Good evening and welcome to Look North.

:00:11.:00:17.

The Yorkshire Wildlife Trust has condemned plans for the high speed

:00:18.:00:21.

rail link HS2 as a "disaster" for the environment which will destroy

:00:22.:00:23.

one of its reserves and seriously damage another. They're calling for

:00:24.:00:26.

a total rethink saying the cost benefits of the project do not

:00:27.:00:29.

outweigh the environmental losses. Danny Carpenter reports.

:00:30.:00:32.

This is Woodhouse Washlands, a Yorkshire Wildlife Trust nature

:00:33.:00:34.

reserve near Sheffield. And this is Water Haigh Woodland

:00:35.:00:37.

Park, a nature reserve run by the trust for Leeds City Council.

:00:38.:00:44.

They have something else in common: HS2.

:00:45.:00:54.

The main HS2 line is coming up straight through the park here, it

:00:55.:00:59.

is going to run down what is now the Trans Pennine Trail.

:01:00.:01:05.

Rob Stoneman is the trust's Chief Executive. He says that more than

:01:06.:01:10.

2500 square kilometres of designated nature reserves will be destroyed by

:01:11.:01:13.

the line between Leeds and London. And he has no faith in the planning

:01:14.:01:17.

system to defend it. What we've got to do is take a

:01:18.:01:21.

landscape by landscape approach and actually go beyond the statutory

:01:22.:01:24.

process, so I haven't really got faith. And it's not really HS2's

:01:25.:01:27.

fault, really, they're using a statutory process which is actually

:01:28.:01:30.

bust and we can see it's bust because British wildlife has

:01:31.:01:33.

declined year`on` year in the last 60 years.

:01:34.:01:37.

HS2 is supported by those calling for jobs and growth, but according

:01:38.:01:41.

to the trust, the economic argument is weak. We will create

:01:42.:01:47.

opportunities elsewhere where there has been impact on by biodiversity.

:01:48.:01:57.

It is perhaps not a direct comparison but according to HS2's

:01:58.:02:00.

figures, for every ?1 invested in that project you'll get almost ?2

:02:01.:02:08.

back. But for every ?1 invested in a cycle route like this, you get

:02:09.:02:14.

almost ?20 back. The financial cost of HS2 is going to be more than ?40

:02:15.:02:18.

billion and will result in the destruction of many green spaces.

:02:19.:02:20.

Who can put a price on that? An ice`cream company's being

:02:21.:02:32.

investigated by North Yorkshire Police for what's thought to be

:02:33.:02:34.

deliberate contamination of their products. R Foods in Leeming Bar

:02:35.:02:38.

is at the centre of an investigation after chocolate and nut ice cream

:02:39.:02:42.

cones made for Tesco had to be recalled. Pain relief tablets were

:02:43.:02:45.

found in two cones and the Major Crime Unit is investigating. The

:02:46.:02:47.

Food Standards Agency says people who bought the packs, with best

:02:48.:02:51.

before dates up to and including July 2014, should not eat them as a

:02:52.:03:00.

precaution. The company says it has now introduced additional security

:03:01.:03:07.

measures. Businesses in Yorkshire are being

:03:08.:03:10.

urged to make the safety of their employees a top priority for 2014.

:03:11.:03:13.

It's after figures released today by the Health and Safety Executive show

:03:14.:03:16.

fifteen workers were killed in Yorkshire and the Humber between

:03:17.:03:21.

2012 and 2013. The figures also show that more than 1800 people suffered

:03:22.:03:25.

major injuries, a fall of 16% on the previous year.

:03:26.:03:35.

Bassetlaw MP John Mann says that MPs should give any pay rise to charity.

:03:36.:03:38.

He's calling for the independent body which sets their pay to face

:03:39.:03:46.

constraints. He says proposals to give MPs a ?7,000 pay rise are

:03:47.:03:50.

unfair, when everyone else faces pay cuts or minimal rises.

:03:51.:03:55.

Tributes are being paid to the founder of the North Yorkshire Moors

:03:56.:03:59.

Railway and his wife who both died over Christmas. Tom Salmon and his

:04:00.:04:02.

wife Erica both passed away within 24 hours of each other. Nicknamed

:04:03.:04:08.

"the father of the railway", Mr Salmon was one of its founding

:04:09.:04:11.

members and is credited with much of its success. Erica died on Christmas

:04:12.:04:15.

Eve and was quickly followed by her husband on Christmas morning. Trains

:04:16.:04:18.

will continue to run over the New Year but will carry wreaths as a

:04:19.:04:22.

mark of respect in memory of the couple.

:04:23.:04:26.

Football now and all of our teams were in action yesterday. The busy

:04:27.:04:29.

festive period continues and there was no shortage of seasonal joy at

:04:30.:04:32.

the John Smith's Stadium in Huddersfield, as Ian Bucknell

:04:33.:04:35.

reports. After going a goal down early on,

:04:36.:04:38.

Huddersfield's performance was five`star. Adam Clayton tickled one

:04:39.:04:41.

in at the near post, followed by Martin Paterson's net buster.

:04:42.:04:44.

Defender Joel Lynch made it three and after the break, a double from

:04:45.:04:48.

Danny Ward sealed the 5`1 win with a bit of help from the Yeovil keeper.

:04:49.:04:56.

I thought we were standing the whole game, the supporters got behind us.

:04:57.:05:01.

We kept moving the ball and kept trying to create chances. It was a

:05:02.:05:05.

little bit frustrating in the last ten minutes because we have done so

:05:06.:05:09.

well for the previous 80. Ross MacCormack pulled Leeds level

:05:10.:05:12.

at Nottingham Forest, but the home side soon came back to win 2`1.

:05:13.:05:16.

Leeds boss Brian McDermott says he has four players on his January

:05:17.:05:19.

shopping list to try and keep his team in the mix for the play`offs.

:05:20.:05:27.

Goal of the day and arguably the best you will see all season by so

:05:28.:05:39.

Tomasz Cywka. Sadly, it did not stop his team losing 2`1 and they remain

:05:40.:05:47.

rock bottom of the championship. Jamie Murphy kept his feet and

:05:48.:05:51.

composure to put Sheffield United ahead against Tranmere. Further

:05:52.:06:00.

goals made for a 3`1 win. Mark Richards penalty put Chester ahead.

:06:01.:06:10.

Finally, York City when two goals behind when keeper fumbled here.

:06:11.:06:21.

Relegation out of the Football League are starting to live in. You

:06:22.:06:24.

can see highlights on the Football League show.

:06:25.:06:36.

Well it's been another wet and windy day and those gales meant the roads

:06:37.:06:39.

around Bridgewater Place in Leeds were closed once again.

:06:40.:06:42.

Also closed was the bottom of the Headrow. Police had to cordon off a

:06:43.:06:45.

section of the road while repairs were made to some roofing which had

:06:46.:06:49.

become loose in the strong winds. With all the details, here's Paul

:06:50.:07:02.

Mooney. Good evening. It will be wet and stormy into the New Year. It

:07:03.:07:08.

will be largely dry into the night, but by the end of the night some

:07:09.:07:12.

thicker cloud might bring in the odd shower to the West. Tomorrow morning

:07:13.:07:26.

showers become more widespread. Many places then dry up again and

:07:27.:07:31.

brighten up the course of the afternoon. The winds will not be as

:07:32.:07:41.

strong as today. If you are out and about tomorrow night to bring in the

:07:42.:07:45.

New Year, there is a good chance you will stay dry. It will be breezy, so

:07:46.:07:56.

wrap up if you are outside. For New Year 's day it looks like another

:07:57.:07:59.

band of wet and windy weather coming in from the west. Heavy rain at

:08:00.:08:05.

times. Brighter spells as we head into Thursday. A mixed bag over the

:08:06.:08:13.

next few days. It will be wet and windy. Stay up`to`date on your radio

:08:14.:08:23.

station. Thank you. That is all from us. Goodbye.

:08:24.:08:37.

Another day off strong winds, heavy rain and flooding. At least things

:08:38.:08:44.

are quiet at the moment. The rain has cleared off and the wind is

:08:45.:08:48.

lighter. There might be some ice in Scotland, but through the night the

:08:49.:08:55.

wind picks up, lifting temperatures, but more heavy rain pushing in. The

:08:56.:09:00.

rain band is not quite a significant us today, but it will leave surface

:09:01.:09:06.

water flooding. Some heavy bursts clearing Northern Ireland by first

:09:07.:09:07.
