:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to Wednesday's Look North. Tonight ` killed after less than a
:00:07. > :00:10.month in Afghanistan ` the six members of the Yorkshire Regiment's
:00:11. > :00:19.third Battalion ` victims of the deadliest single attack on UK forces
:00:20. > :00:22.since 2001. Also tonight: A community in grief instead of
:00:23. > :00:28.celebrating Eid ` a Rotherham butcher murdered in his shop is
:00:29. > :00:41.mourned. He was a nice guy. He was pleasant
:00:42. > :00:46.and that. He would welcome anybody. Join me later, a trip back in time
:00:47. > :00:54.to 30 years ago when this shopping centre opened in Wakefield. It was a
:00:55. > :00:56.grey day at Bolton Abbey. Tomorrow is a brighter prospects. Join me
:00:57. > :01:07.later for the detailed forecast. Tonight ` a teenage soldier killed
:01:08. > :01:11.alongside five colleagues in a bomb blast in Afghanistan, was a
:01:12. > :01:14.last`minute stand`in. Private Christopher Kershaw from Bradford
:01:15. > :01:19.had volunteered to take the place of a colleague, driving the Warrior
:01:20. > :01:21.armoured vehicle. He died alongside Sergeant Nigel Coupe, Corporal Jake
:01:22. > :01:29.Hartley, and Privates Anthony Frampton, Daniel Wade and Daniel
:01:30. > :01:33.Wilford.. All from the Yorkshire Regiment's third battalion. It was
:01:34. > :01:38.the Taliban's single deadliest enemy attack since operations began in
:01:39. > :01:41.Afghanistan. Today an inquest in Oxford was told that the explosion
:01:42. > :01:45.was so powerful it turned the vehicle upside down. All the men
:01:46. > :01:49.were either killed outright or knocked unconscious in the blast in
:01:50. > :01:56.March last year. They had been in Afghanistan less than a month.
:01:57. > :02:02.Robert Hall's been at the hearing. There are six tragic stories here
:02:03. > :02:05.but because of private Kershaw's age, that was what shocks more
:02:06. > :02:12.people when the news of the deaths broke. He wasn't supposed to be on
:02:13. > :02:20.the warrior. We heard today from one of his colleagues, a private two
:02:21. > :02:25.said the original driver was not available, he was on his way back
:02:26. > :02:30.from the shower and Christopher Kershaw always keen to be out there
:02:31. > :02:34.and keen to be doing his best volunteered to drive the vehicle. It
:02:35. > :02:41.was to be his last patrol. His mother is here to listen to the
:02:42. > :02:45.evidence. She has talked about how difficult it is for her. She said
:02:46. > :02:51.it's not about going through everything and bring everything back
:02:52. > :02:58.up but it is about closure, it will be a very difficult couple of days.
:02:59. > :03:03.What else do the inquest tell us? We have been hearing about the
:03:04. > :03:11.sequence of events on the March day last year, a routine patrol, the two
:03:12. > :03:15.warriors on a patrol which took them to a crossroads under which this
:03:16. > :03:21.large improvised explosive device roadside bomb was planted. We have
:03:22. > :03:28.heard evidence the bomb was so large it blew the warrior on its side and
:03:29. > :03:32.blew off the gun turret and caused a large fire. Luke stones who talked
:03:33. > :03:39.about Christopher Kershaw was travelling in the warrior behind
:03:40. > :03:46.K`12 and he said they felt the blast, huge fireball 45 yards in
:03:47. > :03:55.front of them. They had run forward to try to help but it was a fire
:03:56. > :04:01.which was big. Very difficult time for them, the pathologist evidence
:04:02. > :04:08.we had today suggested the explosion was so large that it probably killed
:04:09. > :04:13.the soldiers or blended them unconscious almost immediately. The
:04:14. > :04:19.Ministry of Defence said that this warrior vehicle, even with its
:04:20. > :04:24.armour, any armoured vehicle in an explosion of this size can not be
:04:25. > :04:30.totally protected. A traumatic day for those involved. The inquest is
:04:31. > :04:33.expected to end tomorrow. Some breaking news now and armed police
:04:34. > :04:36.are dealing with what's been described as a major incident in the
:04:37. > :04:40.centre of Knaresborough tonight. It's near the St James' Retail Park.
:04:41. > :04:42.Police have not said exactly what is happening but an amateur cameraman
:04:43. > :04:46.recorded these pictures of someone being arrested at gunpoint a short
:04:47. > :04:50.time ago. People living and working in the area around the High Street
:04:51. > :04:53.have been told to stay inside their buildings. There are no reports of
:04:54. > :05:01.any injuries but the incident is said to be continuing. Traffic is
:05:02. > :05:05.being diverted away from the area. There are huge disruptions.
:05:06. > :05:09.A butcher who was stabbed to death in his shop in Rotherham has been
:05:10. > :05:13.described as a man at the heart of his community. Parvaiz Iqbal was a
:05:14. > :05:18.40`year`old father of three boys. He died in the shop in the Eastwood
:05:19. > :05:27.area yesterday. Tom Ingall's there now.
:05:28. > :05:34.It is almost 30 hours since the popular shopkeeper on Grosvenor Road
:05:35. > :05:38.in Rotherham was murdered and another man seriously injured. At
:05:39. > :05:43.the front of the shop, you can't quite see it, there is a pile of
:05:44. > :05:47.flowers which has been growing. There is a sense of disbelief in the
:05:48. > :05:53.community tonight, people are uncertain about what happened and
:05:54. > :05:59.why and it is muting celebrations on what should be a special day. This
:06:00. > :06:04.should be a day of celebration. For many, today is the deed
:06:05. > :06:10.Festival. Families of returning as mourners. There is no joy in
:06:11. > :06:24.greetings on the street. Look around you, in the mosques... That business
:06:25. > :06:33.has been there for 30 years. It's a long time. Everyone used to say
:06:34. > :06:36.hello. He was a bubbly guy. Parvaiz Iqbal, a father of three was
:06:37. > :06:42.attacked and killed in his shop yesterday. Another man was seriously
:06:43. > :06:49.injured. He is still in hospital. He was a nice guy, I'd tell you the
:06:50. > :07:00.truth. He was pleasant. He would welcome anybody, no matter who. He
:07:01. > :07:04.was a nice guy. It is spoiled for everybody, especially his three
:07:05. > :07:10.young kids. And his mother and family. Really upset. As the police
:07:11. > :07:15.cordon is lifted, we have a clearer idea of the size of the attack and
:07:16. > :07:23.what Ken only be seen as vicious frenzy. There are lots of broken
:07:24. > :07:26.glass and around the corner the barber shop is closed, the windows
:07:27. > :07:34.smashed and it leads back to the police van. No other details have
:07:35. > :07:38.been confirmed yet about the weapon used, postmortem examination was
:07:39. > :07:42.carried out this afternoon. For those who came to pray and remember
:07:43. > :07:46.their friend and relative, the details are perhaps unimportant.
:07:47. > :07:52.Their grief has clouded everything, even this most spiritual of days.
:07:53. > :07:56.Police arrested a 27`year`old man and he was arrested a mile away from
:07:57. > :08:02.here at Tesco in the heart of Rotherham. He remains in custody, he
:08:03. > :08:07.is being questioned and still a lots of police activity, not just on
:08:08. > :08:12.Grosvenor Road but in the whole area, a couple of patrol cars and
:08:13. > :08:20.mounted patrols. Police want to get the message out that the community
:08:21. > :08:23.is safe. Thank you. Later on Look North: As unemployment falls
:08:24. > :08:29.Charlotte reports from a luxury lingerie business.
:08:30. > :08:34.This firm in Leeds makes bras and pants for some of the most famous
:08:35. > :08:43.women. Find out later why they are struggling to fulfil the order that
:08:44. > :08:46.are flooding in. First, there's a warning today of a
:08:47. > :08:49.mental health time bomb amongst sixth form students in Yorkshire.
:08:50. > :08:52.The Deputy Head of one of York's leading schools says he's convinced
:08:53. > :08:55.more students are suffering with depression and anxiety because of
:08:56. > :08:58.pressure to do well in their exams. He's predicting that government
:08:59. > :09:01.reforms to A`Levels will make the situation worse. Here's Spencer
:09:02. > :09:08.Stokes. Is there too much pressure on
:09:09. > :09:14.A`level students? This School in York achieved its best ever grades
:09:15. > :09:18.but back came at a cost. The deputy head says recently he's seen a big
:09:19. > :09:21.rise in pupils suffering with mental health issues. He is linking it to
:09:22. > :09:27.the expert patient that exam candidates will succeed. This is
:09:28. > :09:35.stress, anxiety, different behaviours, OCD, food problems and
:09:36. > :09:38.sometimes when it gets really bad, depression where they cannot
:09:39. > :09:43.recognise themselves, there is a dullness and sadness and they behave
:09:44. > :09:49.in ways they would not normally and they cannot sleep. This isn't unique
:09:50. > :09:53.to this school. Their lives in Leeds and found the pressure to do well
:09:54. > :09:59.too much. She turns to self harm to take away the worry of the exams. My
:10:00. > :10:05.head felt like it would explode. I resorted to scratching myself in an
:10:06. > :10:11.angry and frustrated phase and realised the pain and the stuff I
:10:12. > :10:16.got out of that, I can't explain it but it took me away for a few
:10:17. > :10:21.seconds. Others have gone further, earlier this year a teenager took
:10:22. > :10:27.his own life while returning to boarding school. Jake jumped in
:10:28. > :10:32.front of a train at Northallerton cause of worries about studies.
:10:33. > :10:37.A`levels will be changed in three years but government plans to do
:10:38. > :10:42.away with ongoing assessment and in favour of one big exam will add to
:10:43. > :10:47.stress. The pressure I see on the students will build up and I wonder
:10:48. > :10:50.if we are in danger of creating a potential time bomb in the future
:10:51. > :10:55.because if they are worried and stressed now, it will be increased
:10:56. > :11:01.when you put the pressure on to a final exam. Beth found support
:11:02. > :11:06.through a charity and recommend students in a similar situation do
:11:07. > :11:13.the same. On results day, she got a is and bees.
:11:14. > :11:15.In the rest of the day's news, the Independent Police Complaints
:11:16. > :11:18.Commission has begun an investigation into a former
:11:19. > :11:21.Inspector with West Yorkshire Police over his dealings with Jimmy Savile.
:11:22. > :11:25.It comes after the release of a transcript of a Surrey police
:11:26. > :11:26.interview with Savile in 2009. In it he was questioned about
:11:27. > :11:30.inappropriate relationships with young girls. Savile denied the
:11:31. > :11:33.allegations and said he had a collection of senior police officers
:11:34. > :11:45.who came to see him socially, and dealt with any letters he received
:11:46. > :11:50.alleging abuse. Because of who he was, they swept aside. It gets swept
:11:51. > :11:56.under the carpet occurs they were scared of him, the great Sir Jimmy.
:11:57. > :11:59.He could do no wrong. Sheffield Wednesday striker Gary Madine is
:12:00. > :12:02.appealing against his 18`month prison sentence for attacking two
:12:03. > :12:04.men in nightclubs. Earlier this month the 23`year`old was found
:12:05. > :12:08.guilty of both attacks which happened in Sheffield city centre in
:12:09. > :12:11.February and March last year. A new major crime unit has been opened
:12:12. > :12:14.today by North Yorkshire Police. 31 officers will work from Harrogate
:12:15. > :12:18.Police station investigating murders, serious violence and sexual
:12:19. > :12:21.attacks. They'll also review unsolved cases like the
:12:22. > :12:27.disappearance of Marsha Wray from Harrogate in 1997. A new appeal has
:12:28. > :12:37.been launched today for information about what happened to her.
:12:38. > :12:43.Previously, if there were incidents on the weekend, we had to crowd
:12:44. > :12:46.resources, people who had different skill sets. This provides us with a
:12:47. > :12:52.good dynamic dedicated resource which can respond with expertise and
:12:53. > :12:56.skill which the people would expect in place in the 21st century. The
:12:57. > :12:59.latest jobs figures now and unemployment in Yorkshire has fallen
:13:00. > :13:02.this month, in line with the national trend. Figures for the
:13:03. > :13:05.three`month period between June and August show that there were 242
:13:06. > :13:08.thousand people without a job in Yorkshire and the Humber. That's
:13:09. > :13:11.6,000 fewer than the previous month. It means our unemployment rate has
:13:12. > :13:16.fallen slightly to 8.8%, but that remains the third highest in the
:13:17. > :13:20.country. One company who'd love to see those
:13:21. > :13:25.figures fall further is Leeds luxury lingerie firm, Something Wicked.
:13:26. > :13:28.That's because they're got orders for underwear from around the world,
:13:29. > :13:32.but can't find the skilled machinists they need to make them.
:13:33. > :13:37.Their designer's made pants for American pop star Lady Gaga and The
:13:38. > :13:40.Sugarbabes. And the company's desperate to find seamstresses who
:13:41. > :13:48.can keep the orders flowing. Charlotte Leeming's been to see what
:13:49. > :13:51.they're looking for. In an unassuming room in Leeds, a
:13:52. > :13:57.small team is busy cutting, selling and stitching. With no fuss or
:13:58. > :14:01.fanfare and the parent of the machines, it is hard to believe this
:14:02. > :14:05.business is taking on the big fashion houses of Europe in
:14:06. > :14:10.manufacturing upmarket underwear. But the luxury laundry is being worn
:14:11. > :14:15.by some of the most famous women in the world. Lady Gaga and Beyonce are
:14:16. > :14:20.two of the stars who snapped up smalls something wicked. Despite
:14:21. > :14:24.this company receiving enquiries from all over the world, they are
:14:25. > :14:28.facing a big problem and that means they are turning orders down. These
:14:29. > :14:33.bras and pants are made from expensive materials, some items
:14:34. > :14:39.itself a hundreds of pounds but the firm is struggling to find machinist
:14:40. > :14:42.with the skills to make them. We are looking for someone with experience
:14:43. > :14:51.and passion to create something beautiful. Every piece has to be of
:14:52. > :14:56.the highest quality. We need the motivation to do that, create
:14:57. > :15:00.something time and time again. Most diverse when we are buying underwear
:15:01. > :15:06.get it off the high street and it doesn't cost much. What makes this
:15:07. > :15:11.so expensive? It is luxury in terms of the materials. With leather is
:15:12. > :15:20.Japanese and it is a by`product of the cow which produces reef. We use
:15:21. > :15:25.chantilly lace and chiffon. We use the best materials and it is
:15:26. > :15:29.handmade. The husband and wife team admit they are being suffered ``
:15:30. > :15:33.fussy for new staff that only the best will do. They are addressing
:15:34. > :15:46.some of the most desirable bottoms in the world!
:15:47. > :15:49.They are too hot for me! And tomorrow we'll be revisiting three
:15:50. > :15:52.people we've been following in their search for jobs. Six months ago
:15:53. > :15:55.Chris Smith, Timothy Hall and Natalie Hick were unemployed and
:15:56. > :15:57.despondent. We'll find out if they're still struggling or if
:15:58. > :15:59.they're some of those helping bringing yorkshire's unemployment
:16:00. > :16:03.rate down. Before seven o'clock: Flash, Bang,
:16:04. > :16:08.Wallop! We're joined by Tommy Steele ahead of his appearance as Scrooge
:16:09. > :16:11.in Leeds very soon. Tinkling the ivories ` the Yorkshire
:16:12. > :16:21.piano makers beating Far East firms in manufacturing prowess.
:16:22. > :16:26.It boasted the first food court in the UK, the first glass wall`climber
:16:27. > :16:29.lift and was designed so shoppers could enter it from the street on
:16:30. > :16:38.all levels. Tomorrow Wakefield's pioneering Ridings Shopping Centre
:16:39. > :16:42.celebrates its 30th birthday. It was to become a model that would be
:16:43. > :16:45.copied by towns and cities all over the UK. But recently competition's
:16:46. > :16:53.increased and times have been tough with some traders leaving. Ian White
:16:54. > :17:02.reports. When it opened in 1983, there was no
:17:03. > :17:06.place like it. The Ridings in Wakefield was a UK first, a new
:17:07. > :17:10.shopping experience based on an American shopping maul.
:17:11. > :17:15.It bought features in never seen in the UK before. The other centres
:17:16. > :17:20.followed suit. It was a good commercial success. In tough times,
:17:21. > :17:22.they queued around the block around the job centre for the vacancies at
:17:23. > :17:25.the Ridings. The finished building was like
:17:26. > :17:31.something never seen before. Complete with glass lift.
:17:32. > :17:36.The glass lift is long gone, it is a thing of the past but I've found
:17:37. > :17:41.something interesting. There are still people who work here who were
:17:42. > :17:45.here 30 years ago and I've met one of them.
:17:46. > :17:51.I remember coming to work in a Portakabin on the building site when
:17:52. > :17:57.the excavation started. It was hugely exciting, we have loyal
:17:58. > :18:02.customers, people who still love to come here and we try to keep things
:18:03. > :18:06.fresh and interesting. The last few years have been tough with big names
:18:07. > :18:13.leaving and moving to the new shopping complex Trinity walk.
:18:14. > :18:17.It has been trying. It is a difficult market, everybody knows
:18:18. > :18:24.that. We are trying to bring extra things here but we only have six
:18:25. > :18:31.vacant units. We are doing much better than the high street. What do
:18:32. > :18:41.shoppers think? It is handy, the car park is there. It needs upgrading.
:18:42. > :18:48.It used to amaze me when people came on bus trips here. It is not even
:18:49. > :18:55.that big. What started in Wakefield in 1983 has since been copied in
:18:56. > :19:00.towns all over Europe. Fantastic old footage. The trees
:19:01. > :19:07.brought in from Florida. That wouldn't happen now. The build up to
:19:08. > :19:10.the Rugby League World Cup continued today when a school in Doncaster got
:19:11. > :19:13.a flavour of the south seas. Children from Norton Primary School
:19:14. > :19:17.performed the Haka in front of visiting players from New Zealand
:19:18. > :19:20.and the Cook Islands. The two teams face each other in a friendly at the
:19:21. > :19:23.Keepmoat in Doncaster on Sunday. The rugby players returned the
:19:24. > :19:26.traditional Maori war cry before heading off to prepare for the
:19:27. > :19:34.match. It was wonderful. They this spent
:19:35. > :19:40.time practising, the teacher said they learned about the history and
:19:41. > :19:48.the lads were touched it. Yes, really good. It is a privilege to be
:19:49. > :19:53.doing it and watching them do it. A well spoken chap! Little white bull,
:19:54. > :19:57.singing the blues ` he has been a legend for over 50 years in show
:19:58. > :20:00.business. Indeed he was once described as Britain's answer to
:20:01. > :20:07.Elvis Presley. Tommy Steele is back in Yorkshire and still wowing
:20:08. > :20:12.audiences at the age of over 60! That is very nice of you! You know
:20:13. > :20:15.him as the star of musicals such as Half A Sixpence and Singin' in the
:20:16. > :20:19.Rain. And now he's taking on the title role in Scrooge The Musical at
:20:20. > :20:24.the Leeds Grand Theatre. We'll be speaking to him in a moment but
:20:25. > :20:33.first, here he is in action. # Half a sixpence is better than half
:20:34. > :20:44.shilling? Better than half a? Penny. Better than none.
:20:45. > :20:54.Tommy, welcome back to Yorkshire. You have been visiting family in
:20:55. > :21:00.Harehills. Harehills. It is wonderful to be back. I don't know
:21:01. > :21:08.why but it always rains when I come to Yorkshire. Unless I was watching
:21:09. > :21:17.a football match, the first division. We won't go into that. How
:21:18. > :21:22.challenging is the new musical? The best way you could call it is a song
:21:23. > :21:28.and dance man King Lear. You have to be a certain age to play King Lear,
:21:29. > :21:36.with Scrooge it is the same thing. Song and dance but at my age, it
:21:37. > :21:42.works very well. It is nice to see the old geezer going around the
:21:43. > :21:47.stage singing and dancing. You are normally the cheeky chappie lovable
:21:48. > :21:56.rogue so to play this role, ten years off and on, it is a miserable
:21:57. > :22:02.`` he is a miserable chap. Humbug! The producer took me out for a meal
:22:03. > :22:10.and said I have a great new musical for you, a Christmas Carol. I said,
:22:11. > :22:19.Bill, I am too old to play Bob Cratchit. He said, no, Scrooge!
:22:20. > :22:26.Made, and old man? Are you out of your mind? I am 65 years of age, of
:22:27. > :22:32.course I can play it. There was trepidation in rehearsals. But now
:22:33. > :22:39.he is my best friend. You love being on stage. That is
:22:40. > :22:45.what engages the audience. I do. I love it and I love them and
:22:46. > :22:51.I love orchestras and great songs and dance routines. I love beautiful
:22:52. > :22:54.stories and they are rare in someone's career but I have been
:22:55. > :23:02.lucky enough to be given great shows. This is one of them.
:23:03. > :23:10.You were a heart`throb and you still have it! Good luck with the show!
:23:11. > :23:14.Crawling. It's an industry in which Britain once dominated the world.
:23:15. > :23:17.Pianos were made at over two hundred factories around the country. Now
:23:18. > :23:21.just one remains. Hidden in the Yorkshire Dales ` Cavendish produce
:23:22. > :23:23.just fifty of the instruments a year but, they're now getting
:23:24. > :23:26.international recognition with orders from China and a chance at
:23:27. > :23:29.winning the most prestigious competition in the industry. Joe
:23:30. > :23:42.Inwood went to just what makes them so special.
:23:43. > :23:47.It is time`consuming, skilful, aircraft dating back hundreds of
:23:48. > :23:52.years. It has been a dying art but one being brought back to life in
:23:53. > :23:57.the Yorkshire Dales. We have gone from strength to
:23:58. > :24:05.strength. There is a waiting list, it is a hand produced ides. We are
:24:06. > :24:11.small Artisans working slowly to produce finely tuned instruments.
:24:12. > :24:17.It is a far cry from the way most demos are made. China and Japan lead
:24:18. > :24:30.the market. Compare that Cavendish who make just 50. But small, they
:24:31. > :24:34.say, can sound beautiful. The process of being a musician is
:24:35. > :24:40.emotional and takes time, effort and skill. It is equally rewarding to
:24:41. > :24:43.know I am playing an instrument which has been crafted and
:24:44. > :24:47.Manufacturing to a high specification.
:24:48. > :24:53.And those qualities are being recognised with a nomination for a
:24:54. > :24:58.music industry award as the worlds best acoustic piano.
:24:59. > :25:02.The other pianos are large, multinational corporations, we are
:25:03. > :25:08.the first British piano to feature in the awards which is great for us
:25:09. > :25:14.and the music industry and for piano building in the UK because we hope
:25:15. > :25:21.we are the first of many piano manufacturers.
:25:22. > :25:24.And so if the glory days of British pianos return, it will have started
:25:25. > :25:40.at a family firm from the Dales. Wonderful stuff. Are you musical?
:25:41. > :25:45.No, I played the guitar but I broke my finger in crickets before the
:25:46. > :25:54.exam. I played the triangle, that is how
:25:55. > :25:56.much they trusted me. A beautiful sunrise in Filey. That
:25:57. > :26:03.was taken at 7am. A beautiful sunrise in Filey. That
:26:04. > :26:12.was I think that is nice. A bit of colour. Keep your pictures coming
:26:13. > :26:17.in. Tomorrow, the best day of the week, brighter with sunny spells but
:26:18. > :26:23.only because we are in between weather systems. The next feature
:26:24. > :26:28.will bring rain later in the day on Friday so wet but tomorrow looks
:26:29. > :26:33.brighter with sunshine. The active weather front brought miserable
:26:34. > :26:37.weather, it is clearing from the South West, Cloud bringing rain
:26:38. > :26:44.across the West and North of Yorkshire. Showers follow in from
:26:45. > :26:53.the west, a strong and gusty wind for a time, lowest temperatures
:26:54. > :27:01.eight or nine degrees Celsius. The sun rises at 7:37am. A bright start
:27:02. > :27:07.in Filey with sunshine, further west, showers over the Pennines
:27:08. > :27:15.fading and the many bright mostly dry with an increasing amount of
:27:16. > :27:23.sunshine. A tonic compared to today. Temperatures are a little above
:27:24. > :27:28.average for October. Further ahead, Friday looks cloudy, rain later and
:27:29. > :27:34.the weekend, sunny spells and scattered showers.
:27:35. > :27:41.That is as far as we go. We told you about Knaresborough and
:27:42. > :27:43.we are sending news teams there. All of the information at 10:25pm. Good
:27:44. > :28:13.night. You ask us to get behind you
:28:14. > :28:15.and why should we? You're punching above
:28:16. > :28:17.your weight, aren't you? He wouldn't do that to me because
:28:18. > :28:24.he wasn't that sort of a man.
