George. Thank you. That's all so it's goodbye from me and on | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Welcome to Thursday's Look North. Our top stories tonight... | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
The head teacher and founder of one of Yorkshire's flagship free schools | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
is arrested over allegations of fraud. | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
It's part of a criminal investigation about the misuse of | :00:21. | :00:21. | |
funds. Also tonight... | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
The Deputy Prime Minister is in West Yorkshire as 300 new jobs are | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
announced. But are small businesses losing out? We'll ask him. | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
And it's the purr`fect ending for Cookie the lost kitten, who turned | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
up 300 miles from home. The sky has brightened up nicely, | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
this was Bradfield near Sheffield this afternoon. The forecast follows | :00:46. | :00:46. | |
shortly. Welcome to the programme. First | :00:47. | :00:56. | |
tonight, a dramatic development in the police investigation into | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
alleged fraud at one of Yorkshire's most high profile schools. The | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
King's Academy in Bradford was one of the first new 'free schools' to | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
open after the last general election. The Prime Minister even | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
paid it a visit in 2012. But last year it was forced to repay almost | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
?77,000 to the government when a grant was misused. | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
Now detectives have arrested its head teacher and founder, Sajid | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
Raza. From Bradford, Spencer Stokes. It was one of the first free schools | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
in the country, opening in September 2011. A flagship for the coalition | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
policy of allowing beach `` teachers, parents and community | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
groups to set up their own schools. It received funding from a | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
vice`chairman of the Conservative Party and in 2012 Prime Minister | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
visited. Last year it was revealed the school claimed tens of thousands | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
of pounds in public money which was not used for its intended purposes. | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
Today, an arrest was made. Police have confirmed they have questioned | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
a 41`year`old man as part of their investigation. | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
Wigan North understands that is Sajid Raza, the headteacher. He | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
played a key role in setting the school up, applying for funding and | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
employing staff. Lycee this afternoon he has been bailed. Ice | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
police say this afternoon. Sajid Raza was at the Prime Minister | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
buzz macro side when you visited, but since then King's Academy has | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
become something of an embarrassment for the government. `` was at the | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
Prime Minister's side when he visited. Today, one MP welcomed his | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
arrest. The disgraced behind this is that it has taken so long to arrive | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
at this position. I believe that special protection | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
was given to these people out of the school because it was a free school. | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Ice has not commented, but in a previous statement it said the | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
candidate is now being monitored and challenged by an effective | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
government body and there are strong financial control systems in place. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
Parents picking children up this afternoon seemed unconcerned. | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
I cannot fault it, at all, I am so happy how he is doing education | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
wise. I dread what will happen to our kids. I hope this allegation is | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
not real. I can't believe it, you was such a | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
good teacher, I don't know. The Prime Minister's spokesman said he | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
could not comment on the arrest but it seems unlikely David Cameron will | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
be paying a return visit to this free school any time soon. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Spencer's with us now. You met Sajid Raza before he set up the school. | :03:46. | :03:56. | |
What did he tell you? That was back in 2011, Amy. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
He said at that time he wanted it to be a different kind of school, | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
having a much longer school day open from 8am through to five o'clock in | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
the evening and children would be allowed to stay later if they wanted | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
to. You also had an idea of teachers teaching and having a separate team | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
of people to mark Brooks, so that teachers could concentrate on | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
planning outstanding lessons and not spending lots of time trawling | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
through books. He basically wanted this to be best | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
to school in Bradford with his new ideas. | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
The nicest way to put this ` it has been a difficult few months for the | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
school, what next? That investigation will continue | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
into financial mismanagement at the school and we have heard from the | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
depart for education who have said they are now trying to reclaim some | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
of the funds the school has received and in some cases has already spent. | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
Also tonight, hundreds of new jobs are being created in West Yorkshire | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
following a multi million pound Government investment. The Deputy | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, was in Leeds and Normanton today visiting | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
two factories which will take on nearly 300 people between them. | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
He also came here to answer some of your questions, and our questions. | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
More of that in a moment, but first our business correspondent, Danni | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
Hewson, reports on the businesses which have benefited from the | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
grants, and some which have not. They might make a little boxes, but | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
they have great big ideas, ideas they told the Deputy Prime Minister | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
will create nearly 200 new jobs. The expansion comes partly because of a | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
pledge of ?1 million of government cash which will bolster their own | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
investment. The more money we have, the more we can spend, so the more | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
money we can support the growth of the business with, so definitely | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
without the Regional Growth Fund's money we would not be investing as | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
much money as we have done already. So far, ?310 million of Regional | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
Growth Fund money has been earmarked for Yorkshire. That is cash the | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
government will create 56,000 new jobs. Because companies like bed | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
manufacturer Harrison Spinks have to secure Private money to run | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
alongside taxpayer's money it will help generate nearly ?200 million of | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
further investment. Despite the big smiles today there has been | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
criticism of the fund here in Yorkshire. | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
Some say the application process is too complicated, others that it | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
takes too long for the money to get to the companies and that it favours | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
bigger, more established businesses. The Regional Growth Fund has been | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
beset by delays. 50 projects have been kept waiting, | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
given up, withdrawn altogether. This is a hollow promise this afternoon. | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
And for small businesses, particularly new ones, there seems | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
no reason to even apply. When we submit applications, the | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
problems we have are things like, you don't make enough profit or | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
don't have enough turnover. Any business in its start`up years | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
is never going to be making a huge profit because there are that much | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
investment needed to begin with. When it works, it really works, but | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
it is far from perfect. Their beauty by `` Deputy premised, | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
welcome. We had from Andy Peacock who says small businesses are put | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
off from this rant because of red tape. | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
What is your reaction? When this was first set up it had a few problems. | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
If you speak to the companies now, I spoke to a few today in West | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
Yorkshire and they say they think the paperwork is reasonable. Of | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
course, you have to have checks, you cannot just throw taxpayers' money | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
at companies. Businesses say they have to apply | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
that matter employ someone to apply and businesses cannot afford that. | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Why are you giving money to Harry Ball, who are market leaders two you | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
give 6.24 million to them, why not give that to small businesses just | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
down the road? I went to the Really Useful | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
Products, a family company who make us tick boxes. They are taking ?1 | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
million. I went to bed manufacturer, a family company that | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
has been around since 1840 in the Leeds area, they are taking just ?2 | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
million. They are more than matching that with their own money and they | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
are creating more and more jobs. The difference with the Regional Growth | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
Fund is because you are making a contribution to a private sector | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
company that wants to expand anyway... But would they not have | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
expanded anyway without the government money? | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
With these big companies, there will be a decision taken in a boardroom | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
in Washington or Latin America about where to invest in new factories to | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
create jobs. If, through the Regional Growth | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
Fund, we can make a modest addition and say with this extra help will | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
you invest in Britain? That is taxpayer's money well spent. It is | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
much more successful than previous schemes which depended on the | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
largess of Whitehall. At the moment, Whitehall turned the jobs that | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
matter when I told her that haps of the jobs disappear. `` when | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
Whitehall turn that haps off the jobs disappear. | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
This question came from one of our viewers. We need something different | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
to engage the community, where the problems are. | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
You have not told me what you will do differently to engage the | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
community. Unless government provides more money to those | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
children, particularly those from the most difficult backgrounds, so | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
you can have smaller backgrounds and one`to`one tuition, politicians can | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
talk all they like, but our school system will not improve. | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
Bradford will claim they have too many classes, over 30. | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
That presumably means you have failed. Interestingly enough, if you | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
look back at what I said then, which is what we need `` we need to find | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
?2.5 billion through the pupil premium. | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
I mentioned more one`to`one tuition and education to help those children | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
from those disadvantaged backgrounds to progress. It was on the front | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
page of the Liberal Democrat manifesto, it is being delivered in | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
full. Where class sizes are too large, of course we need to do | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
something about that. That is why we have said aside ?5 billion `` set | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
aside ?5 billion to address those problems where they arise. I think | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
it is unfair on your viewers to suggest we are not delivering | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
something I happen working on for years, which is an additional pupil | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
premium to address the educational disadvantages of children from the | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
deprived backgrounds Bradford and elsewhere. We are delivering on | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
that, as I said we would. We have had some e`mails, several people | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
have asked, if you expect to be re`elected to your Sheffield seat. | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
Of course I do. It is a huge privilege to be an MP for Sheffield. | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
I take real pride in my work as a constituency MP. We have great | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
pictures of you before the last election, people out in the streets, | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
a lot of students there, I agree with Nick. | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
You think they will agree with you this tanking macro of course it is | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
going to be different `` do you think they will agree with you this | :11:21. | :11:21. | |
time? Of course it will be different, it | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
is different this time. Do you think you will win two of | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
course I will will. `` of course I will win. The | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
election had not happened yet but I am determined I will. | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
Later on Look North... A museum dedicated to the flashing | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
blue light. From Luke North tonight, somewhere | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
really, really exciting. Sheffield. And if you like police | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
cars, fire engines and ambulances this is the place to be. | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
In other news around Yorkshire, a father and his two teenage daughters | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
have been seriously injured after they were hit by a car in Sheffield. | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
This is the vehicle which is believed to have hit the three | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
pedestrians. The 52`year`old father has life threatening injuries, while | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
his daughters suffered pelvic injuries. Abbeydale Road was closed | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
for several hours this morning, causing major disruption. Chief | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
Inspector Stuart Walne described what happened. | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
You can see by the crossing in that vicinity three people have been | :12:14. | :12:24. | |
crossing the road and the Redcar has actually struck the pedestrians | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
while they are on the road. The pedestrians are all in hospital now. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
There have been serious injuries. The car driver is with police | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
officers at the moment. Police are investigating after a man | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
was found lying dead in the road near Skipton last night. The | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
47`year`old man, who is from the area, was found with head injuries | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
on the A65 at Draughton at around 7pm. He was pronounced dead at the | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
scene. North Yorkshire Police said one car hit the man as he was lying | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
in the road and several other drivers had to swerve to avoid him. | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
Witnesses are being urged to come forward. | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
White male, aged 47 years old wearing jeans, boots and a dark | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
jacket. He did have a colleague dog with him on league, so possibly | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
quite noticeable. He may have been with some friends or in a local pub | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
in the area walking alongside the road, so my appeal would be if | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
anyone was on that road and can provide us with any information, | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
please get in contact with us. The Bradford`based supermarket | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
Morrisons has reported a drop in sales over Christmas. Like`for`like | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
sales in the six weeks running up to the 4th of January were down by | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
5.6%. Morrisons described the performance as disappointing and | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
said it was due to difficult market conditions and discounts by rivals. | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
It has warned its full`year profits will be at the lower end of | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
expectations. Plans to partly demolish and rebuild | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
a listed Victorian flood defence near Huddersfield have been | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
rejected. The Butterley spillway acts as an overflow to prevent the | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
reservoir in Marsden bursting its banks. Yorkshire Water says the | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
structure needs updating to help protect the village. But today | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
planners rejected the plans. Yorkshire Water says it is likely to | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
appeal the decision. ?3.2 million is to be pumped into | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
medical research at the University of Leeds. The government money will | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
pay for 50 PhD students to work on new space age treatments including | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
growing human tissue like bone and cartilage. Cathy Killick reports. | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
It is called a vascular bioreactor. Don't let that put you off, this | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
device can grow living blood vessels. It was invented in the | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
engineering Department of Leeds University but it is the biology | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
department using it. It is a perfect example of white Leeds has been | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
chosen to lead the research of this this `` this new area of medicine. | :14:46. | :14:53. | |

This is a meniscus, developed in the lab that can be implanted in your | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
need to save the John `` joint. Researchers have already managed to | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
make heart valves that grow in the body so is the next step in tyre | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
audience? Perhaps not audience. | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
`` is the next step in tyre organs? Perhaps not organs. We are looking | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
at specific issues like cartilage, bone, ligaments and tendons and | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
portions of the heart, like the valves and things like that. | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
Over ?50 million of investment in the region in the last four years | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
has been derived from our research, investment in the private sector | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
creating new jobs. The new funding will help pay for | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
young biologists to study engineering and for engineers to | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
learn biology, hopefully making Leeds a centre for medical | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
innovation that will prove invaluable to patients and the | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
emerging scientific economy in Yorkshire. | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
Amazing what they can do now, isn't it? | :15:58. | :15:58. | |
Before 7pm... Moxon's musings ` Yorkshire calls on | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
England to back Jonny Bairstow and let him play more cricket. | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
And fortune smiles on Cookie the hotel kitten after an epic 300 mile | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
journey. We will have that story and a couple | :16:09. | :16:25. | |
of whiskers. One of Yorkshire's museums as a new name for the New | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
Year. Sheffield's Fire and Police Museum has become the National | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
Emergency Services Museum by broadening its collection to include | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
the history of the UK's Ambulance Service and other rescue | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
organisations. Visitor numbers are on the increase, | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
but money and space for the growing collection is tight. Ian White has | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
been for a look around. Just a quick warning, there are some flashing | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
lights at the start of this report. When I was at school, I wanted to be | :16:46. | :17:06. | |
an ambulance driver, but there is a problem ` I don't like blood and | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
sick, so I don't think it was the right career choice. | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
Madame, how are you? She is not well! | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
These old ambulances have joined vintage fire engines and police cars | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
as Sheffield's fire and police Museum becomes the first in the UK | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
dedicated to all of the emergency services. | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
It started in 1983 as the South Yorkshire Fire Museum. Ten years | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
later the police side (30 years on the ambulance side, the mountain | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
rescue side, all the other emergency services opened. | :17:42. | :17:57. | |
My favourite would be the American fire engine, amazing to think that | :17:58. | :18:12. | |
was on the streets in the 50s. We have quite a few things from | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
South Yorkshire, as well and all over the world. We have Sheffield's | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
first ever fire engine. This is a new experience, hopefully the only | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
time I end up in the back of a police van. | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
That is it, lock him up! Take him away as far as you possibly can. | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
Some sport now, and some breaking news about the Tour de France and | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
its possible legacy. We have not even had the race but | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
they are already talking about bringing another top level race to | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
Yorkshire. The Tour de France organisers have been blown away by | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
Yorkshire and the organisation and are talking about bringing a | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
three`day race to the county. The places that will benefit are those | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
that have missed out on the Tour de France, because they were | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
particularly taken with the East course but it did not fit in with | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
this year's tour. They are talking about a three`day race coming to | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
Yorkshire but if it is backed, the organisers organise a lot of the | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
top`level races and you will be talking about the top`level teams. | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
You will not get Chris Froome or Bradley Wiggins but top`level riders | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
and the top teams. Fingers crossed, we already have a cycling legacy | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
from a race that has not even happen. | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
Watch this space. In football, never mind the | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
speculation ` at last we have some definite transfer news to report. It | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
appears that Leeds United are already beginning to benefit from | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
fresh investment. Today they have confirmed the signing of winger | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
Cameron Stewart from Premier League Hull City. He trained with his new | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
team`mates this morning. Manager Brian McDermott has also said today | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
that he is close to signing Crystal Palace winger Jimmy Kebby. | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
Delighted to get it done and start a new chapter in my career, I am | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
delighted it is done and it has probably been with me for awhile, I | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
am glad it is finally signed and done and I can get out there and my | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
football again. Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday's caretaker manager, | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
Stuart Gray, says a decision on his future is now set to be made after | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
Saturday's game against Leeds. And we will be looking ahead to that | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
match on tomorrow's programme. Yorkshire's director of cricket, | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
Martyn Moxon, says England haven't allowed Jonny Bairstow to play | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
enough over the last 12 months. He has also called on the national side | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
to decide where they want Joe Root to bat and let him get on with it. | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
He has backed both players to come back from their Ashes | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
disappointment, and for Bairstow in particular to prove a few people | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
wrong. I don't get it. I don't get all of | :20:32. | :20:41. | |
the criticism he is copying at the moment. People need to look at the | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
circumstances behind him not performing as well as we know he | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
can. He needs to play regular cricket. Jonny Bairstow has spent a | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
lot of time with England in the past year or two but not nearly enough | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
playing. Like many, he came in for criticism | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
during the Ashes, but Martyn Moxon feels the solution is simple. They | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
need to sit down and say, we want you to work on your keeping. | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
This is why you are going to Sri Lanka on the Lions tour as keeper | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
batsmen. You are going to play for Yorkshire come if you are not going | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
to play in the one`day international team you can play for Yorkshire and | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
play some cricket. That is what he needs to stay in form and regain his | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
form, you have to be playing. You cannot be sat watching. As for Joe | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
Root, who signed himself dropped for the final test down under, again | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
decisions need to be made. Find the right place for him to | :21:34. | :21:35. | |
bat. For me hopefully that would be | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
opening, because that is what he does, but he needs to be given time | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
to be adapted to that position, not being shifted up and down the | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
order. The comments, as the Yorkshire boys are back in training. | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
Putting them through their coaches as they are caught, former | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
Australian international Jason Gillespie. | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
He came back in this morning beaming all over his face. | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
We will just have to keep knocking him down and ignoring them, that is | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
the best way to deal with it. Is it fair to say he is gloating a little | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
bit? Yes. Apparently he came in chanting | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
a five ` zero, 5`0. Jonny Bairstow deserves a run, Joe | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
Root should be up in the leanings, those are my feelings. | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
To criticise Jonny Bairstow about his wicketkeeping, he has been | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
running around carrying drink bottles for 12 months. | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
He is also a very good fielder, he should be in the one`day side. | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
They have sent him off to Sri Lanka, as Martyn Moxon alluded to. | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
Hopefully he can show them what he can do because he is in and out and | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
Yorkshire do not need a player they have to pick up and rebuild, which | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
they have had to do in the past. We hope they get a run, but we are a | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
bit biased. When Cookie the kitten went missing | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
from home, her owners tried all the usual things to find her ` they | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
searched the local area and put up leaflets nearby. | :23:01. | :23:02. | |
Little did they know they were looking in completely the wrong | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
place. Cookie went missing from her home in Swansea in South Wales, but | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
finally turned up ten days later ` 300 miles away, here in Yorkshire. | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
Olivia Richwald has the story. Meet Cookie, eight month, | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
affectionate, a seasoned traveller and Hotel freeloader. She arrived at | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
this hotel on Tuesday. Staff took to the vet who scanned a microchip | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
under her skin. It revealed she belonged a family from Swansea. She | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
disappeared under similar 29th. Nine days later she turned up almost 300 | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
miles away. I could not believe it and it is the perfect example to get | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
your pet chipped. I would hate to think that my animal | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
would get this kind of distance away. She has had two nights free in | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
one of the best hotels in Yorkshire and not many people can say that! | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
As well as free board and lodgings, Cookie has enjoyed the finest food | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
and plenty of attention, but her choice of transport remains a | :24:04. | :24:04. | |
mystery. One theory is she travelled up to | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
the Hotel from a linen supplier in Cardiff. Today, her owners took a | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
ten hour, 600 mile round trip to pick her up. Hello! She has been our | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
top guest in the Hotel, 5`star VIP treatment. | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
Every day since the 29th of December we have not stopped looking for | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
her. We have walked the streets day after day until we could see every | :24:31. | :24:32. | |
good find her. Christmas has not been the same. It | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
hasn't, and our efforts were read `` futile, really, because she was in | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
Leeds and I was in the back lane of the house! | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
Cookie's exploits were not a catastrophe this time but her owners | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
say her travels have to stop now. Next time the ending may not be | :24:51. | :24:52. | |
quite this purr`fect. A good story, that. Would Jess ever | :24:53. | :25:03. | |
do a runner like that away from the Hudsons, Paul? | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
With any luck. She keeps me awake all night long. | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
It is definitely postman Pat's cat, we wanted to call her something | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
different but she definitely is. I am bet you're glad of that | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
information! Can you get on with the weather? | :25:22. | :25:23. | |
A few pictures first and we weather? | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
A few pictures first and will talk about the potential cold that may or | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
may not come next week. The second picture that came in, | :25:29. | :25:39. | |
that is a long shot from Wharfedale. That is a sunrise in Scarborough | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
from Freddie Drabble. Keep them coming in. The headline | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
for tomorrow, sunny spells at first, it will cloud over with patchy rain | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
later in the day courtesy of this weather front. | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
Once that is out of the way it is a fine weekend with clear periods and | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
frost. Showers have run through search `` South Yorkshire this | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
afternoon and have been coming into the North, some sharp ones towards | :26:08. | :26:15. | |
Skip on. They will continue, eventually it becomes dry with clear | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
periods. There is a chance of seeing the northern lights tonight between | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
9pm and 1am. The best clear gaps will be further east with a | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
widespread ground frost. Some icy patches especially over high levels, | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
temperatures between one and three Celsius. The sun will rise in the | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
morning at 8:27am. The high water times... | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
Make the most of the nice morning, isolated showers over the Pennines | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
otherwise fine with good spells of sunshine. Through the afternoon the | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
cloud will thicken with patchy rain coming to western areas, eastern | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
areas staying dry until tomorrow evening. Top temperatures close to | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
normal for the middle of January, seven Celsius, 45 Fahrenheit. The | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
wind picks up later so it will feel chilly. The further outlook is | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
interesting, Friday night looks wet, the weekend looks very pleasant | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
indeed, mainly sunny on Saturday, frosty Saturday night, fine Sunday, | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
Monday looks dry with sunshine and we have a 50`50 chance of cold | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
whether developing. 50`50 chance, second have of next | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
week. In other words, he has not got a clue. | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
That is about as far as we go, I will be back with the late news and | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
Paul will be with us tomorrow. I will be back next week, good | :27:43. | :27:43. | |
night. TOM: # And if there's | :27:44. | :27:54. | |
anybody left in here # That doesn't want | :27:55. | :28:15. | |
to be out there... # | :28:16. | :28:18. |
