get off £21,000. After the speeches, the rally set off. This
:02:28. > :02:32.has been coming through the city centre for the last 20 minutes. The
:02:32. > :02:40.Mr Bean 70,000 people gathering, but there is no one issue that gathers
:02:40. > :02:47.everyone. —— there have been coming through. Is it right to deny
:02:47. > :02:53.children education to come out on strike? It is about the longer—term
:02:53. > :02:58.picture, if we do not do something right now, it will not be right in
:02:58. > :03:01.50 years time. Pay is a long—term issue, but it is more about the
:03:02. > :03:05.conditions, they make you feel inadequate. However, not all those
:03:05. > :03:13.watching the parade pass sympathised. I am not in support of
:03:13. > :03:17.it. Do you think they should be in school? Yes, they appeared to be in
:03:17. > :03:24.school to be teaching our children. There should be more supportive than
:03:24. > :03:30.at the end of the day, I think they are doing the right thing,
:03:31. > :03:33.basically. There was a similar rally in Leeds. Passionate and determined
:03:34. > :03:37.to be heard. The Education Secretary Michael Gove was the target for what
:03:37. > :03:40.anger there was. He was speaking this afternoon at the Conservative
:03:40. > :03:43.Party Conference. The teachers are doing a fantastic job, and we need
:03:43. > :03:48.to support the many, many teachers that are working today, and for
:03:48. > :03:51.those that are striking, their action will not help children,
:03:51. > :03:54.sadly. In Sheffield, striking teachers completed their rally with
:03:54. > :03:58.a conference of their own. Many said, this was the only way they
:03:58. > :04:01.thought they might be heard. Today's action will be repeated in other
:04:01. > :04:05.parts of the country later this month.
:04:05. > :04:08.Well, the hundreds of school closures across Yorkshire have
:04:08. > :04:12.resulted in many parents having to take the day off work. It means many
:04:12. > :04:15.businesses have also had to make do with a reduced workforce. Joe Inwood
:04:16. > :04:21.has spent the day in Boston Spa to find out what.
:04:21. > :04:25.It is an earlier start than usual in this household. It is time to check
:04:25. > :04:29.the school bags. There are school is open, but Jake's school is closed
:04:29. > :04:36.and he is staying at his grandmothers. It is the only option
:04:36. > :04:41.for dad Mark who runs a small business. Today, the impact of his
:04:41. > :04:46.strike has not just been at home. It doesn't just affect parents,
:04:46. > :04:51.students, it affects small to medium enterprises and businesses, local
:04:51. > :04:54.businesses. But his business is caring for vulnerable people and he
:04:55. > :05:01.cannot let them down. Despite the fact
:05:01. > :05:07.says the people that he care for should not feel the impact of this
:05:07. > :05:14.strike. But the same cannot be said across town. Dean runs a fish stall
:05:14. > :05:21.and Ruth has a shop. Oh have noticed that the trade is noticeably down.
:05:21. > :05:27.Yes, it is noticeable, at the end of the day, my wages will not be there,
:05:27. > :05:31.it is hitting everybody. Normally we get the young mums after they have
:05:31. > :05:34.dropped off at the school run, we have not had them today. Hopefully
:05:34. > :05:39.they will be here tomorrow to spend some money! For others, having an
:05:39. > :05:46.impact is an important part of the strike. It is unfortunate, but it
:05:46. > :05:53.would be meaningless if it wasn't brought to the public 's attention.
:05:53. > :05:59.So, today, Miles disruption, but others say that a single day of
:05:59. > :06:05.strike will not have a large effect. A small dispute would not have much
:06:05. > :06:10.of an effect, a longer dispute, some organisations would find it quite
:06:10. > :06:17.difficult to accommodate the kind of flexibility and output required for
:06:17. > :06:21.sustained economic success. Back at Amanda's it is time for a cup of
:06:21. > :06:28.tea. Some have been affected, but others have been genuinely disrupted
:06:28. > :06:35.by today's action. Well, a lot of you have been getting
:06:35. > :06:37.says... Endless admin, unqualified adults becoming teachers, impossible
:06:37. > :06:38.targets for our kids to reach, teachers teaching until the age of
:06:38. > :07:14.68. Thank you for all of the comments,
:07:14. > :07:27.there is more on the Facebook page. The Bradford mother who is accused
:07:27. > :07:31.of allowing her four year old son, Hamzah Khan, to starve to death,
:07:31. > :07:34.broke down in the witness box, as she was questioned about the day she
:07:34. > :07:38.found her child dead. Amanda Hutton kept Hamzah's body lying in his cot
:07:38. > :07:41.for nearly two years before it was discovered. Miss Hutton denies his
:07:41. > :07:46.manslaughter by gross negligence. Our Crime Correspondent John Cundy
:07:46. > :07:53.is in Bradford now. She defended her conduct in the days
:07:53. > :07:57.leading up to his death, didn't she? She began by explaining that his
:07:57. > :08:02.father, a man she had an often violent relationship with for some
:08:02. > :08:08.20 years, but her defence counsel put it to her, he had started having
:08:08. > :08:12.feeding problems, were you not concerned
:08:12. > :08:17.No, she said, I just thought he would grow out of it. The
:08:17. > :08:26.prosecution accused her of a terrible breach of duty which led to
:08:26. > :08:32.the death of Hamza? Yes, they said that it was malnourishment that
:08:32. > :08:36.caused it. She said, no, he was not a poorly child, but the prosecution
:08:36. > :08:41.went on to say, you concealed the body for almost two years. She said,
:08:41. > :08:46.I was in shock, I did not know what to do. He said, it was your terrible
:08:46. > :08:52.failure, you killed the child. She said, know I did not. We know that
:08:52. > :08:58.he died in terrible squalor, what did she have to say about that? She
:08:58. > :09:01.said before his death, she had kept a good home, but she had gone to
:09:01. > :09:06.pieces after he died. She was invited to look at police videos of
:09:06. > :09:12.the piles of rubbish on her phone, but she said she could not face it.
:09:12. > :09:19.The prosecution said, why was mouldy foods left around? She said, I was
:09:19. > :09:23.just upset and drinking. They said, you had a major problem with
:09:23. > :09:28.drinking even before he died. No, she replied. Finally, the defence
:09:28. > :09:35.said, at any stage did you believe that he would die? Her reply, no.
:09:35. > :09:37.That's complete the evidence. There will be speeches by the prosecution
:09:37. > :09:39.and the defence to be followed by the summing up of the judge and the
:09:39. > :09:46.jury is expected to Thursday morning to consider its
:09:46. > :09:52.verdict. Thank you.
:09:52. > :09:55.In other news now, and a recycling company in Rotherham is to be
:09:55. > :09:59.charged with corporate manslaughter following the death of a man in an
:09:59. > :10:01.explosion two years ago. 42—year—old Michael Whinfrey from Wickersley
:10:01. > :10:04.died in the blast at Sterecycle Limited in January 2011. Another
:10:04. > :10:07.worker was also seriously injured. It's thought a piece of equipment
:10:07. > :10:10.used to process household waste exploded due to a build—up of
:10:10. > :10:13.pressure. A former primary school teacher in
:10:13. > :10:15.York's been jailed for filming pupils as they changed for swimming.
:10:15. > :10:19.Christopher Gibbons admitted one charge of taking an indecent picture
:10:19. > :10:23.of a child and three of voyeurism. Today at York Crown Court he was
:10:23. > :10:27.jailed for a year and banned from working with children for life.
:10:28. > :10:32.The family of a North Yorkshire man killed in a plane crash say they're
:10:32. > :10:35.still waiting for an apology. 61—year—old Arthur Coakley from
:10:35. > :10:38.Sandsend near Whitby was one of 228 people killed when an Air France
:10:38. > :10:43.flight crashed into the Atlantic in 2009. Technical failures and human
:10:43. > :10:45.error were blamed. At his inquest today the coroner raised concerns
:10:45. > :10:49.over whether pilots are too dependent on technology to fly
:10:49. > :10:59.planes. But Arthur's widow says they just want someone to apologise.
:10:59. > :11:04.Everybody deserves an apology from Air France, but they refused to give
:11:04. > :11:09.it. I have spoken to their lawyer, and asked him for one, and he
:11:09. > :11:13.ignored it. That is really all we would like, an apology, as a family.
:11:13. > :11:19.Council housing in Leeds is being run by the council
:11:19. > :11:21.by management companies. It follows a consultation with seventy thousand
:11:21. > :11:23.tenants. The council will now have responsibility for overall
:11:23. > :11:33.management, dealing with tenants and any repair work needed.
:11:33. > :11:39.Coming up, do you know an unsung hero? Find out how you can give them
:11:39. > :11:51.the chance to rub shoulders with the stars at the big awards ceremony.
:11:51. > :11:54.And still sounding fantastic after 50 years, do not miss Kiki Dee later
:11:54. > :12:05.in the programme. It's a part of Leeds with a history
:12:05. > :12:09.of shootings, drugs and gangs. And now young people in Chapeltown say
:12:09. > :12:12.the area's bad reputation has left them with a lack of opportunities.
:12:12. > :12:15.They're hoping a new youth centre could help change the future for
:12:15. > :12:21.people growing up there. Emma Glasbey reports.
:12:21. > :12:26.For decades, there is part of Leeds has made headlines for the wrong
:12:26. > :12:32.reasons. Shootings, gangs, drugs. But what is it really like growing
:12:32. > :12:38.up here? From what people here, they make it seem like a bad place, so
:12:38. > :12:43.that puts our situation we are in now. Apart from the football, there
:12:43. > :12:47.is not much to do. We cannot really get jobs and stuff. If there was
:12:47. > :12:52.more stuff to do like football here for the youngsters, and youth clubs,
:12:52. > :12:56.and things like that, then there would be lots more kids off the
:12:56. > :13:00.streets. If there is nothing to do, people do bad stuff and get
:13:00. > :13:04.themselves into trouble. We need things to do so people don't get
:13:04. > :13:09.into trouble. But these teenagers stay away from trouble. They use
:13:09. > :13:23.this room in a local council building as a youth club a couple of
:13:24. > :13:26.nights a week. What they really want is a brand—new youth centre. The
:13:26. > :13:28.land behind being here is where they want to build it, close to the
:13:29. > :13:30.Caribbean cricket club. It would offer sports, homework clubs, it
:13:31. > :13:33.would prevent people getting drawn into gangs. They would like this
:13:33. > :13:38.land to be leased to them by the council. They already use the
:13:38. > :13:43.council pitches for football training here, and there is a lot of
:13:43. > :13:48.talent. England international Micah Richards is just one of the success
:13:48. > :13:53.stories. But there are warnings from the community that young people here
:13:53. > :13:58.need more than football. When we had the situation with potential riots
:13:58. > :14:02.here, we stayed out until five o'clock in the morning and spoke to
:14:02. > :14:05.young people to take them away from being on the streets and having the
:14:05. > :14:10.rioting like they did in the rest of the country. That is the reason it
:14:10. > :14:14.didn't happen. If things go on like they are, with the lack of
:14:14. > :14:19.resources, the lack of jobs and opportunities in an area like this,
:14:19. > :14:24.it would be guaranteed that it will erupt. The teenagers know all too
:14:24. > :14:30.well that where they live has a bad reputation. What they are asking for
:14:30. > :14:33.is action instead of criticism. No—one from Leeds City Council was
:14:33. > :14:44.available for interview but in a statement they say... In Chapeltown
:14:44. > :14:47.there are 12 clubs and groups that run during the week. We also funded
:14:47. > :14:51.15 separate projects over the summer holidays this year." Joining us now
:14:51. > :14:54.is Lutel James who we heard from in that report and also Chief Inspector
:14:54. > :14:59.Melanie Jones from West Yorkshire Police. You said something in that
:14:59. > :15:03.report, that was potentially quite inflammatory, about things not
:15:03. > :15:10.change, trouble is guaranteed to flare up, do you stand by that? Yes,
:15:10. > :15:14.I stand by that comment. If you people do not have jobs and
:15:14. > :15:18.opportunities, we know across the country, the climate is hard, but
:15:18. > :15:23.this has been an issue here for the last 30 years. What young people are
:15:23. > :15:26.saying is, if they get an opportunity to engage in positive
:15:26. > :15:30.activity in a fit for purpose building, and have the resources to
:15:30. > :15:34.develop their social skills, to deal with society and what it to rose at
:15:34. > :15:44.them, then they will adapt to those situations. If they do not have it,
:15:44. > :15:47.they will find something to do that we probably do not like to see them
:15:47. > :15:51.doing. I see it as a guarantee. Chief Inspector, we have heard what
:15:51. > :15:57.they have had to say, can you see tensions in the community? Tensions
:15:57. > :16:03.are in a good place at the moment, from a police perspective, we
:16:03. > :16:13.communities and community groups, and this is a great opportunity,
:16:13. > :16:15.generally. There is a history of poor relations between the community
:16:15. > :16:17.and the police in Chapeltown, there have been shootings there in the
:16:17. > :16:23.last few years, gangs arrested for drugs, so there are still negativity
:16:23. > :16:26.coming from that area. Chapeltown is no difference to other similar
:16:26. > :16:30.inner—city communities, and there have been those instances, but they
:16:30. > :16:33.had been declining for several years. The positive relationships
:16:33. > :16:38.between the community and the police have been approving all the time.
:16:39. > :16:43.Tell us what would make a tangible difference to young people in the
:16:43. > :16:47.area? We need to acknowledge the amount of professionals in the
:16:47. > :16:51.Chapeltown area from all fields of work, it is not just about
:16:51. > :16:55.negativity. We're talking about social development and progress in
:16:55. > :16:59.and raising aspirations. Chapeltown, if there are issues in
:16:59. > :17:03.the other part of the city, it belongs to Chapeltown, but as soon
:17:03. > :17:07.as there are resources, it goes somewhere else. We want a youth
:17:07. > :17:12.one—stop centre were people can engage and we can be the engagement
:17:12. > :17:17.provider but also brokering and linking them with services that they
:17:17. > :17:21.have not had in the past. This gives them opportunities around training,
:17:21. > :17:25.employment, education. When you talk about homework clubs, one—to—one
:17:25. > :17:29.mentoring, real, tangible skills that the community has to make a
:17:29. > :17:35.difference in their lives, they have a massive impact. Then the same
:17:35. > :17:42.cycle will not be going on again and again and again. The last point
:17:42. > :17:45.five years that young people will spend in jail, they will go through
:17:45. > :17:47.this nonstop thing around criminality. We need to change their
:17:47. > :17:53.behaviour. Thank you both very much for coming to speak to us.
:17:53. > :17:57.Let's take a look at the sport now. Huddersfield's Erol Crabtree has
:17:57. > :18:00.missed out on a place in The England squad for the Rugby League World
:18:00. > :18:03.Cup. Three of the four Burgess brothers are in the 24—man squad
:18:03. > :18:06.named this morning. They're from Dewsbury but all now play for the
:18:06. > :18:10.South Sydney Rabbitohs. Sam is joined by twins George and Thomas,
:18:10. > :18:15.with Luke the one to miss out. The side will be captained by the Leeds
:18:15. > :18:19.Rhinos skipper Kevin Sinfield. As an England team, we have been building
:18:19. > :18:24.for this for a number of years now, the time and energy, not only that
:18:24. > :18:28.the staff have invested, but certainly the players but a lot in.
:18:28. > :18:38.It is great to be at the stage where we are not that far away now.
:18:38. > :18:41.The countdown has started to the 60th edition of BBC Sports
:18:41. > :18:45.Personality of the Year. The event will be broadcast live from Leeds in
:18:45. > :18:52.December. But we want you to get involved now in choosing one of the
:18:52. > :19:00.winners. Ian Bucknell has more. MUSIC PLAYS
:19:00. > :19:04.The BBC is looking for an unsung sporting hero, somebody that
:19:04. > :19:06.volunteers their time to encourage other people to take part in sport.
:19:06. > :19:15.It might be somebody helping to working behind the scenes to keep a
:19:15. > :19:20.community team or club going. Do you know somebody who has fitted the
:19:20. > :19:26.bill? In the past, we had rocky, he made sport fun for the young. We had
:19:26. > :19:31.after, he raised money to build a clubhouse. The winner of the award
:19:31. > :19:34.in Yorkshire will go towards the national final and a chance to
:19:34. > :19:43.become the BBC sports personality unsung hero. The ceremony this year
:19:43. > :19:51.will be held on December 15th in Leeds. If you know anybody that
:19:51. > :19:58.works across sport that deserves a little bit of attention and some
:19:58. > :20:03.work timmy—macro gratitude for what they do, then put their names
:20:03. > :20:09.forward. Get onto the website to nominate.
:20:09. > :20:16.Our next guest started her career singing with a local band in
:20:16. > :20:20.Bradford in the early 1960s. She was the first white British artist to be
:20:20. > :20:24.signed by the Motown record label in the United States. And in a career
:20:24. > :20:27.spanning half a century she has released nearly 39 singles and 12
:20:27. > :20:30.albums — including the famous hit single — "Don't Go Breaking My
:20:30. > :20:33.Heart", with Elton John. Well, Kiki Dee has just released a
:20:33. > :20:55.new album with Carmelo Luggeri called "A Place Where I Can Go".
:20:55. > :21:06.She joins us now. 50 years in the business, you should be putting your
:21:06. > :21:11.feet up now! I don't think so! No, I have to keep
:21:11. > :21:19.working! I am more creative than ever. We have got an album out this
:21:19. > :21:22.week, so we are touring. It all started in Bradford, you left school
:21:22. > :21:29.at the age of 16 and you got a job in boots, but it was all about the
:21:29. > :21:33.music in the evenings. Yes, I sang at the Astoria ballroom in Leeds. It
:21:33. > :21:41.is gone now. I worked at Boots chemist in the men's counter.
:21:41. > :21:48.Selling Wilkinson Sword razor blades! Sorry! Advertising! Then it

:21:54. > :22:03.at 16. You must have had a heroin or a hero you wanted to follow? My
:22:03. > :22:08.brother was older than me, he had a very good interest in music, he was
:22:08. > :22:15.a rock 'n' roll fan. He had a 78 final of Alvis, Jerry Lee Lewis,
:22:15. > :22:22.fats Domino, just all of the amazing acts. I used to love Brenda Lee as a
:22:23. > :22:28.child. I used to sing her songs. You say that your family are watching,

:22:44. > :22:47.superstar! Can you imagine, 1963 when the Beatles and the Rolling
:22:47. > :22:52.Stones started, and I went down to London with my dad for an audition,
:22:52. > :22:58.and I was in swinging London and the place was buzzing, so quite exciting
:22:58. > :23:08.to go down there. Tell us about your two, a very special gig in salt are
:23:08. > :23:15.coming up? Yes, my dad was the wage earner in the family, my mother was
:23:15. > :23:18.a stay at home mum, I came from a secure background, it holds you in
:23:18. > :23:23.good stead, it is great, and we were invited to play in salt air, and I
:23:23. > :23:31.would love to, because my dad used to work at the salt mill there, so
:23:31. > :23:38.it would be great to get back there. Now, time for the weather. My long
:23:38. > :23:44.lost daughter! Some lovely pictures in the last few
:23:44. > :23:58.days. Some bubbling clouds, some beautiful
:23:58. > :24:17.pictures on the coast. Keep your pictures coming into us.
:24:17. > :24:23.Tomorrow, not as nice as it has been today. A decent stay. The coast has
:24:23. > :24:27.the best of the sunshine, elsewhere are some more cloud. It will not be
:24:27. > :24:33.the same for tomorrow. Some heavy rain at times. Turning light and
:24:34. > :24:40.patchy in the afternoon. This is courtesy of this front on the
:24:40. > :24:44.pressure chart. You can see have to be settled conditions that we had I
:24:44. > :24:49.pressure dominating. Some low—pressure continuing to push east
:24:49. > :24:53.in the next few days. Further rain in the forecast. This is the
:24:53. > :24:59.satellite picture from earlier, some variable cloud. You can see, the
:24:59. > :25:05.theme in the next few hours is variable cloud. Another to squeeze
:25:05. > :25:10.out the odd bit of drizzle. A dry night with some breaks in the cloud
:25:10. > :25:17.and temperatures falling back to 11 or 12 degrees. 52 Fahrenheit. A
:25:17. > :25:22.generally mild night, staying breezy throughout. The sun rises at 9:07am,
:25:22. > :25:30.the next high water in Filey tomorrow morning at 314 AM. Some
:25:30. > :25:40.bright or sunny spells very early on, but the cloud will thicken up.
:25:40. > :25:45.The showers will break up in the early afternoon and become light and
:25:45. > :25:48.patchy in the afternoon. The odd shower but some drier spells. It
:25:48. > :25:55.would be fairly breezy, so with the breeze and the rain, it will feel
:25:55. > :25:58.rather miserable. Temperatures of 14 to 15 degrees. Rain later on
:25:58. > :26:01.Thursday, but not looking bad for the weekend.
:26:01. > :26:05.Well, to end the programme tonight I am delighted to say that Bradford's
