That's all from us. It's goodbye from me. And on BBC

:00:00.:00:00.

Hello and welcome to Wednesday's Look North. Tonight: The nursery

:00:00.:00:00.

worker on trial for the manslaughter by negligence of a York toddler. The

:00:00.:00:14.

court heard it was 20 minutes before three`year`old Lydia Bishop was

:00:15.:00:17.

found hanged on a slide. The nursery worker denies the charges.

:00:18.:00:21.

Also tonight: Two bodies are found in a boat in Whitby. We'll be live

:00:22.:00:31.

with the latest. Him in goal for why they have an

:00:32.:00:38.

ongoing issue with fly tipping. They are demanding urgent action to clear

:00:39.:00:44.

the mess up. Despite the clouds it looks beautiful here. I will have a

:00:45.:00:46.

detailed forecast. A three`year`old girl who died on

:00:47.:01:04.

her first day at nursery had been left alone for 20 minutes, a court

:01:05.:01:11.

heard today. Three`year`old Lydia Bishop got her neck caught. Sophee

:01:12.:01:27.

Redhead denies the charges. Our Crime Correspondent John Cundy is

:01:28.:01:31.

outside Leeds Crown Court. The prosecution described this as

:01:32.:01:37.

the completely avoidable death of a young child if only the right safety

:01:38.:01:50.

had been put in place. Lydia Bishop, the child who died so

:01:51.:01:58.

tragically on the 17th of September 2012. Arriving at Leeds Crown Court

:01:59.:02:04.

today whether Sam `` was Sophee Redhead, charged with gross

:02:05.:02:09.

negligence and manslaughter. Sophee Redhead was said to have done

:02:10.:02:25.

nothing to stop or supervise Lydia and she had been left entirely on

:02:26.:02:29.

her own. 20 minutes had gone by and only when a member of staff...

:02:30.:02:45.

She wasn't breathing. All attempts to resuscitate her field. They were

:02:46.:02:57.

told there was a dangerous lack of supervision in the weeks before the

:02:58.:03:03.

death. Ropes and coils on the slide were loose. They should have been

:03:04.:03:08.

removed. A child could become entangled in them with fatal

:03:09.:03:15.

consequences. That is what happens to Lydia Bishop. 17 children and

:03:16.:03:19.

three staff had been at the nursery that day. CCTV shown to the court

:03:20.:03:27.

revealed that three and `` she and other children had been playing

:03:28.:03:31.

unsupervised on the slide earlier before the tragedy.

:03:32.:03:40.

All charges have been denied including an alternative to gross

:03:41.:03:44.

negligence against Sophee Redhead, one of the allure to take reasonable

:03:45.:03:48.

care of a child. Tomorrow, the jury will be taken to the site where this

:03:49.:03:57.

tragedy happened. A dying man has admitted killing his

:03:58.:04:01.

wife and daughter at the family home in Wath`upon`Dearne. Seventy year

:04:02.:04:05.

old Peter Redfern strangled and suffocated his wife in the couple's

:04:06.:04:08.

bedroom then waited for his daughter to come home from work before

:04:09.:04:14.

murdering her with a hammer. A court in Sheffield heard today that

:04:15.:04:16.

Redfern couldn't explain his actions, but said he'd acted with

:04:17.:04:19.

diminished responsibility because of medication he was taking to fight

:04:20.:04:25.

his cancer. Olivia Richwald's been following the case.

:04:26.:04:34.

Jean and Sarah read Ferran were not only mother and daughter, they were

:04:35.:04:38.

best friends. But they were killed by the third member of their family.

:04:39.:04:48.

They were private but well liked. Peter Redfern strangled gene in the

:04:49.:04:56.

bedroom and then waited for 33`year`old Sarah to get home from

:04:57.:05:02.

work before killing her with a hammer in the kitchen. Today he

:05:03.:05:07.

pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of his wife on the grounds of

:05:08.:05:11.

diminished responsibility and guilty of his daughter's murder. The court

:05:12.:05:17.

heard he had in durable bone cancer and was on it trucks trial. One drug

:05:18.:05:25.

can cause adverse psychotic effects in extreme cases.

:05:26.:05:32.

The medication he had been taken with appear to have had an effect on

:05:33.:05:38.

his character. He is a man of previously good character and there

:05:39.:05:41.

is no history of violence. He sobbed in the court throughout.

:05:42.:05:50.

After his cancer diagnosis, he had been worried by his wife and

:05:51.:05:55.

daughter would cope without him. The defence barrister said that read

:05:56.:06:00.

Ferran had never been able to explain why he had killed his wife

:06:01.:06:03.

but when he realised that his daughter would soon be home from

:06:04.:06:09.

work he couldn't allow her to see what he had done and he decided to

:06:10.:06:18.

kill her. The court heard that he accepted he would die in jail.

:06:19.:06:22.

Later on Look North. Brain`damaged after an assault ` the South

:06:23.:06:25.

Yorkshireman suing police for failing to get him medical

:06:26.:06:34.

treatment. Now, some of you might remember our

:06:35.:06:38.

next story. The flytippers blighting an area of Goldthorpe in South

:06:39.:06:42.

Yorkshire. Rotting food, household waste and even a settee was dumped.

:06:43.:06:45.

Barnsley Council estimated it would cost them around ?90,000 to clear

:06:46.:06:49.

up. Well, three months on the clear up is yet to begin and nearby

:06:50.:06:52.

residents are thoroughly fed up. They say it's an eyesore as well as

:06:53.:06:56.

a health hazard. Phil Bodmer's been following the story.

:06:57.:07:04.

Getting bigger by the week. The festering pile of decaying waste. In

:07:05.:07:10.

October, we revealed how this disused railway had become an

:07:11.:07:15.

unofficial dumping site. Three months on the tip is spreading. The

:07:16.:07:23.

wet and cold months of winter have actually used the situation. Because

:07:24.:07:28.

the pungent odour that was emanating from this ever`increasing pile of

:07:29.:07:32.

waste is less prevalent than it was. However, people living close by Sea

:07:33.:07:41.

continues to blight their lives. It is definitely a mess. Whether it

:07:42.:07:45.

is any worse than last time we visited is unknown but it needs

:07:46.:07:50.

sorted sooner rather than later. Today a waste management expert told

:07:51.:07:57.

us it could be done to changes in household waste collections.

:07:58.:08:01.

It is a combination of household waste and large items of furniture

:08:02.:08:07.

which have probably come from people not recycling properly at home or

:08:08.:08:11.

not wanting to pay companies to get rid of large items of furniture. Or

:08:12.:08:17.

the companies that are taking it are taking it too cheap and dumping it

:08:18.:08:24.

here. The land belongs to network rail

:08:25.:08:28.

that we have seen a letter saying that prosecutions are needed rather

:08:29.:08:32.

than another clean`up. It is getting worse and worse. Bends

:08:33.:08:38.

are thrown over, nappies. I feel terrible to feel that people

:08:39.:08:46.

are using this to get rid of their rubbish. We do not know if it is

:08:47.:08:54.

local people or people from further afield.

:08:55.:08:59.

Network Rail says it has spent money clearing the rubbish and another

:09:00.:09:07.

?8,000 putting up a fence. It will continue to work with the council to

:09:08.:09:11.

find and prosecute those responsible. A spokesman told us a

:09:12.:09:17.

number of people were facing prosecution.

:09:18.:09:21.

Next tonight, what caused the deaths of two people whose bodies were

:09:22.:09:24.

found on board a boat in Whitby Harbour? Police were called to the

:09:25.:09:27.

vessel, moored off Pier Road, at around ten o'clock this morning.

:09:28.:09:30.

The deaths are being described as unexplained but not suspicious.

:09:31.:09:34.

Let's cross live to Phil Connell who's on the East Coast for us.

:09:35.:09:42.

Phil, what's the latest? The alarm was raised this morning by

:09:43.:09:46.

fishermen on board a neighbouring boat and since then Whitby Harbour

:09:47.:09:51.

has been the scene of people least investigation. The two men had their

:09:52.:10:02.

vessel registered in Milford Haven. `` people lease investigation.

:10:03.:10:12.

The two fishermen were brought to the station but attempts to revive

:10:13.:10:31.

them were sadly unsuccessful. We are shocked. Fishing is a

:10:32.:10:36.

dangerous job. We are praying for the families.

:10:37.:10:41.

Do we have any idea what caused these deaths.

:10:42.:10:56.

Paul is `` police are saying there are no suspicious circumstances.

:10:57.:10:59.

There is a theory that the men may have been overcome by carbon

:11:00.:11:07.

monoxide. Traders were telling me there had been a very strong smell

:11:08.:11:13.

of gas. There were lots of other agencies

:11:14.:11:22.

involved. We simply just had to look at our past in it and the safety

:11:23.:11:30.

elements for our crew and ourselves. As you would expect, a sombre mood

:11:31.:11:39.

here tonight. These fishermen risk their lives day in and day out and

:11:40.:11:42.

for this to happen in the relative safety of the harbour has come as a

:11:43.:11:52.

real shock. In the rest of the day's news around

:11:53.:11:56.

Yorkshire: A man found with serious head injuries in Leeds this morning

:11:57.:12:00.

has died in hospital. Police were called to Whitelock Street near to

:12:01.:12:03.

the Sheepscar junction at 7:30am. It's not yet known what caused the

:12:04.:12:06.

man's injuries. A postmortem will take place to establish the cause of

:12:07.:12:08.

death. A car which was being followed by

:12:09.:12:12.

police in Leeds has ploughed into a house. It happened around 2am at a

:12:13.:12:15.

semidetached house in Stainbeck Road. A woman was unharmed when the

:12:16.:12:19.

BMW crashed into her front room below where she was sleeping. Police

:12:20.:12:23.

say the vehicle failed to stop for officers and drove off down Carr

:12:24.:12:26.

Manor Road before crossing a grass verge and driving into the house.

:12:27.:12:29.

The driver was arrested at the scene.

:12:30.:12:31.

Union members who care for adults with learning disabilities in

:12:32.:12:34.

Doncaster have been meeting today to agree a vote on whether to strike

:12:35.:12:38.

over proposed changes to their pay and conditions. Since September last

:12:39.:12:41.

year the private company Care UK has run the service on behalf of

:12:42.:12:44.

Doncaster Council but staff now face losing extra pay for working

:12:45.:12:48.

evenings and weekends. Unison says staff could lose up to ?10,000 a

:12:49.:12:54.

year. Care UK maintain it has protecting salaries and pensions but

:12:55.:12:57.

some benefits must change in order to save money.

:12:58.:13:08.

Morale is at rock bottom. We pull our rapidly losing interest. They

:13:09.:13:12.

are actively looking for other jobs which will leave the people we look

:13:13.:13:17.

after very vulnerable. Campaigners calling for the Don

:13:18.:13:20.

Valley rail line between Sheffield and Stocksbridge to be reopened have

:13:21.:13:23.

handed in a petition in to the council today. The line is only used

:13:24.:13:27.

for freight trains running to the TATA steel factory but 2500 people

:13:28.:13:30.

have signed in support of getting passenger trains running on it

:13:31.:13:37.

again. An assault victim who suffered

:13:38.:13:40.

serious brain damage after he was arrested and left in a cell for ten

:13:41.:13:44.

hours is suing the police. Dean Hutton, from South Yorkshire, was

:13:45.:13:46.

left without medical treatment despite officers knowing about his

:13:47.:13:49.

injury. South Yorkshire Police said it accepted liability. Kate

:13:50.:13:55.

Bradbrook has been to meet him. Dean Hutton from Wath`upon`Dearne

:13:56.:13:58.

was a healthy 22`year`old until he was hit with a metal pole in 2009.

:13:59.:14:03.

Afterwards he was arrested and left in a police cell for more than ten

:14:04.:14:07.

hours. During that time he suffered permanent brain damage.

:14:08.:14:14.

I was in a coma for three weeks. I did pass a way to times. I ended up

:14:15.:14:20.

with pneumonia. But I've come through it.

:14:21.:14:27.

Dean was arrested because he had an outstanding driving offence but

:14:28.:14:30.

while in custody procedures weren't properly followed.

:14:31.:14:35.

The paramedics had written an advice note that should he deteriorate he

:14:36.:14:40.

should be taken to hospital. The sergeants didn't take this into

:14:41.:14:43.

account when he booked him into the cells. Then the dean vomited and our

:14:44.:14:50.

cases that at that point medical attention should have been sought

:14:51.:14:53.

and if it had been a full recovery would have been made.

:14:54.:15:04.

Dean was brought here. The police have accepted responsibility and

:15:05.:15:12.

offer apologies to the family. The standards have been improved and

:15:13.:15:17.

implemented so maybe it won't happen again.

:15:18.:15:22.

I used to be very active. I played with all and had lots of friends.

:15:23.:15:27.

Now I just stay in the house and go to the gym. I don't have lots of

:15:28.:15:34.

friends. I've got lots of disability is no but I could have made a 100%

:15:35.:15:38.

recovery. The family now plan to seek

:15:39.:15:51.

compensation. Before 7pm: Who says Yorkshire folk

:15:52.:16:02.

are stingy? The wealthy pensioners donating their winter fuel allowance

:16:03.:16:06.

to help others. It is often been said I am a wind`up

:16:07.:16:12.

merchant but today I am. The. The of the clock coming up.

:16:13.:16:27.

The Conservative MP Anne McIntosh is appealing to her own members to be

:16:28.:16:32.

allowed to stand again as a candidate in her safe North

:16:33.:16:35.

Yorkshire seat at the next general election. The chairman and executive

:16:36.:16:38.

of her party have taken the virtually unknown action of refusing

:16:39.:16:41.

to endorse her reselection. As our political editor Len Tingle now

:16:42.:16:45.

reports, it is now down to a last`ditch postal ballot.

:16:46.:16:47.

It is hard to believe that in the rural quiet of this village is

:16:48.:16:55.

ferocious battle for political survival is going on. And Macintosh

:16:56.:17:04.

`` Anne McIntosh has one of the safest seats in the country but her

:17:05.:17:12.

personal future is far from safe. Her local chairman and executive

:17:13.:17:16.

refusing to endorse as a candidate in next year's collection.

:17:17.:17:24.

She seems to be unable to work with the constituency party officers in

:17:25.:17:28.

the smooth running of the association.

:17:29.:17:35.

A personality rather than a policy clash could be what sees her step

:17:36.:17:44.

aside. She seems to confirm this in a letter sent this week.

:17:45.:17:55.

Whether it is something to do with the fact that she is obviously a

:17:56.:18:03.

woman or is it because she has got her 11,000 majority and can put

:18:04.:18:11.

anybody in place, I'm not sure. There is one month to return the

:18:12.:18:17.

ballot papers for a vote that will decide the future of one of the

:18:18.:18:20.

safest Conservative seats in the country.

:18:21.:18:27.

Wealthier pensioners in Yorkshire have donated thousands of pounds of

:18:28.:18:30.

their Winter Fuel Payments to help those who are struggling to keep

:18:31.:18:34.

their homes heated. The payment is a universal benefit of up to ?300. But

:18:35.:18:38.

those who don't need it have been giving it to a charity campaign set

:18:39.:18:41.

up to redistribute the cash to those who do. Each year, around 20,000

:18:42.:18:45.

more pensioners will die in winter months than at other times. It's

:18:46.:18:47.

thought 2.3 million households cannot afford to heat the living

:18:48.:18:52.

areas of their homes. And its problems like those the Surviving

:18:53.:18:55.

Winter appeal has been trying to tackle. So far they've raised

:18:56.:19:01.

?100,000 in our region. Joe Inwood went to see how that money is being

:19:02.:19:13.

used. Wednesday is exercise daily, the

:19:14.:19:17.

chance to get out the house, say friends and keep fit. And feel

:19:18.:19:25.

you've heard a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

:19:26.:19:34.

What can be more important? This is a lifeline. This gets me out and

:19:35.:19:41.

makes me want to go and have my hair done and put my make up done. It is

:19:42.:19:50.

my life. But it is only possible because of

:19:51.:19:53.

people like Wendy. She gets a winter fuel payment but decided her as

:19:54.:20:00.

could be put to better use. Because there are so many people out

:20:01.:20:04.

there who are isolated and on their own, I think it is important that we

:20:05.:20:08.

get this money back into the community where it can be used to

:20:09.:20:18.

relieve some of that isolation. The campaign has raised ?100,000 for

:20:19.:20:24.

groups like this in Yorkshire. 60% has come from individuals. They know

:20:25.:20:30.

there is always more to be done. Sadly there just isn't enough money

:20:31.:20:35.

to fund all the needs that can be found and we do have to rely on the

:20:36.:20:41.

generosity of people who can afford to give money to projects like

:20:42.:20:44.

this. Back at caring together, there is a

:20:45.:20:49.

history lesson looking at artefacts from the First World War. These

:20:50.:20:56.

pensioners, as they look into the past, now that's the group can

:20:57.:21:07.

continue to have a future. The majority owners of Leeds United,

:21:08.:21:10.

GFH Capital, have today agreed a partial sale of its stake in the

:21:11.:21:16.

club. GFK is an investment company based in Bahrain but say the sale of

:21:17.:21:20.

the shares is to British investors, believed to include United's

:21:21.:21:22.

Managing Director David Haigh. Today's development is a further

:21:23.:21:26.

step towards the long term plan for Leeds United to be taken over by a

:21:27.:21:29.

British consortium, led by Haigh. No stopping Sheffield Wednesday at

:21:30.:21:33.

the moment. They are through to the fourth round of the FA Cup. They won

:21:34.:21:37.

their third round replay at home to Macclesfield last night in emphatic

:21:38.:21:40.

style, by four goals to one. Wednesday didn't have it all their

:21:41.:21:43.

own way, despite Chris Maguire giving them the lead. Macclesfield

:21:44.:21:46.

fought back to equalize with a second`half penalty. And Wednesday

:21:47.:21:49.

needed a late flourish of three goals in the final 12 minutes to

:21:50.:21:53.

finish them off. Wednesday will travel to face another League Two

:21:54.:21:58.

side, Rochdale, in round four. And FIFA has confirmed Howard Webb

:21:59.:22:02.

will be the English referee at this year's World Cup finals in Brazil.

:22:03.:22:08.

It's the second time the 42`year`old from Rotherham, seen here in

:22:09.:22:11.

training, has been chosen for the event. He officiated in South Africa

:22:12.:22:17.

in 2010 when he became the first Englishman to take charge of a World

:22:18.:22:26.

Cup final since Jack Taylor in 1974. Good luck to him. Time has been

:22:27.:22:34.

standing still sends a health and say the ban on a winding clock. It

:22:35.:22:40.

was said it was too dangerous for volunteers to clam up. The clock was

:22:41.:22:46.

stopped for the first time an hundred and 40 years. But it has

:22:47.:22:57.

been restarted. A village where it feels time stands still. But time

:22:58.:23:04.

here is very important. Do you have the time? I do. It is to 15 PM.

:23:05.:23:15.

Thank you. It is time 40. It is time for your wok.

:23:16.:23:37.

The banister was physically broken. If you lend against it you would

:23:38.:23:45.

plunge to the ground. Secondly, there was nothing to stop the

:23:46.:23:49.

sliding underneath the banister so you could fall through and hit the

:23:50.:23:53.

ground. The ladder wasn't safe and could slip when you were claiming.

:23:54.:24:00.

When the local Freemasons noticed the clock hadn't moved, they donated

:24:01.:24:09.

money to make the clock safe. We try and wind it twice a week.

:24:10.:24:23.

I live nearby and you get used to it being in the background.

:24:24.:24:30.

It is very positive to have the clock running. We are very pleased

:24:31.:24:35.

about it and the response has been excellent.

:24:36.:24:36.

Next time you glance up at the clock, take a few moments to think

:24:37.:24:43.

of the volunteers who kept it going all these years.

:24:44.:24:51.

Let me show you a couple of pictures that came in. This is my favourite

:24:52.:25:18.

of the week. Tomorrow is a day of sunny intervals

:25:19.:25:35.

and scattered showers. It won't be too bad and eastern areas and

:25:36.:25:44.

showers may become more frequent. That's unlikely we will see any

:25:45.:25:51.

properly winter weather in the rest of January so we are now looking to

:25:52.:25:57.

February four winter is staff. This is a cold front that will move the

:25:58.:26:06.

mild weather out of the way. Temperatures will be close to

:26:07.:26:14.

average. It will spread eastwards overnight with some mist and fog

:26:15.:26:21.

over the hills. Temperatures will come in at four or five Celsius. A
