:00:32. > :00:35.Good evening and welcome to Thursday's Look North. On the
:00:36. > :00:41.programme: Barnsley's MP takes up the cudgels about cigarette
:00:42. > :00:44.packaging. He says: make it less appealing to youngsters.
:00:45. > :00:46.Also tonight: It's been a decade of painstaking work.
:00:47. > :00:49.And meet Yorkshire Wildlife Park's newest attraction ` an expensive
:00:50. > :01:02.addition proving the centre means business.
:01:03. > :01:05.Tonight ` new laws designed to put youngsters off smoking don't go far
:01:06. > :01:08.enough, according to one of South Yorkshire's MPs. Today in the
:01:09. > :01:14.Commons there were calls for plain packaging which would be less
:01:15. > :01:16.appealing to the young. Barnsley MP Dan Jarvis said "glamourous
:01:17. > :01:21.marketing" played a big part in encouraging people to buy.
:01:22. > :01:29.In Barnsley, one in four adults smoke. The town's also got one of
:01:30. > :01:36.the highest rates of lung cancer in the country. 283 people die there
:01:37. > :01:45.each year because of smoking related illnesses. And the cost to Barnsley
:01:46. > :01:47.alone amounts to a bill of ?7.5 million.
:01:48. > :01:50.Nationally, figures show around 50 young people start smoking every
:01:51. > :01:53.day. Danny Carpenter's been to Barnsley to see if changing
:01:54. > :01:56.cigarette packaging would put people off. This is a Government health
:01:57. > :02:02.warning about the dangers of smoking. When you smoke, the
:02:03. > :02:12.chemicals that you inhale cause mutations in your body. It pulls
:02:13. > :02:18.nope and she's. The Barnsley MP Dan Jarvis said the Government are not
:02:19. > :02:24.doing enough and wants cigarettes sold only in plain packaging. If the
:02:25. > :02:28.introduced standardised plain cigarette packaging, the evidence
:02:29. > :02:36.shows that fewer young people would take up smoking. But sadly the
:02:37. > :02:43.Government will not act, which is a mistake. In Barnsley, smoking
:02:44. > :02:51.remains popular. One in four adults smoke. These are cigarette packets
:02:52. > :02:57.with no colour or advertising. If these were in the shops, would you
:02:58. > :03:04.be less likely to buy them? Yes, less likely to buy them because it
:03:05. > :03:20.is just a plain box and stop if you cannot see it, you will not want it.
:03:21. > :03:29.The packaging appeals to me. Around 90% of people who begin smoking do
:03:30. > :03:36.so before the age of 19. Tobacco is a childhood addiction.
:03:37. > :03:45.It was about stopping people getting started smoking in the first place.
:03:46. > :03:50.In Australia they are trailing plain packaging for cigarettes and a
:03:51. > :03:51.spokesman told us that they were waiting for the results of that
:03:52. > :04:03.before making up their minds. Yorkshire Water are involved in a
:04:04. > :04:24.dispute about who owns pipes. These are the maps showing the
:04:25. > :04:28.complicated work that is being done to the pipework on the estate.
:04:29. > :04:34.Yorkshire Water has come up with a solution. It will not pay. Quite
:04:35. > :04:50.simply, it says it does not own the pipes. I am here in Mytholmroyd. As
:04:51. > :04:55.we will hear no, many see they do not have that money.
:04:56. > :05:02.Another unwanted water feature on this estate. Underground pipes are
:05:03. > :05:10.breaking up. Bill payers expected the supply to be fixed by Yorkshire
:05:11. > :05:13.Water but the company does not own the pipes, they belong to individual
:05:14. > :05:19.homes so each resident will have to be. We are angry because when we
:05:20. > :05:23.talk to Yorkshire Water they tell us it is a private pipe and that we as
:05:24. > :05:30.customers are nothing to do with them. The bill for each household
:05:31. > :05:37.will be between two and ?3000. For pensioners, it is a worrying figure.
:05:38. > :05:40.They make millions of pounds in profit and they are not contributing
:05:41. > :05:47.anything towards the problem that we have had on this estate for years.
:05:48. > :05:58.It is just `` I don't know where I will find the money. Last year the
:05:59. > :06:06.average Yorkshire Water customer paid ?356 for their water bill. The
:06:07. > :06:12.company made ?186 million in profit. The Chairman and Chief Executive for
:06:13. > :06:17.a paid over ?1 million. Dividends to shareholders went up to ?256
:06:18. > :06:22.million, more than four times what was paid in the previous year. At
:06:23. > :06:27.this consultation, the company made it clear that they will not pay
:06:28. > :06:30.because they do not own the pipes. The Mac a supply pipe is the
:06:31. > :06:35.responsibility of the person who owns that house, or in this case,
:06:36. > :06:45.this estate. We can give advice where possible, but it would be
:06:46. > :06:54.wrong for us to prepare this. `` repay this. This problem is not
:06:55. > :07:00.going away and it will not until it is agreement about whether
:07:01. > :07:11.homeowners should pay or whether the company should cough up.
:07:12. > :07:14.There may be a compromise between residents and Yorkshire Water, that
:07:15. > :07:28.is one of the things being discussed here tonight. Councillor, Simon Dunn
:07:29. > :07:32.represents this area. We're here today to ask Yorkshire Water to put
:07:33. > :07:40.?50,000 of cash into this project to enable us to go forward. The
:07:41. > :07:44.residents cannot afford to to ?3000. The cost of living, increases
:07:45. > :07:54.in in energy costs, increases in fuel bills etc, people cannot afford
:07:55. > :07:59.to pay less. Yorkshire Water say they have come up with the solution
:08:00. > :08:05.and that they do not own the pipes. You can see where they are coming
:08:06. > :08:08.from, it is not their problem. I accept that Yorkshire Water have no
:08:09. > :08:11.legal responsibility for these pipes but they do have a moral
:08:12. > :08:23.responsibility to help customers who have been paying their bills
:08:24. > :08:30.loyally. Neither side wants to pay, what'll happen? We will continue to
:08:31. > :08:35.work hard to find a permanent solution for this project, we are
:08:36. > :08:44.not giving up. Thank you for joining us. Some of the gardens on this
:08:45. > :08:50.estate will remain very wet for the next few months.
:08:51. > :09:06.Yorkshire Water has apologised for two maidens worst in York. `` to
:09:07. > :09:10.making supplies burst in York. It is one of the largest water mains in
:09:11. > :09:18.York. Later on Look North: How much does a
:09:19. > :09:26.tiger cost? The new addition to this wildlife Park.
:09:27. > :09:29.First tonight: doorstep mail deliveries on a Leeds housing estate
:09:30. > :09:33.restarted today after nearly a month. Postmen had been refusing to
:09:34. > :09:42.deliver after on the Greenthorpe Estate after two dog attacks in a
:09:43. > :09:45.matter of weeks. One postman had his finger bitten off. Fed up residents
:09:46. > :09:49.say they'd had to trek over a mile to the nearest depot. But Royal Mail
:09:50. > :09:51.said staff safety had to come first. Heidi Tomlinson reports. Safely
:09:52. > :09:55.behind bars. Noisy Rottweilers protecting their territory in this
:09:56. > :10:00.estate in Leeds. Royal mail cancelled all deliveries in this
:10:01. > :10:05.area because a dog attacked postmen. The post and was chased
:10:06. > :10:10.across the gardens and had to jump over fences to escape the dog, which
:10:11. > :10:18.pinned him against the wall. A second more tragic case, another
:10:19. > :10:21.postman was walking to deliver the mail to the house and put his hand
:10:22. > :10:27.on the date and the dogs savagely bit the end of his finger off.
:10:28. > :10:37.Today, postmen felt safe enough to return and residents received four
:10:38. > :10:41.weeks of mail. Deliveries around the streets are
:10:42. > :10:50.now back on because the owner of the dog has assured Royal mail it will
:10:51. > :10:55.now be kept under control. This has angered people because they have had
:10:56. > :11:04.to wait a month for import and information. I have had to wait four
:11:05. > :11:14.weeks for my mail. At the end of the day, everybody else has lost out on
:11:15. > :11:27.the mail. Why should everyone on this estate suffered because of one
:11:28. > :11:43.dog owner Richard Mark? ``? There are over 2000 dog attacks every
:11:44. > :11:46.year. In other news around Yorkshire: a
:11:47. > :11:48.man has been remanded in custody after appearing before magistrates
:11:49. > :11:52.charged with murdering a 22`year`old woman who was found dead in a
:11:53. > :11:55.caravan in Bradford on Tuesday. Jade Watson's body was found in the
:11:56. > :11:58.caravan behind a house in Wood Lane in Swain House. A postmortem
:11:59. > :12:01.examination showed she was strangled. James Gray, who's 25,
:12:02. > :12:03.will next appear at Bradford Crown Court on Monday.
:12:04. > :12:06.The Government says the case for electrifying the railway line
:12:07. > :12:08.between York, Harrogate and Leeds looks "promising". Commuters,
:12:09. > :12:11.politicians and business people have all been lobbying for improvements
:12:12. > :12:14.on the line. Harrogate MP Andrew Jones raised the issue in the
:12:15. > :12:16.Commons this morning, and the Transport Secretary, Patrick
:12:17. > :12:27.McLoughlin, has promised to think about it.
:12:28. > :12:30.It has stood in the centre of Harrogate for even longer than the
:12:31. > :12:34.famous Betty's Tearooms, just next to it, but a dying 100`year`old tree
:12:35. > :12:38.is now getting a new lease of life. A chainsaw artist has been let loose
:12:39. > :12:42.on the elderly Elm, on Montpellier Hill, with the idea of turning it
:12:43. > :12:46.into a special icon for the Tour de France. A stage of the race will end
:12:47. > :12:50.in the town when it comes to Yorkshire next July. The event has
:12:51. > :12:53.been marked on one side of the tree, and Mick has plans to celebrate
:12:54. > :12:57.Yorkshire and France on the other. The next thing is to do the other
:12:58. > :13:04.side of the tree. So people driving past can see it. We will fit in the
:13:05. > :13:25.Yorkshire rose, and a flower to lead and other things.
:13:26. > :13:28.Five years ago it was a gamble the banks didn't want to take, but today
:13:29. > :13:31.the Yorkshire Wildlife Park is one of the region's biggest tourist
:13:32. > :13:34.attractions. Now it's embarking on an ambitious expansion programme
:13:35. > :13:37.both in terms of its buildings and its animals. Our business
:13:38. > :13:40.correspondent Danni Hewson went with the team to bring the park's latest
:13:41. > :13:44.guest to its new home. It's a nervous wait for this tiger
:13:45. > :13:48.as the vet is called to put her to sleep ahead of her journey to meet a
:13:49. > :13:51.new mate. There are only 400 of these tigers left in the wild so
:13:52. > :13:55.breeding in captivity is important. Today, she was leaving her home at
:13:56. > :13:59.Dudley Zoo and making the short drive north to Doncaster where it is
:14:00. > :14:03.hoped she will eventually have cubs. It is vitally important we get the
:14:04. > :14:06.animals paired up with a mate. It is all very well keeping two female
:14:07. > :14:09.animals together but they will not breed so the aim here is to breed
:14:10. > :14:12.this highly endangered species. Hopefully we will breed her and then
:14:13. > :14:15.it's a win`win situation. It is a complex, perfectly`timed
:14:16. > :14:18.operation, one keepers from the Yorkshire Wildlife Park are now
:14:19. > :14:21.well`versed in. Since it opened five years ago they have made many such
:14:22. > :14:25.journeys to add to the growing number of animals in the park, which
:14:26. > :14:41.in turn has led to a growing number of visitors. To have money going to
:14:42. > :14:51.the local economy and Doncaster is very important. It is good to create
:14:52. > :15:08.employment here. Last summer we had a people working here. That is a lot
:15:09. > :15:20.of people. Hopefully Vladimir will like her. And we will get the
:15:21. > :15:24.go`ahead to breed them. There aren't many companies that get the benefit
:15:25. > :15:33.of tigers like this to grow the business. But rapid expansion comes
:15:34. > :15:41.with a unique set of headaches. We are up for this challenge. The
:15:42. > :15:48.prospect of a future Tiger family will step up more interest. Now it
:15:49. > :16:00.is a matter of letting nature take its course. What a great success
:16:01. > :16:21.story. Before 7pm: A case of corrective
:16:22. > :16:24.surgery surely performed by a quack. A newly refurbished Wentworth Castle
:16:25. > :16:26.Conservatory opens to the public today. In its heyday, the 120`
:16:27. > :16:30.year`old glasshouse displayed exotic plants from all over the world, but
:16:31. > :16:34.then fell into a terrible state of disrepair. It's taken ten years and
:16:35. > :16:37.more than ?3 million to restore the Grade II listed building to its
:16:38. > :16:47.former glory. Ian White is there for us.
:16:48. > :16:55.Take a look at this! This is what it looks like at night. It is well
:16:56. > :17:05.worth a visit. The weather was so good today for the opening.
:17:06. > :17:10.It felt to Barnsley's Mayor to perform the honours, marking the end
:17:11. > :17:14.of ten years of hard work restoring this conservatory to its former
:17:15. > :17:21.glory. The Mac they have done such a good job. The sun was shining for
:17:22. > :17:26.the guests, many of them volunteers who had helped to raise money for
:17:27. > :17:32.this amazing restoration project. It has been sad to see it over the
:17:33. > :17:41.years and is amazing to see it back to its former glory! Now we can see
:17:42. > :17:49.it all put together! We knew that it would eventually happen. The
:17:50. > :17:53.champagne was flowing to mark an incredible achievement many thought
:17:54. > :18:01.would not be possible. It was a proud day. There were a lot of
:18:02. > :18:08.difficulties in the cold weather and not. It was a lot of hard work and
:18:09. > :18:14.at Israeli nice to see it looking so good. The only a handful of
:18:15. > :18:19.Victorian is left in Britain. This surely must be one of the very best.
:18:20. > :18:24.The guests have gone, but this is what it now looks like at night will
:18:25. > :18:34.stop lets talk to clear, the director of the gardens. It all
:18:35. > :18:40.started with the BBC's restoration programme. We came third in the
:18:41. > :18:44.finals will stop it was a shame not to win, but this kicked off the
:18:45. > :18:52.whole project. The volunteers played a huge part. Yes. We could not have
:18:53. > :19:03.done it without them. Ten years of fundraising and hard work and local
:19:04. > :19:14.donations have brought us here. This man is the head gardener. It isn't a
:19:15. > :19:17.stick! It is great for me and the gardening team to have such a
:19:18. > :19:39.wonderful building to restore and look at. There are plants from every
:19:40. > :19:45.continent of the world. It has been great to be here today. Well done.
:19:46. > :19:52.Now of course, you need to come and see it.
:19:53. > :19:56.Lothersdale archer Danielle Brown has won two silver medals at the
:19:57. > :19:59.Para World Championships in Bangkok. Brown came second in the mixed team
:20:00. > :20:01.compound competition with partner John Stubbs earlier today. The
:20:02. > :20:04.25``year`old won another Silver earlier in the tournament, in the
:20:05. > :20:16.individual event. She had previously won every World and Paralympic title
:20:17. > :20:20.available since 2007. There were times not so long ago
:20:21. > :20:24.when I wouldn't have known what a podcast was. I am sure you do ` it's
:20:25. > :20:28.an audio programme you can access on the web and there's a reason for
:20:29. > :20:32.Bradford City to celebrate. Dom and Tom have been doing them for ages
:20:33. > :20:35.and have been short listed for the best football podcast of 2013!
:20:36. > :20:38.Bearing in mind they are up against the likes of Man Utd, Arsenal, and
:20:39. > :20:42.Chelsea, this is some achievement. But before we speak to them, let's
:20:43. > :20:45.remind you of their previous outing as a pop duo when their team were on
:20:46. > :20:48.the way to Wembley! MUSIC PLAYS
:20:49. > :20:52.# Let's get ready for Wembley # # Let's go beat the Swans # I'm so
:20:53. > :21:04.glad that Bantam's Banter are here, watching.
:21:05. > :21:08.There you are in one of your more serious moments ` tell us about the
:21:09. > :21:19.podcast and why you think it's such a success when up against some
:21:20. > :21:23.really big names? Radio talk about the history of the club but it is a
:21:24. > :21:32.narrow own special way. We like to have a laugh. It can be a little bit
:21:33. > :21:40.fruity, with the language. Does that have to be that way? We are at the
:21:41. > :21:45.game, and we are passionate, so we do talk a lot of nonsense and
:21:46. > :21:57.sometimes it is hard to articulate yourselves when you are screaming at
:21:58. > :22:01.the top of your lungs! The reason that we use colourful language is
:22:02. > :22:06.because we are excited. Last year it was through joy. Since that musical
:22:07. > :22:19.outing, we have become more child friendly! I am so proud that
:22:20. > :22:24.Anton's banter is here, podcasting for everyone! We're watching our
:22:25. > :22:39.clean sheet hands with the Swansea players! I nearly cried!
:22:40. > :22:51.You've had 50,000 downloads for one episode ` is it still made in a back
:22:52. > :22:59.bedroom? We can't believe it. It is a difficult industry to get into. We
:23:00. > :23:08.tried to do it our own way. It is just by luck that it has worked out
:23:09. > :23:22.for us. Please vote for our website. We want to bring this back
:23:23. > :23:25.to Yorkshire. We've all heard of reconstructive
:23:26. > :23:31.surgery and the miracles it can achieve. Now a vet from Ilkley has
:23:32. > :23:35.used the technique on a goose. Tilly lost his bottom beak in an accident
:23:36. > :23:39.but the vet has managed to build him a new one, with the help of a
:23:40. > :23:42.dentist. We sent Cathy Killick on what can only be described as a true
:23:43. > :23:45.goose chase. His owner says he's more like a dog
:23:46. > :23:49.than a goose: affectionate, loyal and fond of a walk. But life's not
:23:50. > :23:53.been easy for Tilly. When he was six months old, he lost his lower beak
:23:54. > :23:57.in an accident. He survived for the next six years, using his tongue
:23:58. > :24:00.instead, but three weeks ago, he stopped managing and his vet had to
:24:01. > :24:04.come up with a solution. It's like trying to do a gum shield
:24:05. > :24:07.for a rugby player. His tongue is like Arnold Schwarzenegger's thigh `
:24:08. > :24:11.it's absolutely massive because it's had to do all the work in the past.
:24:12. > :24:15.And as that tongue has gotten thicker it's been unable to do its
:24:16. > :24:18.job. He got to the stage where he couldn't use his tongue to eat and
:24:19. > :24:21.it was getting trapped between the two halves of his jaw.
:24:22. > :24:25.A dentist has helped to construct the new bill, which has been screwed
:24:26. > :24:28.onto a surgical plate attached to Tilly's jaw.
:24:29. > :24:32.It's a whole new learning curve for him because he didn't have a beak
:24:33. > :24:36.before, so he's got to get used to it. But animals adapt quickly, so
:24:37. > :24:40.hopefully it'll go well. It was great this morning to come in
:24:41. > :24:42.and see him scooping up grain and tilting his head back ` he'd already
:24:43. > :24:46.adapted. He's so special, there's a special
:24:47. > :24:49.bond between us that people can't believe. They think geese chase
:24:50. > :24:57.people and are horrible, but he is just wonderful!
:24:58. > :25:01.It is hoped Tilly will make a full recovery once he has adjusted to his
:25:02. > :25:13.new bill. As for the vet's bill, he did it for nothing.
:25:14. > :25:34.Let's move on to the weather. Do you want to hear about my podcast? Yes.
:25:35. > :25:42.I could do it now... This is a picture of a squirrel in a
:25:43. > :25:44.tree. This is a picture of the lovely
:25:45. > :26:07.autumn. The risk of scattered showers
:26:08. > :26:18.further west. Sunday is the best day to do anything this weekend. There
:26:19. > :26:23.will be spells of sunshine. It has been a fabulous day right along the
:26:24. > :26:43.coast. A few showers in the West over night. It will be breezy but
:26:44. > :26:55.you have some ground frost. These are the high water times. Many of us
:26:56. > :27:10.will have a bright and sunny start. But some scattered showers. These
:27:11. > :27:20.will fizzle out. Top temperatures of nine or 10 Celsius. As for the
:27:21. > :27:28.weekend, a similar day on Saturday. Sunny spells and scattered showers.
:27:29. > :27:29.Sharp frost on Saturday night, but it will leave Sunday looking really
:27:30. > :27:35.magnificent.
