:00:00. > :00:00.pretty soggy. Thank you. That is all from the BBC. We
:00:00. > :00:11.Welcome to Tuesday's Look North. Tonight: What a dump! Who'd want to
:00:12. > :00:14.live near a rubbish heap like this? Fly`tippers blight a South Yorkshire
:00:15. > :00:19.village. We hear from horrified local residents.
:00:20. > :00:27.Also tonight: The death of a miner at Kellingley Colliery two years ago
:00:28. > :00:38.leads to a ?300,000 fine. It will never be a laugh for a
:00:39. > :00:42.life, will it? But it is a fine that has been imposed, that is their
:00:43. > :00:44.punishment for Wildlife wonder ` the award`winning shot which means a
:00:45. > :00:50.Scarborough photographer's now one of the best in the world.
:00:51. > :00:54.What has gone on. And eventually the sunshine did come out here in
:00:55. > :01:02.Harrogate this afternoon. I will be back later with your full forecast.
:01:03. > :01:07.Tonight ` the fly`tipping branded a health hazard, as well as blight on
:01:08. > :01:11.the landscape. Rotting food, household waste and soiled nappies
:01:12. > :01:16.have been dumped alongside old settees in the former mining village
:01:17. > :01:20.of Goldthorpe in South Yorkshire. Residents on Railway View say the
:01:21. > :01:24.stench from fly`tipped waste is anti`social and is attracting vermin
:01:25. > :01:32.to the area. Barnsley Council estimates it could take weeks to
:01:33. > :01:38.clear and cost up to ?90,000. A filthy pile of rotting fly
:01:39. > :01:43.infested household waste. This could the atypical council controlled
:01:44. > :01:48.rubbish dump, but it's not. In fact, this stinking embankment is just a
:01:49. > :01:55.few metres away from family homes and a school in a former Yorkshire
:01:56. > :02:00.mining village. Despite the threat or five years in prison and
:02:01. > :02:07.unlimited fines, that doesn't seem to have put people off using this
:02:08. > :02:11.old railway cutting as an unofficial dumping ground for their household
:02:12. > :02:16.waste. The problem, according to people living nearby, comes from fly
:02:17. > :02:23.tipping. That is dumping waste illegally. People we spoke to were
:02:24. > :02:29.nervous to appear on camera for fear of being targeted by fly tippers.
:02:30. > :02:35.They believe it has become so bad, it now poses a risk to public
:02:36. > :02:40.health. I get that in my garden. My cats bring rats in. People come
:02:41. > :02:43.during the day and night and just throw it. If you complain, what is
:02:44. > :02:48.the reaction? Name`calling. I blame the council and people. Black sacks,
:02:49. > :02:56.dirty nappies, mattresses, anything. Barnsley council says it
:02:57. > :03:02.is working to find a permanent solution to the problem. We are
:03:03. > :03:08.looking at ?95,000 to clear this up. It is something we really are
:03:09. > :03:15.relying on the public to tell us who is doing it, when it is happening,
:03:16. > :03:20.see if we can get hold of who is responsible for this.
:03:21. > :03:27.We have found dirty nappies, broken bottles, and even pieces of
:03:28. > :03:34.household furniture. There is quite a strong smell, and there are lots
:03:35. > :03:39.of flies everywhere. Not to mention the problem of rats.
:03:40. > :03:44.Residents are calling for the cutting to be cleared and properly
:03:45. > :03:46.fenced off. Their theory is that there is an increasing risk to
:03:47. > :03:51.public health. In this case, the council's said it
:03:52. > :03:55.will clear up the mess. In other cases it is not so clear cut. Tom
:03:56. > :03:59.Pickering runs a waste disposal and specialist clearance company in
:04:00. > :04:04.Sheffield. He joins us now. How familiar are scenes like this to
:04:05. > :04:10.you? It is definitely the worst we have seen. ?95,000 is the estimate.
:04:11. > :04:18.It has grown over a period of time. It could be months, it could be
:04:19. > :04:22.longer. What about the risk to public health? Local residents say
:04:23. > :04:28.there is a risk because their children in the area. Definitely,
:04:29. > :04:35.there is a risk. Once starts rotting, it becomes biohazard waste,
:04:36. > :04:40.which is a hazard and attracts rats and foxes. Of course there is broken
:04:41. > :04:46.glass as well. For children playing in the area, that is a problem.
:04:47. > :04:52.Definitely. Is this a problem that is increasing? Definitely, but not
:04:53. > :04:57.on that scale. It should have been cleared up before it got to that
:04:58. > :05:03.scale. Smaller fly tips are definitely more common. What sort of
:05:04. > :05:10.scenes do you come across typically? You say this is exceptional, but it
:05:11. > :05:16.is clearly on the increase. What can be done? The typical ones tend to be
:05:17. > :05:21.broken furniture. A lot of it is people wanting to get rid of waste
:05:22. > :05:24.cheaply. A paper trail is always needed, which covers the customer
:05:25. > :05:30.and puts responsibility with the person taking the waste. Thank you
:05:31. > :05:33.for coming in. We've had lots of comments of our
:05:34. > :06:03.Facebook page. Amanda Turner makes the point:
:06:04. > :06:10.Keep your comments coming. You can post a comment on our Facebook page
:06:11. > :06:19.at BBC Look North Yorkshire or you can send us an email.
:06:20. > :06:22.Also tonight, the family of a miner who died after a roof collapse at
:06:23. > :06:26.Kellingley Colliery, say justice has been done. Gerry Gibson from
:06:27. > :06:31.Sherburn in Elmet died in the accident two years ago. The UK Coal
:06:32. > :06:34.Mining Company ` which is now in administration ` was today fined
:06:35. > :06:41.?200,000, after admitting a number of serious safety failings. Emma
:06:42. > :06:44.Glasbey was in court. Gerry Gibson was working underground
:06:45. > :06:49.on the afternoon shift here at Kellingley in September 2011. The
:06:50. > :06:55.roof suddenly collapsed and he was buried under 15 tonnes of rubble.
:06:56. > :07:07.His death was described today as tragic and preventable. The widow
:07:08. > :07:14.and son of Gerry Gibson. They came to court today to see the format UK
:07:15. > :07:20.Coal Mining Company find for the safety failings that led to his
:07:21. > :07:25.death. He was a week away from his 50th birthday. The roof at
:07:26. > :07:30.Kellingley Colliery collapsed on him 800 metres underground, killing him
:07:31. > :07:35.instantly. Miners used their bare hands to get to him with no thoughts
:07:36. > :07:40.for their own safety. Just days before the accident, there had been
:07:41. > :07:47.another roof collapse. It was in the same location. Today, administrators
:07:48. > :07:53.for UK Coal were fined ?200,000. It will never be enough for a life,
:07:54. > :08:00.will it, but it is a fine that has been imposed. It is this sentence,
:08:01. > :08:06.that is their punishment. We heard about the effort that Jerry's
:08:07. > :08:11.colleagues went through to get to him. That must have been emotional
:08:12. > :08:17.to listen to. Yes, it is difficult to listen to, how the men struggled
:08:18. > :08:22.with their bare hands to free him. But in that situation, you would not
:08:23. > :08:28.do much else. There was another fine of ?50,000 for an explosion at
:08:29. > :08:35.Headingley in November 2010. No one was injured, but the judge at Leeds
:08:36. > :08:39.Crown Court said UK Coal had a poor record. Gerry Gibson's death was the
:08:40. > :08:47.seventh fatal accident in five years that had led to UK Coal appearing in
:08:48. > :08:52.court, and he was the third man to die as a result of a collapse.
:08:53. > :09:00.Mining is a hazardous industry. But if the right proportions are taken,
:09:01. > :09:05.risks are assessed wobbly, there is no reason why people should get
:09:06. > :09:09.injured in mining. Gerry Gibson was an experienced and careful minor.
:09:10. > :09:13.The court was told that if he had known the full details of the roof
:09:14. > :09:17.collapse in Kellingley days earlier, he would never have been working in
:09:18. > :09:20.that area, and his death could have been prevented.
:09:21. > :09:23.The court heard today that because UK Coal is in administration the
:09:24. > :09:27.fine could have an impact on fuel allowances for retired miners. This
:09:28. > :09:30.is what the National Union of Miners had to say to me outside Leeds Crown
:09:31. > :09:35.Court earlier. Concessionary fuel allowances have
:09:36. > :09:41.been suspended for retired and we don't employees of UK Coal, so
:09:42. > :09:49.ironically, the amount of money left to share out amongst creditors will
:09:50. > :09:54.be reduced if this find is taken out of it. In effect, it is a sad
:09:55. > :09:58.indictment that Brenda will be paying a fine that has been imposed
:09:59. > :10:00.on the company that killed her husband.
:10:01. > :10:04.Well, the National Union of Miners is fighting for the Government to
:10:05. > :10:07.pay for the fuel allowances. Later on Look North: One to watch!
:10:08. > :10:13.The Sheffield student taking the world by storm as a top
:10:14. > :10:17.international trampolinist. More news from around Yorkshire now
:10:18. > :10:20.and the 32`year`old woman, who was murdered in York on Sunday evening,
:10:21. > :10:23.has now been formally identified as Nicole Waterhouse. Police inquiries
:10:24. > :10:26.are continuing tonight. Ms Waterhouse worked for her father's
:10:27. > :10:32.estate agent business in the city. Her body was discovered in an
:10:33. > :10:36.apartment in Phoenix Boulevard. A second woman, 23`year`old Karen
:10:37. > :10:40.Browne was also found injured. She's still critically ill in hospital. A
:10:41. > :10:46.25`year`old man, arrested at a flat in the centre of York, is still
:10:47. > :10:49.being questioned. The department store John Lewis has
:10:50. > :10:54.announced it will be recruiting 300 new staff in York. Building work on
:10:55. > :10:57.the new store at the Monks Cross development is already underway.
:10:58. > :11:01.It's expected to open next Spring. The first 100 vacancies are being
:11:02. > :11:03.recruited at the moment, with another 200 due to be advertised
:11:04. > :11:07.next month. Cannabis plants worth ?89,000 have
:11:08. > :11:11.been seized by police in South Yorkshire after "scratch and sniff"
:11:12. > :11:15.cards replicating the smell of the drug were distributed to households
:11:16. > :11:19.in the county. 15 arrests were made as a result of tip offs to the
:11:20. > :11:22.charity Crimestoppers after the cards were handed out. The cards
:11:23. > :11:26.contain a chemical which smells the same as cannabis plants when they
:11:27. > :11:35.are growing, helping people to identify any farms near them.
:11:36. > :11:39.A man in his 60s has been killed in a crash on the M1 in Leeds. The
:11:40. > :11:42.accident involving a van and Chevrolet car happened this
:11:43. > :11:46.lunchtime on the northbound carriageway at junction 42. A female
:11:47. > :11:58.passenger in the car also suffered serious injuries. Police are
:11:59. > :12:03.appealing for witnesses. Now, we hear a lot about the legacy
:12:04. > :12:07.of the 2012 London Olympics. Well, for one man who now lives in
:12:08. > :12:11.Sheffield, the games have given him a whole new life. Serge Ambomo came
:12:12. > :12:16.to Britain as part of the Cameroon boxing team but refused to go home
:12:17. > :12:21.as he feared he would not be safe. His attack has been relentless. A
:12:22. > :12:30.good right hand. Serge Ambomo would go on to you lose his opening bout,
:12:31. > :12:37.but his efforts in the UK went outside the UK boxing ring. Along
:12:38. > :12:43.with four other members of the UK boxing team, he left the athletes
:12:44. > :12:51.village and disappeared into London. More than a year later, he is in
:12:52. > :12:54.Sheffield will stop his plea for asylum was accepted as officials
:12:55. > :12:58.were persuaded he was at risk of persecution if he went home. He says
:12:59. > :13:04.the Cameron government and Olympic coaches made threats against him and
:13:05. > :13:10.the other boxers. He was sent to South Yorkshire while his asylum
:13:11. > :13:15.case was considered, and was later introduced to the Sheffield boxing
:13:16. > :13:21.centre. The code says the gym has taken him to his heart. Got to know
:13:22. > :13:27.him, watched him train. He looks intimidating but he is one of the
:13:28. > :13:29.funniest guys I have ever met. He is in the gym every day, training very
:13:30. > :13:46.hard. Fellow boxers had a whip round so he
:13:47. > :13:51.could apply for a British boxing license. If approved, he will have
:13:52. > :13:54.his first professional fight in Sheffield next month. A chance to
:13:55. > :13:59.start his career again, having already started a new life.
:14:00. > :14:04.What a turnaround for him. I would not want to take him on!
:14:05. > :14:08.It's a big day tomorrow for the Tour de France. They'll be announcing the
:14:09. > :14:12.final details of the route, including exactly where the Grand
:14:13. > :14:16.Depart will go in Yorkshire. The world's media is already gathering
:14:17. > :14:20.in Paris to hear the news and Look North will be there too. In the
:14:21. > :14:23.meantime, businesses are preparing for a bonanza. Cathy Killick reports
:14:24. > :14:32.from Harrogate, a town all set to celebrate the arrival of the yellow
:14:33. > :14:40.jersey in its own blooming style. The grey skies and autumnal tints of
:14:41. > :14:47.October may dominate these gardens at the moment, but the garden has
:14:48. > :14:53.already got next July in its size. They are planning yellow planting in
:14:54. > :15:00.honour of the yellow jersey, and they want us all to join in and turn
:15:01. > :15:06.Yorkshire yellow. Now is the time to plan. You need to plan ahead in a
:15:07. > :15:12.garden. Look at your containers for next year. Perhaps window boxes and
:15:13. > :15:17.planters around the house. We are actually doing some annual planting
:15:18. > :15:23.said there will be met a planting instead of lawns. Here is some
:15:24. > :15:31.inspiration for you. There are plenty of gold and choices in the
:15:32. > :15:38.plant world. They are nicely at this hotel. Like all hotels in
:15:39. > :15:43.Harrogate, they are gearing up for peak occupancy. Looking at all
:15:44. > :15:48.hotels are already at 90%, despite top rate rises. But hoteliers they
:15:49. > :15:53.want to put people off. It is about striking a balance. We're not making
:15:54. > :16:00.a killing. Yes, make a while the sunshine is, but we are certainly
:16:01. > :16:07.not hiking prices above what we normally do. So, what has Rugby got
:16:08. > :16:13.to do with the tour? Not much, but the pitch has. In July, this will be
:16:14. > :16:18.a campsite as the club takes advantage of relaxed planning laws
:16:19. > :16:22.that will allow land along the route to take intense, caravans and
:16:23. > :16:30.motorhomes. If we get the numbers we are expecting, it will be worth it.
:16:31. > :16:35.We have got a lot of green areas around Harrogate. You can't use
:16:36. > :16:40.those areas for camping. Our ground will be the closest one to the
:16:41. > :16:44.centre of town. The tour is an extraordinary event. The French
:16:45. > :16:47.aren't the only ones who can put on a show. Eight months to go,
:16:48. > :16:50.Harrogate is getting ready to paint the town yellow.
:16:51. > :16:54.Well, tomorrow we'll be live from Paris, and one of the villages on
:16:55. > :17:00.the route which is already gearing up for the tour.
:17:01. > :17:03.Before seven o'clock: Ticking away ` a celebration of Leeds' clockmaking
:17:04. > :17:08.heritage as the Potts company timepieces go on display. And, one
:17:09. > :17:10.of Yorkshire's best wildlife photographers is named as one of the
:17:11. > :17:26.best in the world. A student from Sheffield is taking
:17:27. > :17:30.the world by storm, making a name for herself as a top international
:17:31. > :17:34.trampolinist. Bryony Page has just taken Gold at the World Cup in
:17:35. > :17:38.Denmark beating off tough competition from Olympic gymnasts.
:17:39. > :17:43.Her success came as a bit of a surprise as she wasn't expecting to
:17:44. > :17:47.do so well. She's now training every day and hopes to make it into Team
:17:48. > :17:57.GB for the next Olympics. Ian White's been to meet her.
:17:58. > :18:04.Meet Bryony Page. 22 years old, a student at Sheffield University, and
:18:05. > :18:11.now a gold medal winning trampoline is. She has just beaten the Olympic
:18:12. > :18:19.champion at the World Cup competition in Denmark. I didn't
:18:20. > :18:29.expect to win in Denmark. I finished my routine, I was pleased with how
:18:30. > :18:35.it had gone, and I just sat down and watch the other competitors. I
:18:36. > :18:42.didn't even think to look at the scoreboard until my friend finished,
:18:43. > :18:47.and she said look at the scoreboard, you have overtaken the
:18:48. > :18:52.Olympic champion. What is going on? It was a big deal for me. It has
:18:53. > :18:56.been a remarkable achievement for Bryony, fitting in her training
:18:57. > :19:01.around her biology studies. Her work here is complete contrast to what
:19:02. > :19:05.she does in the gym. I chose biology as it is completely different to
:19:06. > :19:11.trampolining. So I would have different aspects of my life. She
:19:12. > :19:15.trains most days with coach Paul Greaves, and he knows she is
:19:16. > :19:21.special. She can do a triple twisting double back somersault, and
:19:22. > :19:24.is the first woman last year he was able to do it. She compete in an
:19:25. > :19:30.international circuit where there are only five people in the `` five
:19:31. > :19:35.women in the world who can do that skill. She hopes to compete in the
:19:36. > :19:40.Olympics in Rio in 2016. Doesn't time fly when you're having
:19:41. > :19:47.fun? The clock is ticking, and we only have a few minutes left to tell
:19:48. > :19:51.you about our next story. Leeds was at the forefront of clock making in
:19:52. > :19:55.the 19th century, and now a new exhibition has brought many of those
:19:56. > :20:00.ancient timepieces back to the city. The elegant and intricate inner
:20:01. > :20:07.workings of eight pots clock. Engineered more than a century ago,
:20:08. > :20:13.and still keeping time. Now, 24 that were in a private collection of
:20:14. > :20:19.backing Leeds. All they need is winding once a day. They are all
:20:20. > :20:25.about quality. Look at the woodwork around the clock faces, the way the
:20:26. > :20:31.panels are painted, the way the hands are made. Everything is about
:20:32. > :20:36.quality. They are all on the civic buildings, on the churches. You
:20:37. > :20:41.taken for granted, the chiming. I didn't this company made all the
:20:42. > :20:46.clocks. Potts soon became the North's eminent clockmaker. The vast
:20:47. > :20:52.majority of clocks in Yorkshire were made by the firm, and in West
:20:53. > :20:56.Yorks, nearly every outside clock is a Potts. In Otley the marketplace
:20:57. > :21:04.clock is a Potts. The giant hands tell the time for generations. You'd
:21:05. > :21:14.realise just how big these clocks are when you get back down to ground
:21:15. > :21:19.level. You can tell this is a Potts one because of the club on the end
:21:20. > :21:22.of the hour hand. That was the company's trademark. Which makes
:21:23. > :21:28.clock spotting a bit easier. This one ended up in South America. So,
:21:29. > :21:33.Potts clocks ended up all over the world, but in Leeds they are
:21:34. > :21:45.everywhere. Yes, even in schools. You can see it says Leeds. So this
:21:46. > :21:50.was in a school? Yes, this came from the Royal Park School in Hyde Park.
:21:51. > :22:00.It is about turn`of`the`century. It would have been in the main hall or
:22:01. > :22:07.one of the main corridors. Potts put Leeds at the centre of British clock
:22:08. > :22:12.making, but the firm closed in the 1960s. The clocks, though, keep
:22:13. > :22:20.ticking, a daily reminder of one of Yorkshire's forgotten trades.
:22:21. > :22:23.He's already known as one of Yorkshire's best wildlife
:22:24. > :22:28.photographers but now Steve Race from Scarborough has been named as
:22:29. > :22:31.one of the best in the world. At an awards ceremony, described as the
:22:32. > :22:35.profession's equivalent to the Oscars, an image captured by Steve
:22:36. > :22:39.was selected out of 46,000 entries from all over the world. Phil
:22:40. > :22:49.Connell has been to meet him on the North York Moors.
:22:50. > :22:57.For any wildlife photographer, it is the early bird who catches the one.
:22:58. > :23:00.Steve Race often starts work at 5am, the best time of day to capture
:23:01. > :23:15.his award`winning pictures. It is the hours of being outdoors in
:23:16. > :23:20.a wild space and sitting for a while, quietly, and just seeing what
:23:21. > :23:26.comes across your path. It is this unusual image of two gannets that
:23:27. > :23:31.has brought his talent to the attention of the world. At an awards
:23:32. > :23:37.night in London, the industry's equivalent of the Oscars, the
:23:38. > :23:42.photograph was chosen out of 46,000 worldwide entries, with Steve Race
:23:43. > :23:48.just one of six Britons to be commended. To get this true special
:23:49. > :23:56.moment of them offering the flowers to each other, and for the necklace
:23:57. > :24:00.to actually go around the neck of the bird, for me was exceptional. I
:24:01. > :24:07.have had sheer silence because people look at it and think that is
:24:08. > :24:11.truly special. To see these birds interacting through that image is
:24:12. > :24:18.fantastic. Steve's interest in wildlife began at the age of ten. 36
:24:19. > :24:24.years later, hundreds of special moments have now been captured on
:24:25. > :24:30.his camera. It could be instant, or it could be spending a lot of time.
:24:31. > :24:35.But when you capture that special image, you just know. You look at it
:24:36. > :24:40.and think, that is the one. Steve's image is now part of a
:24:41. > :24:43.touring expedition. He is already looking for that next magic moment.
:24:44. > :24:48.They are really quite extraordinary. We've got some more intriguing
:24:49. > :24:52.pictures next. A pair of unlikely friends trying to escape the
:24:53. > :24:55.confines of their owner's kitchen, which has been watched more than
:24:56. > :24:59.400,000 times on the internet. Dexter the cat, and his dog friend
:25:00. > :25:04.Gizmo, were shut in the kitchen at owner Matt Hurst's home in Sheffield
:25:05. > :25:08.every morning when he left for work. After finding them in the rest of
:25:09. > :25:12.the house for three days running, he set up a camera to find out how they
:25:13. > :25:28.were making their escape. Hey presto! How clever are they?
:25:29. > :25:36.My grandma's cat used to be able to open the door handles by jumping up,
:25:37. > :25:51.so they turned them all upside down. The weather has been a bit grotty,
:25:52. > :25:58.but there are some beautiful autumnal colours out there. This is
:25:59. > :26:06.autumn at Chatsworth house. These were all taken this afternoon.
:26:07. > :26:11.It has been a particularly mild day today. Temperatures reached 17
:26:12. > :26:16.degrees in places. Another mild night as well. Tomorrow, the rain
:26:17. > :26:31.will turn more showery through the course of the day. Very unsettled
:26:32. > :26:37.weather over the next few days. We had some decent spells of whether
:26:38. > :26:42.through this afternoon, but there are still some showers out there.
:26:43. > :26:46.Really quite wet night. Those showers will merge into a longer
:26:47. > :26:50.spell of rain which will spread eastwards. Some very heavy, possibly
:26:51. > :26:52.thundery downpours. But a mild night with temperatures staying in double
:26:53. > :27:02.figures. The sun will rise at 7:48am. There
:27:03. > :27:08.will be a fair amount of spray on the roads if you are out in the rush
:27:09. > :27:15.hour tomorrow, and further spells of rainfall a time. We will see an
:27:16. > :27:20.improvement to the day. Still the risk of a few showers to the
:27:21. > :27:25.afternoon, but some pleasant spells of sunshine in between. Not as mild
:27:26. > :27:30.as today but still a little above average at 14 or 15 degrees. As
:27:31. > :27:35.promised, Thursday looks to be a decent day. Chilly overnight into
:27:36. > :27:38.Thursday, and a decent day. Unsettled again overnight and into
:27:39. > :27:47.Friday. At the moment, Saturday doesn't look too bad. One to watch.
:27:48. > :27:50.That is all from us. Goodbye.
