That's all from the BBC News at Six so it's | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Welcome to Look North. Tonight, could the authorities have saved | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Hamzah Khan, the Bradford boy starved to death by his mother? A | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
serious case review says his death could not have been predicted, but | :00:12. | :00:20. | |
the system let him down. Sadly, he was invisible to many agencies | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
during that time. There is absolutely no attempt to whitewash. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
But the government says the reports isn't good enough and doesn't | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
explain what really happened. The man responsible for the safety of | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
children in Bradford is here. We'll speak to him shortly. Also | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
tonight... How many more cases like Hamzah | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
might there be? Figures obtained by Look North suggest 24,000 children | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
are now being neglected in Yorkshire. We have a special report. | :00:44. | :00:48. | |

Darent. Good evening. | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
An independent report has found that a four`year`old boy from Bradford, | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
who was starved to death by his mother, was let down by the systems | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
supposed to protect him. It does however say that Hamzah Khan's death | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
could not have been predicted by the authorities. Hamzah Khan was born in | :01:36. | :01:45. | |
2005. But from two weeks old, his medical records have been described | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
as a "blank page". Health visitors were repeatedly turned away, he | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
never saw a GP and he missed numerous appointments for | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
immunisation. His mother Amanda Hutton was the victim of domestic | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
violence and police were called eight times between 2005 and 2009 to | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
disturbances. She was also the subject of three separate case | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
conferences to discuss the risks she faced. But even though the family | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
was known to the authorities, and Hamzah's father had given a warning | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
about his well`being, no serious concerns were identified and today's | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
report determined that Hamzah's death could not have been prevented. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
Our first report comes from our Health Correspondent Jamie Coulson. | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
The haunting image of Hamzah Khan, a four`year`old child who was starved | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
to death by his own mother and whose body laid undiscovered for nearly | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
two years. Last month, Amanda Hutton was jailed for a case of neglect | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
described as wicked. Today, the focus was turned on the agencies | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
that came in to contact with the family before the end of his life. | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
Today, there was a line`up to deliver the findings of a Serious | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
Case Review into the death of Hamzah Khan. First, it is clear that only | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
one person was responsible for the death of Hamzah Khan, and that | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
person was Amanda Hutton, his mother. The Serious Case Review | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
found that his death could not been predicted, but also found that | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
systems, many of them national systems, let him down. It also found | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
that there was insufficient information and no evidence to allow | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
any agency to take statutory action to safeguard Hamzah Khan. This was a | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
family that chose not to use general services like early help, early | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
childhood services, some of the health services, et sadly, Hamzah | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
Khan was invisible to many agencies at that time. This report was | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
surrounded in controversy after its release, with one serious source | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
inside the Department of Education describing it as rubbish and another | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
minister saying he had deep concerns about the content. In a letter, | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
Edward Timpson, the children's minister, says that the report fails | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
to explain sufficiently the actions taken or not taken by social care | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
and elites there are nearly ten missed opportunities to protect | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
children in that house. There also concerns the report were unclear | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
about some of the contact between the social workers and the family. | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
This is not a whitewash. My career is dependent on my dependent on | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
critical reviews and systems, it is not a whitewash, this was written by | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
an independent person and chaired by an independent person. The remains | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
of Hamzah Khan were discovered amid the squalor of this house. His body | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
was found in a baby grow for a child aged between six and nine months | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
old. At the time, he would have been four and a half. His folder, who has | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
a conviction for domestic violence, has now criticised the main findings | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
of the report today. `` his father. Nobody will admit to this. They were | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
just passed the buck and blame each other. But I have lost my son. | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
Someone's head needs to roll for this, then they will start to do | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
something about this, because it will happen day in day out. Since | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
the death of Hamzah Khan in 2009, social services, police and NHS all | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
work under one roof to safeguard children, and a recent study | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
reported rate reference services as good. But the matter does not end | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
there, and matter relating to one of the siblings of Hamzah Khan is | :05:36. | :05:45. | |
bringing it to the council. I believe that my client has suffered | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
psychologically and has been exposed to these poor conditions for a | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
considerable serious of time. Thus micro period of time. The board will | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
respond to this report, but for the meantime, they will remember the | :05:59. | :06:08. | |
child was invisible and life. `` who was invisible in life. | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
Now let's talk to Professor Nick Frost, who we saw in Jamie's report, | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
and who chairs the Bradford Safeguarding Children Board. The | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
children's minister has said he has got deep concerns about this report | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
and said there are glaring absence that fail to display where actions | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
were not taken by children's care services, what is your response to | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
that, you let Hamzah Khan down? It is very complicated. I have taken | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
immediate action and reply to the Minister. We have got officers in | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
Bradford getting frenzied detail that the minister wants. We will | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
respond to that as quickly as possible. On the question of being | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
let down, clearly he was let down, but the question is, how was he let | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
down? I do not think he was let down by negligence by any single person. | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
He was let down by a series of unusual events. 35 years in this | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
work, I have never seen a situation like this. But you have said | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
systems, not people to blame, but people run these systems, could not | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
been crucial points that could have saved his life? Yes, the systems are | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
in place, the workers in Bradford are obliged to follow these systems, | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
if they do not follow the systems, they will be disciplined. In this | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
case, the systems were followed, but they were not robust enough, and I | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
want a more rigorous pursuit for information and ultimately a | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
multi`agency meeting for everyone comes together in the same room, and | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
perhaps, with the benefit of hindsight, that might have saved the | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
life of Hamzah Khan. Why did these people not come together? There were | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
different agencies involved, the police, health agencies, why not | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
come together? There is something called a threshold and you have to | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
reach the threshold to trigger this kind of meeting. In the letter from | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
the Minister, it looks like there are many events, but they were over | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
seven years, so there was about one event every single year, said the | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
family were invisible, they were not thus micro and not using her GP | :08:09. | :08:19. | |
service. `` they were not using a GP service. You say it is not a | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
whitewash, but a young boy became invisible, how can you reassure | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
people, in Bradford in particular, that their children are safe? This | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
is a tragedy, it is a cliche, but safeguarding is everyone's | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
business. The eyes and ears of the services can only respond for the | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
community highlight issues for them. Briefly, if you can, you have been | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
told by the government to go back to the drawing board, what will you | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
come up with next? When people lose jobs or be disciplined? It is not | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
within our powers to look into disciplinary action, but we will | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
gather all of the evidence, staff are working on that, I would get it | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
to the Minister as quickly as possible, hopefully within a week. | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
Once the detail of times and dates, I will give that detail. In the | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
past, report criticised for having too much detail. I should say that. | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
Thank you. Well, Hamzah Khan died due to the | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
gross negligence of his mother Amanda Hutton. So what is neglect | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
and how many children here in Yorkshire are being neglected? Our | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
reporter Spencer Stokes has been looking at the figures and talking | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
to someone who knows exactly what it's like to suffer at the hands of | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
an evil mother. Every year in Yorkshire, thousands | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
of children are classed as being in need because they have suffered from | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
or are at risk of neglect. According to the NSPCC, neglect is a failure | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
to provide for a child's physical or emotional needs, to an extent that | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
it affects their development. We have spoken to a victim of child | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
neglect, who for the first time, has agreed to share his story. In the | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
1990s, Craig was neglected by his mother. She starved him, he's only | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
food came from school meals and everything else was paid for from | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
the proceeds of two paper rounds. His words are spoken by an actor and | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
we changed his name. And he food that I bored, I kept hidden, because | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
when I bought more, I would put it on my desk and when I was come home, | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
it would be in my bin. If she could find it, she would chuck it in the | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
bin, so that is when I would hide stuff under the floorboards. It was | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
not nice and clean, but it was a case of that or go hungry, because | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
she would throw away my food. Craig's mother made sure that nobody | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
was aware of this, but if they are made aware to social services, then | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
they are classed as being in need. There are 24,000 children in | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
Yorkshire in need because of abuse, that is more than the 21,000 from | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
Yorkshire two years ago. The numbers are highest in Leeds and Bradford. | :11:07. | :11:15. | |
In many cases, many cases overlap with physical abuse, and that is | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
what happened with Craig. She said on numerous occasions that if she | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
could get away with murder, she would. Are member her picking me up | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
and pinning me to the wall and shaking me so much with rage and | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
anger, that I would wait for her to do something to me. `` I remember | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
her. She threw me across the room. I just wanted to end it. Although this | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
neglect and abuse went unreported, the NSPCC said that in Yorkshire | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
last year, there was a 17% increase in calls about neglect. The figures | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
rose from 701 referrals in 2011 up to 818 and 2012. It sends a shiver | :11:58. | :12:05. | |
down my spine, because it is still raw. It is something I will ever get | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
over, but I will not let it defeat me. It is terrible to see this | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
happening still now. I have problems now because of injuries I suffered | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
as a child, I have scars on my arms. I just think she is a pure, evil | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
woman. She still cares `` scares me today, because I know what she is | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
capable of. Neglect and abuse overshadows the | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
lives of children everyday in Yorkshire. | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
We're joined now by David Ward, who's the Liberal Democrat MP for | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
Bradford East. 24,000 children possibly neglected in Yorkshire, how | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
many in Bradford? The figures that you showed earlier in your package, | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
it is substantial, 2700, I think the figure was. It is not surprising, it | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
is a big area, and we know it has got its own problems. There are lots | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
of areas of deprivation, and too often, these things go together. It | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
is also, we are under pressure with the economic crisis, so that is the | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
scale of the problem. As an MP for Bradford, what needs to be done | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
immediately now? What immediately needs to be done is for people to | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
slow down and give this some careful thought. I really do object to | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
people rushing to print as quickly as possible, with their knee jerk | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
reactions to a pretty substantial report, which we need to consider in | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
a lot more depth before coming out with knee jerk reactions. The | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
government is blaming the Council, the council is blaming the | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
government, who is to blame? The councillors `` the council isn't | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
blaming the government so much, but Michael Gove had a go at schools and | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
social workers at a conference, so there is a culture within the | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
Department, it is a serious issue that needs to be dealt with, and I | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
am disappointed with the rapid response from the Minister, when a | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
cool, calm response was called for. You heard some of the criticisms | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
that the report has been whitewash, you cannot just sit back and take it | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
all in, you have to do something quickly, that is what people demand. | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
You have to remember, this poor boy died been a number of Serious Case | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
Review is because of other tragedies which have been absorbed by the | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
profession and improvements have been made. The interesting thing | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
will be to look at if this could have happened is now? We know there | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
have been substantial changes that have taken place in the last three, | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
four years will stop this was unfortunately because of tragedies. | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
Those changes will have improved the system. The question is, do we need | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
to do more? This is a story Irish we will come back to. Thank you for | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
joining us. `` a story I am sure we will come back to. | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
And a reminder that if you want to know more then you can go online to | :15:17. | :15:20. | |

Later on Look North... Britain's rarest carnivore ` the hunt for the | :15:26. | :15:28. | |

More news from around the region, and police have arrested a man in | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
connection with a fatal shooting in the Wortley area of Leeds last week. | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
The victim has been named as 21`year`old Pawel Jarek Matras. He | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
was shot on Blue Hill Crescent last Friday, and died in hospital shortly | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
after. Police have now arrested a 22`year`old man in London, who has | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
been moved to West Yorkshire for questioning. A second man who was | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
also shot has now been released from hospital. | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
Sheffield United say one of their directors, revealed in the Sun | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
newspaper today as having once been a member of a gang of football | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
hooligans, now has a reputation as a well`regarded, law`abiding | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
businessman. Selahattin Baki seen here on the right, was featured on a | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
television programme six years ago, in which he boasted of his | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
membership of a violent group in Istanbul. He was a member of a | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
notorious hooligan group called Kill For You, who supported Turkish club | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
Fenerbahce. New research by scientists at York | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
University suggests that prostate cancer patients who receive | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
radiotherapy could soon be treated more effectively. Around a third of | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
patients who receive radiotherapy as treatment for the cancer experience | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
a recurrence of the disease. Scientists now believe a combination | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
of radiotherapy used with common cancer drugs can be more effective. | :16:45. | :16:53. | |
Unemployment in Yorkshire has risen this month, bucking the national | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
trend. Latest figures for the three month period between July and | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
September show that there were 248,000 people without a job in | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
Yorkshire and the Humber, that's 4,000 more than the previous month. | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
The unemployment rate has risen slightly to 8.9% percent and remains | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
the third highest in the country. Many people in rural homes in | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
Yorkshire are living in fuel poverty, that's according to figures | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
from a regional body representing the voluntary sector. A paper | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
published today by Involve Yorkshire and Humber says around a quarter of | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
people in areas like Ryedale, Richmondshire and Craven are | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
struggling to pay for heating. North Yorkshire Police have issued | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
CCTV of a man they want to speak to in connection with a burglary at the | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
home of a man in his 90s. Last month, a man entered the victim's | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
home in Swaledale. He snuck in and removed cash from the victim's | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
wallet before leaving through the front door. Officers believe that | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
the man spoke with a Liverpool accent. | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
Football now and two of our teams took a big step towards a Wembley | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
final last night. Victories for Rotherham United and Chesterfield | :18:01. | :18:03. | |

Trophy. Ian Bucknell reports. Rotherham have slipped down the | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
table recently. There is nothing wrong with their cup form. After | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
thrashing Bradford on Saturday, they took an early lead with this | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
header. Hartlepool knocked out Sheffield United and got back into | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
this one thanks to a well taken goal by Andrew Monkhouse. But fortune was | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
to favour the wayside, as this shot gay telling deflection to put | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
Rotherham back in front before half`time. The scoreline stayed 2`1, | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
and Steve Evans' men marched on where they could meet Chesterfield | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
will stop they were inspired by Gary Roberts, and his cross was met by | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
Ollie Banks to get them going at home to Rochdale. Roberts was at it | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
again after the break setting up a second with a tap in. Robert Slade | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
on another goal to complete a 3`0 victory. Chesterfield one in 2012, | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
but might have a fight with Rotherham if they are to repeat the | :19:15. | :19:23. | |
success this time round. That Rotherham Chesterfield | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
semifinal will be a very tasty encounter if it happens! | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
Let's turn to Rugby League now, and England take on France on Saturday | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
night in the World Cup quarter final. One of England's key | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
Yorkshiremen is Leeds Rhinos' little magician Rob Burrow. And he IS | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
available for selection against France, even though, it emerges, | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
last Saturday's match against Fiji ended up a bit of a blur for him! | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
Paul Ogden reports. The introduction of Leeds Rhinos Rob | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
Oro from the England bench against TJ was a key to their victory. He | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
scored one and made more besides. But the real trouble was a routine | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
Rugby League knocked to the head, leaving him unable to remember a | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
thing about it. Even worse at the time, the medical team on the other | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
side of the pitch had not realised he had been knocked out. I am not | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
saying that I was knocked out cold, but it shuffles the information | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
around in your head, and I did not know where I was and I started | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
coming round and the game was over, so a strange experience. It is a | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
good job it was nothing serious, because I could've been gone by | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
then! And somebody came to my help. That person was a quick thinking | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
cameraman, in truth, not standing ready should have been, but still | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
with the presence of mind to help him up and wave across for urgent | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
attention. I am very grateful for that, I tracked him down and sent | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
him a text message to say thank you. I hope I didn't get him into much | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
trouble, but he was very kind, and I appreciate it. So, credit where it | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
was due, and this time from an international warding star to a | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
member of the media! What ever next? ! We can be proud of this team of | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
when he faces France with the national team next week. Such a | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
great player, and such a lovely guy, good luck on Saturday. | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
"It's like looking for a small furry needle in a 100 square kilometre | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
haystack." That's how they're describing the search for Britain's | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
rarest carnivore in the North York Moors national park. There have been | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
rumours for years that Pine Martens have returned to Yorkshire and now | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
naturalists are trying to find out for sure. Danny Carpenter joined | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
them. Somewhere in here, just maybe, is | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
one of the rarest animals in the UK. So rare, it has not been seen in | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
England for 100 years, and this is what it looks like. It is a pine | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
marten. They exist in Scotland and there are around 3000 of them, not | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
quite as rare as tigers in India, but not far off. We will freeze the | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
action. Remember this image. Now, you're in England, more | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
specifically, the North York Moors, they think there might just be a few | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
more. James McConnell and Hannah Henschel are trying to find them, | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
and at the moment, they are struggling to find their own | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
cameras! A little bit further up and we should see it in a second. They | :22:27. | :22:34. | |
set up a series of traps in prime pine marten country to set out bait | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
for these carnivore, John, honey, peanut butter. Now, it is time to | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
see what they have caught. Doing really well with the squirrels! How | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
do you know that is not the same square rule? ! As well as the | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
squirrels, there are rather magically badgers, dear, even a | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
hair, and just a minute, what is this? Remember this image from | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
earlier, does this match? Is this the first pine marten in Yorkshire | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
for 100 years? Apparently, this shot is inconclusive. It is quite blurry | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
and shadowy, so we want to be 100% positive. And he found some who? `` | :23:23. | :23:37. | |
some extra meant? Yes, we think so. The Fox and the pine marten are | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
quite similar, so we need some DNA to detectives. There have been a | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
number of unconfirmed sightings, and 20 years ago, a body was found on | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
the roads not far from here. Not a lot to go on, but it does give | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
hope. So, the traps are reset. More bait | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
is put out. James and Hannah are persevering, because maybe, just | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
maybe, they will find Britain's rarest carnivore somewhere in here. | :24:08. | :24:18. | |
Did I miss something fair? It is a good job that you weren't | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
working there, because you could not see it right in the centre! | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
Now Children in Need is of course just around the corner, and a quick | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
reminder that we're having our very own event at the National Media | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
Museum in Bradford on Friday. It's free to come along, just turn up | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
between 5.30pm and 9.30pm. Lots going on, lots of music. | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
We were talking last night about a cold snap, and surely enough, one of | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
the National newspaper said something serious is going to | :24:51. | :24:51. | |
happen! Yes, possibly the first cold snap | :24:52. | :24:59. | |
next week, and some of us could see some snow showers, but that is | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
nothing out of the ordinary! End of November! Start of a wintry shower! | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
You could do my job! Let's take a look at some of the pictures that | :25:11. | :25:12. | |
have come in. That was taken first thing this | :25:13. | :25:30. | |
morning. A busy looking sky. And a beautiful, moody picture. That was | :25:31. | :25:32. | |
this morning. The headline for tomorrow, it is | :25:33. | :25:49. | |
looking cold and windy, but mainly Sunni. A lot of blue skies as you | :25:50. | :25:57. | |
can see from this shot here. `` mainly sunny weather. We have got a | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
cold front, that is the back edge coming through Ireland right now, | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
before that comes through, there will be some clout and patchy | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
outbreaks of rain. Most of this rain will be in the West. The further | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
east to go, the light and patchy rain will be there, but a miserable | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
night developing at times. Especially, parts of west South | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
Yorkshire and across the Yorkshire Dales. Windy tonight with temp | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
richer is no lower than five degrees, so not a frost like last | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
night. Yes`macro temperature is no lower. The sun will rise at around | :26:37. | :26:45. | |
7:30am tomorrow. And E patchy overnight rain will soon clear away | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
to the south`east and then the skies were clear. `` and he patchy | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
overnight rain. Later, the odd shower into the coast close to | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
Whitby. A damp start with sunny skies. Temperatures of eight | :27:04. | :27:11. | |
degrees, but feeling colder than these temperatures will suggest. | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
Nearer six degrees over the tops of the Moors. Friday, it looks a little | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
less cold, less windy, so dry with some sunshine. The weekend, not too | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
bad, but some patchy rain on Saturday night and perfectly normal, | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
the cold snap this of year next we get that! | :27:30. | :27:36. |
