:00:00. > :00:00.let-up. Thank you. That is all from the BBC News at Six. Goodbye.
:00:00. > :00:11.Our Hello and welcome to Wednesday's Look North: Tonight, jail for the
:00:12. > :00:14.man who killed his grandmother before stabbing a schoolboy in a
:00:15. > :00:17.Yorkshire park. Nathaniel Flynn is beginning a 24 year prison sentence;
:00:18. > :00:24.police have paid tribute to the nine`year`old who survived his
:00:25. > :00:31.attack. He has been an absolute superstar. We are all immensely
:00:32. > :00:40.proud of him, the courage he has shown.
:00:41. > :00:43.On the day of Ronnie Biggs' death, Yorkshire provides the backdrop to a
:00:44. > :00:49.new film about the Great Train Robbery. And we'll tell you the best
:00:50. > :00:53.way to cook your Christmas Dinner...in a steam engine!
:00:54. > :01:00.What a beautiful shot in the sunshine. A detailed forecast
:01:01. > :01:01.follows and it does look very unsettled, some heavy rain on the
:01:02. > :01:14.way. Join me for that. Tonight, man who killed his
:01:15. > :01:17.grandmother before going out and stabbing a nine`year`old boy in a
:01:18. > :01:20.random attack in Shipley has been given a 24`year jail sentence.
:01:21. > :01:24.26`year`old Nathaniel Flynn pleaded guilty to murder and attempted
:01:25. > :01:27.murder earlier this month. As Spencer Stokes, reports, detectives
:01:28. > :01:31.said he'd never explained why he'd carried out the attacks, but it was
:01:32. > :01:41.only through "sheer luck" the young boy wasn't murdered as well.
:01:42. > :01:45.Nathaniel Flynn is tonight beginning a 24 year sentence for murdering his
:01:46. > :01:51.grandmother and attempting to murder a nine`year`old boy on a summers
:01:52. > :01:55.evening. He stabbed his grandmother more than 50 times at the home they
:01:56. > :02:02.shared. Later that same day he approached Jason and stabbed him in
:02:03. > :02:08.the chest and arm. After being attacked, Jason ran home with blood
:02:09. > :02:14.streaming from his arm. Bursting through his front door he old to his
:02:15. > :02:22.dad shouting, I feel dizzy. A trail of blood from the Park led to the
:02:23. > :02:26.house. Jason's father carried out first aid and the youngster was
:02:27. > :02:31.taken by helicopter to the hospital. His father described as a superstar.
:02:32. > :02:36.We are all immensely proud of him, the courage he has showed. The
:02:37. > :02:42.valise officers I have worked with, we wish the very best of luck for
:02:43. > :02:47.the future. We hope he goes on to be an extremely successful young man.
:02:48. > :02:56.Nathaniel Flynn had spent most of the day in Shipley. This CCTV foot
:02:57. > :03:07.edge shows him in a shop. He was arrested by armed officers at 4am.
:03:08. > :03:16.This afternoon Mrs Denby's family said... Jason suffered nerve damage
:03:17. > :03:19.after being stabbed last week he met the Prime Minister in Downing Street
:03:20. > :03:24.after being invited to London by his MBE. He showed me Winston
:03:25. > :03:31.Churchill's picture on the wall. I saw a really big Christmas tree
:03:32. > :03:35.inside. We wanted to show him that people do care about what happens.
:03:36. > :03:40.It has been an amazing day and we have enjoyed it. People have been
:03:41. > :03:44.thinking about us as well. West Yorkshire Police say they have no
:03:45. > :03:55.idea why Nathaniel Flynn carried out the attacks. Tests showed he was a
:03:56. > :03:57.drug user. Manslaughter charges could be
:03:58. > :04:00.brought against some South Yorkshire senior police officers following the
:04:01. > :04:04.Hillsborough disaster in 1989. And they could come as early as this
:04:05. > :04:06.time next year. So says the policeman leading the new criminal
:04:07. > :04:09.investigation into the tragedy in which ninety`six Liverpool football
:04:10. > :04:12.fans died. Assistant Commissioner Jon Stoddart says Operation Resolve
:04:13. > :04:21.is looking into the question of unlawful killing. Our crime
:04:22. > :04:25.correspondent John Cundy reports. Almost a quarter of a century after
:04:26. > :04:32.the Hillsborough disaster, the bereaved Liverpool families believe
:04:33. > :04:39.the inside of justice for their loved ones. Two major investigations
:04:40. > :04:43.continue. They were ordered after last year's panel report which
:04:44. > :04:50.totally discredited South Yorkshire's police role at
:04:51. > :04:56.Hillsborough. One enquiry is by the police complaints commission. 200
:04:57. > :05:06.police officers, some retired, looking to find new inspiration for
:05:07. > :05:12.the new inquest. The man in charge, Jon Stoddart is one of the
:05:13. > :05:19.country's most experienced detectives. He says the scale of the
:05:20. > :05:24.enquiry is unprecedented. We are acting on behalf of the coroner. We
:05:25. > :05:28.are helping him in terms of gathering all the evidence that he
:05:29. > :05:34.needs to fulfil his statutory obligation to prove or disprove
:05:35. > :05:39.whether or not the 96 people were lawfully or unlawfully killed. This
:05:40. > :05:41.criminal investigation is seeking evidence which could lead eventually
:05:42. > :05:45.to manslaughter charges against South Yorkshire police with senior
:05:46. > :05:50.officers at the time and other bodies. Jon Stoddart and his team
:05:51. > :05:54.will have sifted through more than half a million documents before the
:05:55. > :05:58.work is done late next year. Finally helping to seek the full truth about
:05:59. > :06:05.what happened that day at Hillsborough.
:06:06. > :06:10.Later on Look North: We've had a special visitor to the Look North
:06:11. > :06:15.studios. We sent Ian White out on a special mission.
:06:16. > :06:19.This is where Paul Hudson's biggest fan is actually at the moment having
:06:20. > :06:26.a lesson. Let's go in and surprise him.
:06:27. > :06:29.Look North has learnt that at least eight of our councils are to defy
:06:30. > :06:32.the government and increase council tax next year. Ministers announced
:06:33. > :06:36.today that every authority in the country is to receive a three per
:06:37. > :06:39.cent cut in funding from central government; well it seems most of
:06:40. > :06:51.our councils plan to plug the gap by putting up rates. All of West
:06:52. > :06:54.Yorkshire's authorities have told us they're planning an increase. In
:06:55. > :06:57.South Yorkshire we know ` so far ` that council tax in Sheffield and
:06:58. > :07:00.Doncaster is to rise. Conservative`run North Yorkshire is
:07:01. > :07:03.also planning a hike. All the increases are between 1.5 and two
:07:04. > :07:05.per cent. Len Tingle's in Northallerton now where North
:07:06. > :07:08.Yorkshire County Council's based. They've been asked specifically by
:07:09. > :07:14.the government not to raise council tax, so why are they doing it. This
:07:15. > :07:18.is the third year in a row that the government have said the council tax
:07:19. > :07:26.should not be raised. This year five councils have said that they do not
:07:27. > :07:30.believe that there is sufficient facts to be cut, so they have put up
:07:31. > :07:34.their rates by the 2% that it is allowed before it triggers a local
:07:35. > :07:40.referendum. Next year it could be 8%. `` eight councils. They say if
:07:41. > :07:45.they cannot raise more revenue, they will have to cut front line
:07:46. > :07:49.services. They do everything from collecting the dustbins to providing
:07:50. > :07:58.education, social services and highways. How unusual is a Tory lead
:07:59. > :08:01.counsel to go against the party? It is becoming less unusual than you
:08:02. > :08:08.think. It reckons that around two thirds of county councils across the
:08:09. > :08:17.country and most of them in `` are Conservatives lead, will put up
:08:18. > :08:21.their rates. If they put up the rates by 2%, then that means they
:08:22. > :08:26.will have to make something like ?2.3 million a year less than the
:08:27. > :08:34.rate have to cut. They have already cut by ?40 million. Thank you very
:08:35. > :08:38.much. Detectives are trying to discover
:08:39. > :08:41.who murdered a man in Sheffield on Monday night. Simon Holdsworth, who
:08:42. > :08:44.was 36, was described as hard working and a family man. He died
:08:45. > :08:47.from severe head injuries in what police have described as an
:08:48. > :08:50.horrendous assault. Now they're appealing for help to find his
:08:51. > :08:53.killer and believe someone in the Hackenthorpe area of Sheffield is
:08:54. > :09:00.the key to solving this case. Olivia Richwald reports.
:09:01. > :09:04.A hard`working family man, that is how police have described Simon
:09:05. > :09:09.Holdsworth who was murdered as he made his way home from work on
:09:10. > :09:13.Monday night. Today police officers held a press conference at the scene
:09:14. > :09:17.as the dedicated 40 officers to the investigation. This is an appalling
:09:18. > :09:22.crime and the pain and revulsion is shared across Sheffield. We have
:09:23. > :09:27.someone who has committed a brutal crime. We will ring our resources to
:09:28. > :09:35.bring this person to justice very quickly. Simon Holdsworth worked as
:09:36. > :09:40.a paint sprayer. He had finished work just before 11pm on Monday and
:09:41. > :09:44.got the 120 heading towards Bristol peaks. That bus journey would have
:09:45. > :09:50.taken around ten minutes and from there he would have had a short walk
:09:51. > :09:56.all. But his body was found at around 6:30am in the entrance to
:09:57. > :10:01.this field. He had died from severe head injuries. The murder scene is
:10:02. > :10:09.opposite this pub. The landlord had cut `` closed early that night.
:10:10. > :10:14.Shocked, very shocked about it. Simon Holdsworth died less than 100
:10:15. > :10:18.metres from a school. People say there is usually very little crime
:10:19. > :10:26.in this area and until the killer is caught, officers will be increasing
:10:27. > :10:29.their patrols. In other news, unemployment in
:10:30. > :10:31.Yorkshire fell between August and October, official figures have
:10:32. > :10:35.shown. During the three month period, there were 239,000 people
:10:36. > :10:37.without a job in Yorkshire and the Humber, that's 6,000 fewer than the
:10:38. > :10:42.previous quarter. The unemployment rate has also fallen to 8.6 per cent
:10:43. > :10:48.but remains the third highest in the country.
:10:49. > :10:52.A man from Barnsley who murdered his baby son has been sentenced to life
:10:53. > :10:55.in prison. Michael Beaumont has been told he'll spend at least 18 years
:10:56. > :10:59.in jail for killing 11`month`old Kadan, who died from a heavy blow to
:11:00. > :11:02.the head. He blamed the family dog. Police have called it a "shocking
:11:03. > :11:06.case of violence from a parent". Kadan's mother Helen Barnes, seen
:11:07. > :11:15.here in the black coat, has been given a six`month suspended sentence
:11:16. > :11:19.for neglect. No snow so far for the festive season but with the cold and
:11:20. > :11:22.high winds forecast, the highest pub in Britain is taking no chances.
:11:23. > :11:26.The Tan Hill Inn, above Swaledale in North Yorkshire stands at an
:11:27. > :11:28.altitude of more than 1700 feet. And the landlady is taking drastic
:11:29. > :11:32.action to ensure that regulars can get to ` and from ` the famous
:11:33. > :11:42.watering hole. She's managed to get her hands on a massive snow plough.
:11:43. > :11:46.A retired teacher from York with terminal cancer wants the right to
:11:47. > :11:49.be able to get expert advice from doctors on finding a humane way to
:11:50. > :11:52.ending her life once the disease becomes unbearable. Written evidence
:11:53. > :11:56.from Margaret John is being heard in the Supreme Court as part of the
:11:57. > :11:59.case being taken by Paul Lamb, a man from Leeds paralysed after a road
:12:00. > :12:06.accident. Charlotte Leeming's been to meet her.
:12:07. > :12:15.73 ruled market John `` 73`year`old Margaret John was diagnosed with
:12:16. > :12:19.cancer three years ago. I went to see my doctor to say, in all you
:12:20. > :12:26.cannot talk about assisted suicide because that not `` is not on, but I
:12:27. > :12:32.want to discuss what happens with end of life. Let's start of whether
:12:33. > :12:47.I do not kill people. I want to die at home with my own things around
:12:48. > :12:54.me. Preferably to latch Ravi Attar `` `` La Traviata. People will
:12:55. > :13:00.sympathise with you. Tell us about why you feel so strongly about the
:13:01. > :13:04.right to die. If were people were away the my doctor had discussed it
:13:05. > :13:11.with me, there will be some busybody somewhere who will accuse him of
:13:12. > :13:15.assisted suicide. My doctor is a very caring doctor. He has been very
:13:16. > :13:20.honest with me very early on. I don't want him to be at risk of
:13:21. > :13:29.prosecution. Tell us what your children think of this. I do not
:13:30. > :13:34.think they would try to have me revive, they know how I feel. Do you
:13:35. > :13:39.feel confident that you will know when it is the end and how would you
:13:40. > :13:51.like it to be when it comes to that time? I have felt sympathy for
:13:52. > :13:54.people in a vegetative state. That is not living, that is existence and
:13:55. > :14:02.I want to keep on living to the full as long as possible.
:14:03. > :14:06.Before seven o'clock: Joe Sayers will be here to talk about his life
:14:07. > :14:12.with the Yorkshire team ` and England's Ashes disaster! And we
:14:13. > :14:22.take to the tracks, for a Christmas dinner with a difference.
:14:23. > :14:24.He'll be remembered as arguably the most infamous of the Great Train
:14:25. > :14:28.Robbers. Ronnie Biggs, who died today, was
:14:29. > :14:31.one of the gang of sixteen who held up a mail train in 1963. Tonight, by
:14:32. > :14:35.co`incidence, a new drama called 'The Great Train Robbery' airs on
:14:36. > :14:38.BBC One. Many of the scenes were filmed here in Yorkshire on the
:14:39. > :14:41.Worth Valley Railway in Keighley. Yes, and it's not the first time
:14:42. > :14:44.Yorkshire has formed the backdrop to a high profile production. In fact
:14:45. > :14:49.one film producer has described it as the Hollywood of England. Joe
:14:50. > :15:03.inwood reports. They called the crime the century.
:15:04. > :15:07.The actual create train robbery when ?2.6 million was stolen to place in
:15:08. > :15:15.Bucks but its dramatisation was made here, the Worth Valley Railway. But
:15:16. > :15:18.despite its many evident virtues, not least a working locomotive, it
:15:19. > :15:27.was not without challenges as a location. Trying to recreate the
:15:28. > :15:32.West Coast mainline in August when we had snow was the biggest
:15:33. > :15:39.challenge I have faced in my life. Is `` it is just the latest example
:15:40. > :15:46.of big budget productions coming to the area. Indeed, 20 productions are
:15:47. > :15:53.planned for next year or are underway in Yorkshire. Or is it has
:15:54. > :15:58.been dubbed, England's Hollywood. The film industry in a region is
:15:59. > :16:05.becoming big business. But in this case, business carried out by
:16:06. > :16:12.volunteers. It is anti`social, filming at night. A big commitment
:16:13. > :16:16.for our volunteers. The gang were both romanticised and vilified,
:16:17. > :16:22.never more so than today with the death of Ronnie Biggs. In the drama
:16:23. > :16:26.reflects a contradiction. Tonight's Park tells the robbers steal.
:16:27. > :16:36.Tomorrow that of the police who investigated the Great Train
:16:37. > :16:43.Robbery. `` part. I am intrigued by that. I will have to watch that
:16:44. > :16:46.tonight. Sport now, and we wouldn't normally be talking about cricket at
:16:47. > :16:49.this time of year, especially when England have just given up The Ashes
:16:50. > :16:52.in Australia! But, this winter we have a chance to
:16:53. > :16:56.get to know the Yorkshire squad better than ever before, thanks to a
:16:57. > :16:59.book that's been authored from inside the dressing room! The author
:17:00. > :17:04.in question is none other than Joe Sayers ` batsman and now writer! Joe
:17:05. > :17:09.joins us in the studio. Thank you for coming in. First we
:17:10. > :17:16.have got to start with the Ashes. What has gone so wrong with England?
:17:17. > :17:19.It has been disappointing. It is fair to say the results in the
:17:20. > :17:25.summer in the first chapter of the Ashes series was flattering for the
:17:26. > :17:30.England side. But it is a very difficult place to pull things
:17:31. > :17:34.around. If you are going to early in Australia, the Australians are good
:17:35. > :17:39.at reading from the front. We just Mitchell Johnson there. He has
:17:40. > :17:45.performed really well. England have not come up with the answers,
:17:46. > :17:50.unfortunately. Geoffrey Boycott yesterday said that England needs
:17:51. > :17:55.new blood. Do you think that is true? I think that is fair to say.
:17:56. > :18:00.You have to be careful at times like this not to overreact to stop the
:18:01. > :18:04.players will be very disappointed but there are still two matches left
:18:05. > :18:09.in the series, no reason why England cannot win both of those. And return
:18:10. > :18:17.home with a disappointing result, but not the car crash we have at the
:18:18. > :18:24.moment full top let's talk about the book. This is a diary, essentially.
:18:25. > :18:29.Why did you do it? I have always wanted to write a book. There was no
:18:30. > :18:35.better opportunity than the 150th anniversary year at the County
:18:36. > :18:39.Cricket club. And one where we had a group of exciting players. Luckily
:18:40. > :18:44.it was an eventful summer and eventful season. We just missed out
:18:45. > :18:53.on the championship trophy. 20 of things to write about. `` plenty.
:18:54. > :19:03.How did your colleagues feel about it? The players were very
:19:04. > :19:09.supportive. The first 11 coach was supportive as well. That was really
:19:10. > :19:24.important to meet, to have that support it. You talk about Joe Root
:19:25. > :19:28.in the book, or 'Rooty' as you refer to him and his success at such a
:19:29. > :19:42.young age I have just turned 30 and I am one of the more senior players.
:19:43. > :19:49.Joe Root is fantastic. Second in the championship this year, can we get
:19:50. > :19:56.to number one? Yes, that is possible. Thank you for coming in.
:19:57. > :20:04.The book does give an amazing insight into the game and a by day
:20:05. > :20:09.life. I would like to get a copy for my son. He is a keen cricketer as
:20:10. > :20:12.well. Let's talk turkey now and I know I
:20:13. > :20:17.can't wait for my Christmas dinner. Will you be cooking it then? Well
:20:18. > :20:21.I'm sure whoever does it, it'll be easier to cook in a kitchen than on
:20:22. > :20:24.the footplate of a steam train! Danny Carpenter has been to the
:20:25. > :20:33.National Railway Museum in York to see a traditional festive feast
:20:34. > :20:42.cooked up in the firebox of a loco. This is tradition, sort of. Pigs in
:20:43. > :20:46.blankets at feast of their `` festive fare. And engine drivers
:20:47. > :20:52.would have sorted out a hot breakfast on a cold day. You have
:20:53. > :21:01.got a shovel, frying pan. You have the fire, Bob. Why not? This is
:21:02. > :21:08.pushing your luck. Turkey, veg and even the Christmas foods are going
:21:09. > :21:12.in here. Christmas dinner, we could do every day if we wanted. The type
:21:13. > :21:19.of work we do is suited to putting that sort of then. If you want to do
:21:20. > :21:25.that on the big engine, you cannot do that. You are working them too
:21:26. > :21:29.long, too hot, you would end up burning it. The fire is lit, the
:21:30. > :21:41.steam is her sing in the dinner is in. We just need some cooking time,
:21:42. > :21:47.three hours or so. `` hissing. At the moment of truth is truly
:21:48. > :21:51.momentous. Moist, mouthwatering and looked to perfection. That is how to
:21:52. > :21:53.take the hassle out of the big day and end up with a Christmas pud that
:21:54. > :22:13.has been truly steamed. I hope those sprouts taste all
:22:14. > :22:17.right. Now it's hard to believe, but there's a young lad out there who
:22:18. > :22:21.wants to be Paul Hudson when he grows up! His dad Kenny wrote in
:22:22. > :22:24.last week to tell us about seven`year`old Ben, who won't go to
:22:25. > :22:27.bed until he's watched the weather forecast. And he actually dressed up
:22:28. > :22:32.as Paul when his school asked them to go as someone they wanted to be
:22:33. > :22:36.when they got older. Well we thought we'd unite Ben with his hero ` Ian
:22:37. > :22:47.White popped into class to surprise him.
:22:48. > :22:51.Good morning, everybody. I just wondered if there is something
:22:52. > :22:55.called Ben in the room? I have a surprise for you, because you are
:22:56. > :23:00.going to come with me to the BBC studios right now, and you are going
:23:01. > :23:03.to meet Paul Hudson and you are going to come and do the weather
:23:04. > :23:10.with us. What do you think about that? When Ben got over the shock he
:23:11. > :23:17.arrived at our studios with his mum and dad to meet his hero. I am here
:23:18. > :23:21.to see Paul Hudson. Unlike most boys in West Yorkshire, he did not seem
