:00:00. > :00:00.Louise, thank you. That's all from the BBC
:00:07. > :00:14.Hello and welcome to Thursday's Look North.
:00:15. > :00:17.Tonight: A warning over HIV. Leeds has one of the highest rates
:00:18. > :00:20.in the country. Now more people are being urged to
:00:21. > :00:25.come forward to get themselves tested. We know that more than one
:00:26. > :00:29.in 500 people in Leeds is living with HIV so we want to promote
:00:30. > :00:31.testing as much as we can to try and prevent late diagnosis and
:00:32. > :00:35.transmission of infection. Also tonight: Phil Bodmer's live in
:00:36. > :00:41.Sheffield with the story of a very special delivery.
:00:42. > :00:46.Yes, meet baby Jonathan. He is less than a week old and snug as a bug in
:00:47. > :00:49.a rug. He was so keen to arrive that he did not wait for the paramedics.
:00:50. > :00:52.We will have the full story later on.
:00:53. > :00:58.And it's right next to the railway line but it's suddenly become a very
:00:59. > :01:04.desirable property. Overcast skies. This was this
:01:05. > :01:06.morning but it looks like a lot of sunshine to come tomorrow. The
:01:07. > :01:20.details are coming up shortly. Thank you for joining us. Tonight
:01:21. > :01:24.our top story: One in 500 people in Leeds has been diagnosed with HIV.
:01:25. > :01:27.It's one of the highest figures in the country, and it's thought there
:01:28. > :01:31.are many more people with the virus, they just don't know it. A Leeds
:01:32. > :01:34.charity is now urging people to get tested at special clinics which are
:01:35. > :01:41.taking place around the city this week. Cathy Killick reports. What I
:01:42. > :01:45.do is take a bit of blood from your finger. When you take an HIV test
:01:46. > :01:51.these days you can get the results in as little as 20 minutes. All week
:01:52. > :01:55.tests are being offered across the country thanks to this leads
:01:56. > :02:01.charity. It can take a while to get enough blood, especially when your
:02:02. > :02:06.hands are a bit cold. Yorkshire Mesmac came up with the idea of the
:02:07. > :02:12.testing week and it has helped to normalise the idea of getting HIV
:02:13. > :02:16.tested. Statistics show that is important. At this centre for sexual
:02:17. > :02:20.health it shows that Leeds has one of the highest rates of HIV in the
:02:21. > :02:23.country. People are very nervous about testing, especially if it is
:02:24. > :02:27.the first time they have taken the test. It is very straightforward and
:02:28. > :02:32.people have a lot of support around that as well. If they have a
:02:33. > :02:37.positive diagnosis and it happens in the community we can see them very
:02:38. > :02:41.quickly. HIV is no longer the death sentence it was 30 years ago but it
:02:42. > :02:45.still carries a stigma which is why this man prepared to talk to me
:02:46. > :02:51.anonymously. He takes a pill a day and leads a normal, healthy life. He
:02:52. > :02:56.tested only. The quicker that HIV is treated, the better the prognosis
:02:57. > :03:01.for patients. I would say get tested. It doesn't cost anything.
:03:02. > :03:06.You can get it done from the clinic. It might just save your
:03:07. > :03:10.life, as dramatic as that sounds. Living with HIV won't kill you but
:03:11. > :03:15.if you have it and you do not know, that is when it might get
:03:16. > :03:19.complicated. There is now a danger that has become a threat to us
:03:20. > :03:25.all... High`profile, high sensation health films of the 1980s put HIV
:03:26. > :03:29.and AIDS at the forefront of minds. As the threat to life has
:03:30. > :03:34.diminished, so has the profile of the disease. A week dedicated to
:03:35. > :03:38.testing aims to catch cases early and make people think about safe sex
:03:39. > :03:41.because it is still possible to die of ignorance.
:03:42. > :03:45.Brad Smith from the charity Yorkshire Mesmac is with us now. You
:03:46. > :03:49.started this testing week, it was taken up across Britain and now
:03:50. > :03:57.Europe's joining in. This will make a huge difference won't it? Yes, it
:03:58. > :04:00.has been really picked up this week through social media sites and
:04:01. > :04:06.things like that. The message is getting out there and the response
:04:07. > :04:10.has been fantastic. The message is to get tested early. Yes, get to
:04:11. > :04:14.know your status. Everyone has an HIV status and get to know yours.
:04:15. > :04:18.Treatments are a lot better and there has never been a better time
:04:19. > :04:23.to access treatment. Is it being ignored. We saw in the report that
:04:24. > :04:27.the significant campaign in the 1990s had an impact on all of us. Do
:04:28. > :04:33.you need something like that to get us back to understand the importance
:04:34. > :04:36.of this? Yes, the campaigns in the 1990s had value at that time but
:04:37. > :04:43.what is needed is up to date because it has moved on a lot. The stigma
:04:44. > :04:48.around HIV and the belief around it just has not moved with the times.
:04:49. > :04:53.Do you think that campaign scared people as opposed to making them
:04:54. > :04:57.come forward? Yes, it was a scary campaign and it also may have acted
:04:58. > :05:01.as a barrier for people to come forward and get tested. Now HIV has
:05:02. > :05:07.moved along and the treatment has never been better so there is still
:05:08. > :05:11.the Sigma and the fear behind the campaigns that we remember. `` there
:05:12. > :05:14.is still the stigma. The Huddersfield`born footballer
:05:15. > :05:16.Delroy Facey has been arrested as part of an investigation into
:05:17. > :05:19.alleged match`fixing. The player`turned`agent is one of seven
:05:20. > :05:22.people being questioned by the National Crime Agency following an
:05:23. > :05:27.investigation by the Daily Telegraph newspaper. Two of those, from
:05:28. > :05:31.Singapore, have been charged within the last hour with conspiracy to
:05:32. > :05:39.defraud. Olivia Richwald is in Huddersfield. Olivia, what can you
:05:40. > :05:45.tell us. Well, I am standing outside what we
:05:46. > :05:47.believe to be Delroy Facey's house in Huddersfield. Neighbours have
:05:48. > :05:51.confirmed they know him and people have been coming and going all day
:05:52. > :05:54.from the house but we do not believe any of them have been Delroy Facey
:05:55. > :05:59.and no one has wanted to speak to us. I can tell you a bit of
:06:00. > :06:04.information about him. He was born in 1980 and he played for his local
:06:05. > :06:10.team as a youngster. He is a popular figure here in the town. He moved
:06:11. > :06:14.from Huddersfield Town to play for the Premier league side Bolton
:06:15. > :06:19.Wanderers in 2002 but he was beset by injuries. He did not stay long at
:06:20. > :06:23.Bolton before he was transferred to Bradford City and there he descended
:06:24. > :06:28.through the football ranks, playing for 14 different clubs in his 16
:06:29. > :06:32.year career. Three years ago he was playing for Lincoln City and we have
:06:33. > :06:44.some shots of him in goal`scoring form but one year after that his
:06:45. > :06:47.career ended at Hereford United. He now plays for a non`league side in
:06:48. > :06:49.Bradford and is reported also to have developed a sideline as a
:06:50. > :06:53.football agent. It is important to say that there is no suggestion that
:06:54. > :06:57.any of the clubs I mention are involved in the allegations. Delroy
:06:58. > :07:03.Facey was arrested by the National Crime Agency, as one of seven
:07:04. > :07:07.people, and the suspicion is of an Asian betting scheme, betting on
:07:08. > :07:12.non`league matches. It came as a result of Daily Telegraph newspaper
:07:13. > :07:17.recordings of conversations between fixers. Two people have been
:07:18. > :07:20.arrested on conspiracy to do fraudster night but neither of them
:07:21. > :07:23.is Delroy Facey. Thank you very much indeed.
:07:24. > :07:30.Later on Look North: Stuart Maconie will give us a totally unbiased view
:07:31. > :07:34.of his fellow Northerners. We are always city faced Pittman or urchins
:07:35. > :07:40.kicking a ball in the Street or sparking clogs. We are good`hearted
:07:41. > :07:45.simple folk, work`shy, brassy, women of easy virtue. You are right there!
:07:46. > :07:49.In the rest of the day's news energy giant npower has confirmed plans to
:07:50. > :07:51.cut 80 jobs in Leeds as part of a major restructure of its customer
:07:52. > :07:54.service department. The firm, which employs 800 people
:07:55. > :07:57.across the city, said the redundancies would be made at its
:07:58. > :08:01.offices in Seacroft. It has started a consultation with staff over the
:08:02. > :08:04.plans, which would see nearly 1,500 jobs lost across the country. Npower
:08:05. > :08:08.said customers would continue to be served on the phone by people based
:08:09. > :08:14.in UK call centres, with back`office functions outsourced to India.
:08:15. > :08:18.Police say a 40`year`old woman and her 18`year`old son were among the
:08:19. > :08:23.victims of a head`on crash in North Yorkshire yesterday morning. A
:08:24. > :08:26.47`year`old man also died in the crash between a Ford Focus and a
:08:27. > :08:33.Citroen van on the B1248 near Wharram Percy. All three were Polish
:08:34. > :08:36.nationals living in Hull. Two other men are still in hospital, one with
:08:37. > :08:40.critical and the other with serious injuries.
:08:41. > :08:43.Four men have been convicted for the murder of 21`year`old Jordan
:08:44. > :08:46.Stapleton at his home in Meanwood in Leeds last April. Mr Stapleton was
:08:47. > :08:50.shot dead in his bathroom as his four`year`old son was sleeping in
:08:51. > :08:53.the next room. He's thought to have been murdered by four gang members
:08:54. > :08:57.after they accused him of grassing to police about drugs offences. The
:08:58. > :09:01.four convicted, Cyrus Hanley, Colin Webster, Luke Toner and Jake Looby,
:09:02. > :09:06.are due to be sentenced at Leeds Crown Court tomorrow.
:09:07. > :09:10.The government has confirmed there will be a public inquiry next year
:09:11. > :09:15.into a planned ?250,000 trolleybus system in Leeds. Leeds City Council
:09:16. > :09:20.says the electric bus project will significantly improve journey times
:09:21. > :09:23.and cut congestion. But concerns have been raised about value for
:09:24. > :09:27.money and plans to demolish 20 buildings between Headingley and the
:09:28. > :09:40.city centre to make way for the scheme.
:09:41. > :09:43.A 2,000`year`old gold Torc bracelet can now stay on display at the
:09:44. > :09:47.Yorkshire Museum thanks to donations from the public. The bracelet is one
:09:48. > :09:51.of two found near Tadcaster a couple of years ago. They were the first
:09:52. > :09:54.pieces of gold Iron Age jewelry to be discovered in the North. The
:09:55. > :09:57.museum already owned one and has now raised ?30,000 to keep the other.
:09:58. > :09:59.Most of the money came from anonymous donations.
:10:00. > :10:02.A transsexual man who was born female and fled India to escape
:10:03. > :10:06.violence and harassment is facing deportation. Sameer Neelam now lives
:10:07. > :10:09.in Bradford after being outed by the Indian media. He's seeking asylum,
:10:10. > :10:13.fearing he'll have to live life as a woman and wear a sari if he is made
:10:14. > :10:20.to go back. Sameer's been telling his story exclusively to Look
:10:21. > :10:25.North's Ian White. Sameer Neelam is a man trapped
:10:26. > :10:29.inside a woman's body. As a transsexual he was forced to leave
:10:30. > :10:33.India after suffering harassment and violence. He has lived in Yorkshire
:10:34. > :10:38.for two years. Here I am considered as what I am. In India I cannot
:10:39. > :10:45.dress like this. Nobody counts me as a man. If I put trade myself and
:10:46. > :10:52.open myself as a man in India I will be looked down, tortured,
:10:53. > :10:56.discriminated, eliminated. In India Sameer lived a double life. In
:10:57. > :10:59.public he was a prominent female local official but in private he
:11:00. > :11:05.lived in secret as a man with another woman. But things went wrong
:11:06. > :11:15.when he was outed by a TV show and he had to flee to the UK. I have
:11:16. > :11:18.three girlfriends also. He is seeking asylum in the UK but the
:11:19. > :11:22.Home Office wants him to return to India and if he goes back he will be
:11:23. > :11:29.forced to live as a woman and where a sari. I just wanted to kill
:11:30. > :11:33.myself, end my life, I tried. Sameer has been supported by this
:11:34. > :11:37.professor, an expert in equality law and himself a transsexual. He says
:11:38. > :11:41.he's not surprised that the Home Office does not want Sameer in the
:11:42. > :11:46.UK. I am sure for the Home Office, one of the things that they fear it
:11:47. > :11:50.Sameer gets to stay in the country is the principle of opening the
:11:51. > :11:54.floodgates, that somehow a lot of other transgender people come to
:11:55. > :11:59.Britain. It is a false perception on the part of the Home Office and it
:12:00. > :12:03.is a lack of understanding of the community. The Home Office would not
:12:04. > :12:08.comment on this case. Meanwhile Sameer is being supported by other
:12:09. > :12:10.members of the transgender community. He says living in
:12:11. > :12:19.Bradford has changed his life. My life as a man... My original life, I
:12:20. > :12:26.am enjoying. If somebody calls me Mr something, someone calls me he, I
:12:27. > :12:30.feel really energetic. Sameer should find out his fate in the next few
:12:31. > :12:33.days. Let's go to Sheffield now to hear
:12:34. > :12:37.from two mums with a special bond. One's just given birth to a tiny
:12:38. > :12:44.baby boy and her friend helped deliver him in rather unusual
:12:45. > :12:48.circumstances. When Pache Mbombo went into labour unexpectedly, she
:12:49. > :12:51.called 999 for an ambulance, but her baby had other ideas and arrived
:12:52. > :12:55.before the paramedics, face down with his umbilical cord wrapped
:12:56. > :12:59.around his neck! It Our reporter Phil Bodmer's with the the family
:13:00. > :13:05.and the neighbour Sherene Barden who helped with the special delivery. Is
:13:06. > :13:10.every mother's worst nightmare. I see you have a tiny little bundle
:13:11. > :13:14.there. Isn't he gorgeous? Baby Jonathan is out for the count. He
:13:15. > :13:19.had a feed about half an hour ago and he will problem not wake up for
:13:20. > :13:25.a while. Richard Gere, his dad, is nursing him but his arrival was
:13:26. > :13:31.anything but normal. This is ma'am, Pache, it was all a bit complicated,
:13:32. > :13:34.wasn't it? It certainly was. It was really complicated. I could not
:13:35. > :13:39.believe he came so quickly. You were on the phone to the emergency
:13:40. > :13:47.services because you could not get to the hospital. I was too early at
:13:48. > :13:52.the time of delivery so I called 999 when it started at 5:55am and after
:13:53. > :13:57.that I was delivering and talking with emergency services. I was
:13:58. > :14:03.speaking to the ambulance and the paramedic but I was talking to a
:14:04. > :14:09.police officer. Tell me about this young lady. She is just three years
:14:10. > :14:12.old and she helped, didn't you? , she is looking at herself on the
:14:13. > :14:18.television. What is your brother like? He is beautiful! That is what
:14:19. > :14:22.you told me early on. You helped your ma'am, what did she do, she
:14:23. > :14:27.rubbed your shoulders and helped to suit you? Yes, she was rubbing my
:14:28. > :14:30.back and she got me a dressing gown and she got everything ready and
:14:31. > :14:34.made sure I was fine and relaxed so she kept me company all the way
:14:35. > :14:41.through. That shows great presence of mind for some solo `` suck `` one
:14:42. > :14:47.are so young. Well done! Now this is the friend. You were coming by the
:14:48. > :14:51.property and you heard Pache in distress. I heard her screaming and
:14:52. > :14:59.I came to the front door and they let me end. She shouted that her
:15:00. > :15:02.baby was coming. I ran in and I saw that the baby had come already and I
:15:03. > :15:06.said he was here and she had done it but I noticed he was face down on
:15:07. > :15:10.the sofa and something White was around his neck which I realised was
:15:11. > :15:14.the umbilical cord so I unhooked that over his head and I turned him
:15:15. > :15:18.over to make sure he was breathing which he was and then he let out a
:15:19. > :15:23.cry. I just thought it was wonderful and it was super that everything was
:15:24. > :15:27.all right. You must be so proud. You must be real happy with the work of
:15:28. > :15:30.your friend because it could have been awful. Anything could have
:15:31. > :15:34.happened to him if she did not come in and if my daughter did not open
:15:35. > :15:40.the door to her. It is such a miracle, she is a hero so I am
:15:41. > :15:45.really grateful. And this young lady also, pretty impressive as well. It
:15:46. > :15:49.is such a lovely story and such a lovely family and thank you for
:15:50. > :15:56.allowing us into your home and as you can see, baby Jonathan is...
:15:57. > :16:01.All, I wanted another look at that tiny little baby.
:16:02. > :16:08.He is doing very well! Are thank you. It makes me want
:16:09. > :16:13.another, the boss will be pleased! Before 7:00pm: They're coming to
:16:14. > :16:15.Yorkshire for the first time in more than 400 years.
:16:16. > :16:18.Find out where you can see these world`famous dancing horses.
:16:19. > :16:27.And why this tiny Yorkshire building has just won nationwide recognition.
:16:28. > :16:34.I remember one of my friends saying he was posher than me because he
:16:35. > :16:38.read the New Statesman. Posher than Harry! A thinking man's
:16:39. > :16:41.magazine, he said, as I discarded the rugby leaguer! Well, that
:16:42. > :16:44.magazine has been doing some thinking and has dedicated its
:16:45. > :16:48.latest issue just to us in the North, to show once and for all that
:16:49. > :16:50.the north/south divide should be no more.
:16:51. > :16:54.All the old cliche's about living up t'north should be ignored, it says,
:16:55. > :16:57.and we spoke to author and DJ Stuart McConi,e a Lancastrian, but we won't
:16:58. > :17:05.dwell on that, about the stereotype phrases often used in the south to
:17:06. > :17:10.describe us up here! Well, I should say that I am not taking the Mickey
:17:11. > :17:13.out of the north, I am taking the Mickey out of people who cliche and
:17:14. > :17:17.characterise the north. That was the idea of it. They came to me and
:17:18. > :17:21.asked me to write a piece about how to write about the North which of
:17:22. > :17:25.course is really how not to write about the North. It is how the
:17:26. > :17:31.southern `based journalists always do it. They always resort to cliche
:17:32. > :17:35.and we are city faced Pittman or urchins kicking a ball in the street
:17:36. > :17:41.or sparking clogs. We are work`shy, brassy, women of easy virtue. We are
:17:42. > :17:46.comedians when we are not criminals. What I wanted to say is that I am
:17:47. > :17:49.not angry about it, I am not angry and banging my fist on the table but
:17:50. > :17:54.it bores me and oppresses me a little bit how we are all seen in
:17:55. > :17:59.just one way. We are always good at football and pop music and fighting
:18:00. > :18:06.and we are funny. We are also, by the way, we split the atom. If you
:18:07. > :18:10.dare to speak up for the North of England, you have a chip on your
:18:11. > :18:15.shoulder. As I say, we split the atom, we invented the computer.
:18:16. > :18:21.Vegetarianism grew out of the North, feminism, Communism. We write
:18:22. > :18:25.great poetry and plays. We have the best landscape in Britain and we are
:18:26. > :18:29.a lot more than Britain's court jesters. Why is the New Statesman
:18:30. > :18:32.out today down south are not released until tomorrow, is it
:18:33. > :18:37.something to do with carrier pigeons? Welcome you know, I used to
:18:38. > :18:43.think that. When my whole world revolved about getting the NME in
:18:44. > :18:47.Wigan and I used to find out that it came out earlier in London and I
:18:48. > :18:51.don't know why. I suppose it takes time to filter down through the
:18:52. > :18:55.pigeon network. Rest assured it will be there on your breakfast tables in
:18:56. > :19:03.the morning. So, what are the benefits of Yorkshire? You are
:19:04. > :19:07.asking a Lancastrian! Well, we have this opinion about each other. You
:19:08. > :19:12.think we are soft and a bit silly and we think you are miserable and
:19:13. > :19:16.tight with your money. There is a bit of truth in each of those. I say
:19:17. > :19:20.to London when they speak about Arsenal and Chelsea having a
:19:21. > :19:24.rivalry. I say that Lancashire and Yorkshire 's arrival. Are you
:19:25. > :19:31.familiar of the Battle of Towton. This is a proper rivalry! At heart,
:19:32. > :19:34.when we talk about southerners, we really mean Londoners. I don't think
:19:35. > :19:39.either of us have anything against people from Cornwall... Do you think
:19:40. > :19:43.there is a divide there, is the North /South divide still there?
:19:44. > :19:47.Massively but it is North and London divide. People in the North have a
:19:48. > :19:51.lot of time for south Wales and Cornwall and Devon but I do think
:19:52. > :19:56.they get very knocked about the fact that a handful of postal districts
:19:57. > :20:03.around and W one set the agenda for the whole of the country and they
:20:04. > :20:06.feel they are doing us a favour by coming up and mixing with us. It has
:20:07. > :20:10.been lovely to talk to you but that is a southern softy shirt that you
:20:11. > :20:13.are wearing. We are all aspirational and we can lift ourselves up. We
:20:14. > :20:18.don't have to be unsophisticated, you know! We can mix with the best
:20:19. > :20:22.of them sartorially! Thank you very much.
:20:23. > :20:25.He is a sharp chap! Well, staying on the theme of
:20:26. > :20:28.culture in the north what do you know about Spanish riding?
:20:29. > :20:30.430 years of tradition, the school in Vienna cultivates classical
:20:31. > :20:34.equitation in the Renaissance tradition of the haute ecole! You
:20:35. > :20:38.see I do read the New Statesman! What you mean is dancing horses.
:20:39. > :20:41.Well, they are coming to Yorkshire for the first time. Next year
:20:42. > :20:50.they'll be in Sheffield with special guests from TeamGB. Danny Carpenter
:20:51. > :20:57.has this. This is Britain's Lee Pearson, a
:20:58. > :21:02.Paralympic gold medallist. The discipline is dressage, horse rider
:21:03. > :21:10.in perfect harmony. This is dressage with bells on!
:21:11. > :21:20.The world`famous Spanish Riding School and its Sally ends. 400 years
:21:21. > :21:26.of training and tradition and horsemanship. It is awe`inspiring.
:21:27. > :21:30.`` stallions. This is the third time I have done a display with them. I
:21:31. > :21:35.remember doing it in Wembley and there were guys hiding in the corner
:21:36. > :21:39.to watch me ride. It was awe`inspiring to see what they are
:21:40. > :21:42.doing. They are talented people and they are very impressive to watch
:21:43. > :21:48.anyway so watching them with their horses is an honour. Next year will
:21:49. > :21:53.be the first time that the show has come to the North of England, to
:21:54. > :21:58.Sheffield. For people like those who work here, it is an obvious draw,
:21:59. > :22:02.but for presenter Nicky Chapman, it is also about inspiration. You do
:22:03. > :22:07.not need to have hundreds of thousands of pounds in the bank to
:22:08. > :22:10.become a gold medal winner. That is the most important message that
:22:11. > :22:19.comes through because the UK has a history of horse men and women and
:22:20. > :22:22.it is such a strong tradition that I think it is even more important now
:22:23. > :22:25.to say to people that anybody could take up riding, whatever your
:22:26. > :22:31.ability you can enjoy it. This may be about as far removed from pony
:22:32. > :22:38.trekking as you can get, but who knows what the visit of these famous
:22:39. > :22:41.equestrians might inspire. I actually saw those in Vienna. They
:22:42. > :22:43.are beautiful. Did you? I will see them in
:22:44. > :22:47.Sheffield! In the 1940s there were 10,000
:22:48. > :22:50.signal boxes in use on our railway lines. Now with new technology
:22:51. > :22:52.taking over, only 500 exist. Three Yorkshire boxes have today been
:22:53. > :22:55.given Grade II listed status, to preserve the buildings and
:22:56. > :23:02.mechanical workings before they become obsolete. Heidi Tomlinson
:23:03. > :23:07.reports. Things are done the old`fashioned
:23:08. > :23:16.way at Marston Moor on the York to Harrogate line. IV has worked here
:23:17. > :23:23.since 1978. The chimes, how cue to close the crossing gates to traffic.
:23:24. > :23:27.The bell goes again which means a train is imminent. Ivy then listen
:23:28. > :23:31.`` pull the lever to raise the signal. This was once used as a
:23:32. > :23:35.station and there is a platform here but in the last 40 years the trains
:23:36. > :23:46.have just rumbled through with the drivers relying on the mechanical
:23:47. > :23:51.semaphore signals. It is a simple system. If the arm is raised, it is
:23:52. > :23:57.effectively a green light and if lowered, red. The frame makes this
:23:58. > :24:01.165`year`old signal box special which is one of the reasons it has
:24:02. > :24:09.been given listed status along with two others in North Yorkshire. It
:24:10. > :24:17.deserves that status because it is truly old, but very reliable. I put
:24:18. > :24:24.the keys into the gate locks, I'd pull off and then the signal comes
:24:25. > :24:30.off. It has never failed you? It has never failed, no. I have been here
:24:31. > :24:36.35 years and the work is very interesting and I have loved every
:24:37. > :24:41.second of it. But modernisation is inevitable. In a few years time the
:24:42. > :24:46.Marston Moor signal box will be decommissioned. We have to move with
:24:47. > :24:50.the times with the increasing demand in rail services so we are moving to
:24:51. > :24:54.operating centres that allow us to run more trains more efficiently and
:24:55. > :24:58.unfortunately these signal boxes will not be used any more. Hence the
:24:59. > :25:06.listed status, protection for a piece of railway history.
:25:07. > :25:10.They are just lovely. Emily Wightman, if you are watching their
:25:11. > :25:16.is a message here for Paul. Every time you come on to do be whether my
:25:17. > :25:20.mum says, I used to put his make up on on my make`up counter!
:25:21. > :25:25.You are joking! Was that what you did at school?
:25:26. > :25:28.I am going to the pub next week so I will get some right stick.
:25:29. > :25:32.I'm sure I must have been very young. That is even worse!
:25:33. > :25:39.young. That is Let me show you a picture. This is a
:25:40. > :25:46.lovely picture of mist and fog in this valley bottom. This second one
:25:47. > :25:47.could be the Lake District. This is just outside Rotherham. Keep the
:25:48. > :25:57.pictures coming. The headline for tomorrow. It is not
:25:58. > :26:01.too bad with a bit of rain at first and then it turns funny from the
:26:02. > :26:08.north`west. It will turn windy with gales in coastal areas. It will be a
:26:09. > :26:12.cleaner north`west which brings the sunshine. There has been a lot of
:26:13. > :26:16.cloud around today which has been thick enough to produce a little
:26:17. > :26:21.drizzle. There could be breaks through the course of this evening.
:26:22. > :26:25.Those breaks could lead to mist and patchy fog in places. That will
:26:26. > :26:33.shift and as the wind picks up the cloud will thicken and rain moves in
:26:34. > :26:44.from the North West. These are your sunrise times. These are high water
:26:45. > :26:48.times. A cloudy and damp start and windy as well. The rain will pull
:26:49. > :26:53.away to the South East. Most places will be dry by mid`morning ``
:26:54. > :26:57.mid`morning. Most places will be funny in the afternoon with just a
:26:58. > :27:01.chance of the odd shower clipping in on the western side of the Pennines.
:27:02. > :27:05.It will improve and a lot of sunshine tomorrow afternoon with a
:27:06. > :27:09.chill wind. Gales in coastal areas tomorrow evening and highs of eight
:27:10. > :27:17.or nine degrees. Average for the time of year. The weekend will be
:27:18. > :27:26.predominantly dry. Saturday will be mainly Sunni. A chill wind. A lot
:27:27. > :27:29.more cloud around at times. Your lip gloss looks terrific.
:27:30. > :27:33.Just before we go, if you'd like to go to the BBC's Sports Personality
:27:34. > :27:36.Of The Year, which is being held in Leeds in a couple of weeks, there's
:27:37. > :27:39.still a chance. A limited number of additional tickets go on sale
:27:40. > :27:42.tomorrow morning at 9.00am. They're priced between ?40 and ?60. For all
:27:43. > :27:46.the information go online. Good luck! Enjoy the rest of your
:27:47. > :27:51.evening. Good night.
