rise. That | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Welcome to Look North. It tonight: Hate crime rises by more than a | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
quarter in South Yorkshire. We speak to an expert on how to tackle this | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
type of crime The premature baby weighing less than two pounds ` his | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
grateful parents are now fundraising for the hospital who saved him. | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
High hopes for a young woman from Sheffield who's one of the best | :00:26. | :00:35. | |
freestyle skiers in the world. We have some blossoms showing up in | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
some of the trees. Join me for the forecast. | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
Today, lawyers representing senior police officers in charge at the | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Hillsborough Disaster in 1989 say they will suggest that drinking | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
among fans did play a part in what happened. Families of the victims | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
have reacted angrily to the claim calling it a disgrace. The details | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
emerged during a pre`inquest hearing in London. 96 Liverpool fans died in | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
the crush at the Sheffield Wednesday football ground. Spencer Stokes is | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
there with the story. This new claim that drink played a part will cause | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
uproar because previous official reports have discounted such claims, | :01:18. | :01:28. | |
haven't they? The new inquests begin next month. A pre`inquest hearing | :01:29. | :01:40. | |
has been taking place to set out the boundaries of the inquest and decide | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
what evidence can be presented to jurors. We have heard that South | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Yorkshire Police's lawyers wants to raise the suggestion that drinking | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
on the day, drinking by fans may have led to the deaths of the 96 who | :01:54. | :02:03. | |
died here at Hillsborough. There is a controversial decision because the | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
original enquiry found fans want to blame and that was reiterated 18 | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
months ago by the Hillsborough Independent Panel Report. That | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
evidence can be introduced but it will have to be in written form. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
There has been reaction from family members of the victims in London. | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
One of them shouted out the words, disgraceful. We have been hearing | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
from Charlotte Hennessy who has been giving us her reaction. It is | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
disgusting that these people are still arguing that alcohol was the | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
cause of the disaster when it has been stated several times that it | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
was not. I do welcome its because we can prove that those who died were | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
not drunk. The new inquests begin next month. Visitors `` the jurors | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
will be visiting the ground, weren't they? They will be seeing the police | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
box from where the match was commanded back in April 1989. It has | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
moved slightly and there was debate about whether it was appropriate for | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
the jurors to go to the police box. They will be allowed to go there and | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
they will be coming out here to the memorial. They will be able to | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
observe the memorial but won't be able to look at the moving tributes | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
that have been left down here because objectivity wants to be | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
maintained. If some of the jurors read some of the moving tributes, | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
they may not be able to retain their objectivity. They will see a 3`D | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
model of the grand as it was back in April 1989. The full inquest is | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
getting underway on March 31. Next tonight, police in South Yorkshire | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
are calling for the growing number of victims of hate crime to speak | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
out about their experiences. The latest figures show its on the | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
increase there and has risen by more than a quarter in the last two years | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
alone. So what is hate crime? Well it | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
happens when someone is targeted because of hostility or prejudice | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
towards their disability, race, religion or sexual orientation. In | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
West Yorkshire the figures are down but there were still 1,995 hate | :04:17. | :04:24. | |
crimes reported last year. In North Yorkshire the figure's much lower. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
Just 173 in 2012. But in South Yorkshire the number of reports has | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
gone from 524 incidents in 2011 to 660 last year. | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
The police there have seen a particular spike in hate crime | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
towards the gay, bisexual and transgender community. It's putting | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
the rise down to more victims feeling able to speak out. But, it | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
says many more still need to come forward. Kate Bradbrook reports. | :04:50. | :05:02. | |
Nels Stockton was born male but has been living as a female while | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
undergoing transition. She has suffered abuse because of it. These | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
young men started to yelling abuse. Some of them were sexually explicit. | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
He was referring to me as a man. The intention was to frighten you. On | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
occasion, that harassment has turned physical. While we were filming, I | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
witnessed her being shouted at by two men in a van. That is a typical | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
example of the harassment that happens. The police say the number | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
of incidents like this reported to them is up 35% since 2011. That is | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
81 crimes recorded last year alone in South Yorkshire. They say more | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
people are coming forward but not all. We are confident that our | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
people that don't come to report these incidents to us. They will be | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
considered lower`level incidents. We have to put things in place to | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
intervene early before things escalate. It is only by people | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
having the confidence to report these hate crimes that those that | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
perpetrate it will think twice before doing it again and making | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
someone else a victim. For now, she is learning to live with the abuse | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
she suffers but hopes more like I will find the courage to speak out. | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
With me now is Doctor Marian Duggan who's a senior lecturer in | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
criminology with Sheffield Hallam University and who's writing a book | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
on hate crime. The increase in numbers, is that down to more cases | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
or is it just more people reporting this hate crime? It is difficult to | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
say. There has been a concerted effort to make people more aware of | :07:01. | :07:14. | |
hate crime. It is classed as a lower`level incidents but if you are | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
the victim, it can have a major impact. Hate crimes are often | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
demarcated as having an additional psychological element. They can be | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
targeted repeatedly and the fact that they are being targeted on the | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
basis of an identity factor can have a big impact on the self`esteem, | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
well`being and feeling they are part of society. Is a `` is there a | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
problem that they might not be taken seriously if they report it? They | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
can be. If you are experiencing this victimisation repeatedly, you don't | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
necessarily want to go to the police to bother them all the time. You | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
might not think it is as serious as physical violence or criminal | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
damage. There can be lots of reasons why people don't want to come | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
forward. Is enough being done to tackle this problem? The police are | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
making a concerted effort and people can go to local organisations such | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
as GP surgeries, mosques, libraries and let people know what is going | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
on. Later on Look North. | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
All the sport including a nervous night for Sheffield United. The last | :08:32. | :08:40. | |
minute goal that saw them through to the FA Cup. | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
A Doncaster campaigner has been jailed for six months for defacing a | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
portrait of the Queen with paint. Tim Haries, seen here in the leather | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
jacket, caused ?7,000 worth of damage when he sprayed the word help | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
onto the artwork last June. The 42`year`old previously told the | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
court he had nothing against the Queen but wanted to raise awareness | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
of the Fathers For Justice campaign. Stall holders on Wakefield's indoor | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
market have reacted angrily to plans to close the hall. It only opened | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
five years ago. But Wakefield Council says the number of people | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
visiting the market is declining year on year compared to other local | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
markets in nearby Castleford and Pontefract. The council says plans | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
to build a multi screen cinema complex on the site will improve the | :09:22. | :09:31. | |
city's attractions in the evening. There is a lot of stallholders in | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
here. Where will we go? Some of us can't afford shops. Some don't want | :09:36. | :09:44. | |
to stand outside because of illness. After 11 o'clock, there is | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
very little to attract families. We have to support the restaurants in | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
the city and we give a very different feel `` and it will give | :09:55. | :10:06. | |
very different feel to the city. Almost three`quarters of people in | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
some parts of Yorkshire are overweight or obese, Government | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
figures released today show. Doncaster is the second fattest area | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
in England, with 74.4% of people having a body mass index of 25 or | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
over. Ryedale in North Yorkshire is not far behind ` 73.7% of people | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
there are said to be overweight or obese. Meanwhile North Yorkshire is | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
the second fattest county in England with 67.9% of residents having a | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
weight problem. Local councils and the government have been urged to do | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
more to tackle the problem. Now to a remarkable story of | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
survival. Rhys Gardener was born 14 weeks prematurely, weighing just one | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
pound ten oz. He needed 20 blood transfusions and three major | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
operations including one when his lung collapsed. | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
He was given just a 20% chance of survival, but he's defied the odds | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
to celebrate his second birthday. Now his parents are embarking on a | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
fundraising campaign for the hospital that helped to save his | :10:55. | :11:04. | |
life. Tom Ingall reports. There is nothing unusual about a birthday | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
trip to a farm in Sheffield. What is extraordinary is being able to | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
celebrate the birthday at all. Rhys Gardener was born after 26 weeks, | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
the very edge of life. I started getting backache and we went into | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
hospital. I remember saying that it was too soon. They kept trying to | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
slow things down which I presumed to mean they will put it off for a | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
couple of months. He was coming and that was it. He was transferred to | :11:36. | :11:43. | |
the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield. It is where he spent the | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
next three months of his life. At one stage come his chances of | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
survival were given at 20%. We have watched programmes before where the | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
mother gives birth and they hand the baby to the father and there is | :12:01. | :12:08. | |
tears. I kept telling her that it wasn't her fault. They showed him to | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
us and tried to ventilate him to get him to breathe. How would you sum up | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
the experience? Pretty horrendous rarely. We have seen other families | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
as well and what other families have been through. Although it has been | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
difficult, we realise how difficult we are and he is doing really well. | :12:32. | :12:44. | |
His daddy 's going to raise money for the hospital's charity. Thank | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
you for the privilege of taking his son a day out. What a cracking | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
story. Before seven o'clock. | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
An Olympian of the future? We meet the ten`year`old fencer who won both | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
gold and bronze in last year's British Youth Championships. | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
And no leap of faith needed ` the young woman from Sheffield one of | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
the best freestyle skiers in the world and off to the Winter | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
Olympics. Let's have a look at the football | :13:12. | :13:20. | |
now and that Leeds United story still has a few twists and turns, | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
Paul. There has been a development. The | :13:23. | :13:42. | |
Italian businessman Massimo Cellino is now very much the front runner to | :13:43. | :13:57. | |
take control. Paul Flowers has pulled out. I have the official | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
statement here but he has got nothing to do with his negotiations | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
any more. He is not going down without a fight. If he wasn't in a | :14:10. | :14:22. | |
powerful position already, he is now. Would you like to talk about | :14:23. | :14:31. | |
football on the field? Good news down in Sheffield though, with | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
United through to the fifth round of the FA Cup. They beat Fulham but it | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
was touch and go. They left it to the very last minute of extra time | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
to score that winning goal. But it was worth waiting for. Now Sheffield | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
United are guaranteed a home tie in the next round against either | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
Preston or Nottingham Forest. Mind you the Blades have got a lot on | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
their plate at the moment, so there hasn't been much time for basking in | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
glory. Back home, there was a funny feeling of business as usual. You | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
would never believe the players had finished their last shift at 11 | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
o'clock last night in London. After that performance, the bus journey | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
home must have flown by. I can't remember anything. It doesn't make a | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
difference when you have one. It was a great night for everybody. I'm | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
sure the huge following we have got back in the early hours. It took two | :15:30. | :15:37. | |
hours to get the rewards. It couldn't have been better timed. | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
Sean Miller has even more reasons to smile after scoring the decisive | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
goal. Look carefully at how he celebrated. Never mind the long | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
distance away matches, it turns out he has become rather used to having | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
four hours kip maximum every night. I had a little boy a couple of weeks | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
ago and it was really good to get a goal for him. It was a great | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
feeling. It has baffled us. We are up here `` appalling in the league | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
but we can beat these clubs. Hopefully now they can gel a bit | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
more and carried this cup run into the league. The battle stays at the | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
top of their agenda and those sleepless nights are not over yet. | :16:29. | :16:36. | |
Well there's still a lot of work for Sheffield United to do to get to the | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
final but neighbours Chesterfield are just one game away from Wembley. | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
The Spireites beat Fleetwood 3`1 in the Johnstone Paints Trophy northern | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
final last night. Goals from Ian Evatt and Sam Morsy gave them a | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
first half lead and a superb volley from Jimmy Ryan made certain of the | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
win. If they maintain their advantage in the second leg, | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
Chesterfield will reach their second JPT final in three years. | :16:59. | :17:07. | |
In the last three minutes, there have been no further developments at | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
Leeds United. The Winter Olympics starts in just | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
two days time in Sochi. Yorkshire is sending ten athletes to Russia a | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
record number for a Winter Games. We'll be looking at our main medal | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
hopefuls in the next few days. Let's start with Katie Summerhayes, one of | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
the best freestyle skiers in the world. Our reporter Ian Bucknell | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
caught up with Katie and her family in Sheffield before she set off for | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
the Olympics. These are happy days in this | :17:33. | :17:52. | |
household. Katie is Yorkshire's youngest representative at the | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
Winter Olympics. The family will be in there to see her compete and even | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
if she doesn't come up with a medal, she should at least come up | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
with a pair of slippers. Every hotel I stay in, if they have slippers, I | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
take them. Behind the laughter, slope style skiing is seriously | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
risky. She performs tricks on a variety of obstacles and gets points | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
for difficulty and execution. Mum and dad have seen her compete many | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
times but it is still hard to watch. You still worry about the landing. | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
You have to get past it and hope they are safe at the end of the run. | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
As far as I can see, they are having fun. They do it of their own accord. | :18:42. | :18:54. | |
Katie started skiing at six. She soon displayed talent and courage. | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
Those qualities have now taken her to the Olympics. I have to get up | :19:00. | :19:11. | |
really early in the morning. I saw the announcement on Twitter. I was | :19:12. | :19:24. | |
sat on my own and I wanted to cry. We are very proud of her and it is a | :19:25. | :19:35. | |
remarkable journey. Amen. Dad has to put up with a lot of cheek but it | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
must be worth it now she is going to the Olympics. It is bound to be a | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
very proud day for her and the family. It is a very cool sport. | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
A story of sporting success now for a 10`year`old girl from Skipton | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
who's already a national champion. Lucy`Belle Williamson won gold and | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
bronze in last year's British Youth Championships and took home medals | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
in 24 out of 25 competitions. She's now won a place on a national | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
training programme called Tomorrow's Achievers which spots young athletes | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
with the talent to become our Olympians of the future. Her | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
achievement's made all the more impressive as she's managed to turn | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
her learning difficulty into one of her greatest weapons. | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
Lucy and her dad Ian are with us now. | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
Congratulations on getting onto this scheme. How does it feel? Is it | :20:28. | :20:36. | |
exciting? Yes. You want to go to the Olympics with fencing. Why did you | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
start fencing? I wanted to be a Viking and fencing was the closest | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
thing. That is a pretty cool reason. I believe you have been showing how | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
we hear some of your skills. Shall we take a look at how he did? OK. | :20:53. | :21:20. | |
I'll tell you what, she is pretty good. I am bad. How have you seen | :21:21. | :21:33. | |
developments in other ways? Her massive passion is fencing. The | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
thing that we have noticed in the past few weeks is her ability to | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
focus in other areas of her life. She trains up to five times a week | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
and has started swimming as well and she has her work and other aspects | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
of life to fit into wet. One of the things that really shows as Lucy is | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
motivated is the fact that she will come home from school she has 20 | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
minutes to do her homework. She will do that and then go out. She knows | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
she has two cram it all in. We were saying that there isn't enough days | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
in the week five her to do everything. How good is she? She is | :22:20. | :22:30. | |
very good. I watch a lot of young fences and she is right up there. | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
Her agility and ability to move swiftly is unprecedented for her | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
age. Last year she won medals in all but one of the under 11 | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
competitions. She was only just eligible to enter the competitions | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
this year. She is fencing above her age. What did I do wrong? You were | :22:56. | :23:10. | |
bouncing, your arm was too far out. You wasn't trying to defend | :23:11. | :23:21. | |
yourself. I was to quick for you. We think you are remarkable and we wish | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
you all the best and come and see us in the future when you have won more | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
medals. Good luck. Paul, we have got away | :23:29. | :23:36. | |
with the weather that it has been awful today. | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
Let me show you three pictures that came in overnight. We have this | :23:43. | :23:54. | |
white rose that is blooming. It shows how mild this winter has been. | :23:55. | :24:13. | |
Tomorrow, a bit of a respite. It looks brighter with some rain. We | :24:14. | :24:34. | |
look down to the Bay of Biscay and that next rain will come across as | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
tomorrow evening. It will be were first on Friday morning with some | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
strong winds at time. There is the satellite picture. There has been a | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
lot of cloud around. It is particularly wet. That rain is | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
covering Derbyshire and it will gradually move north eastwards. It | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
is a tale of showers and longer outbreaks of rain. Some of the rain | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
will be heavy at times. It is very windy with a strong to gale force | :25:08. | :25:15. | |
wind. Temperatures down to four Celsius. The sun will rise in the | :25:16. | :25:16. | |
morning. A few showers possible specially for | :25:17. | :25:28. | |
the Yorkshire Dales. They will soon move out of the way and many of us | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
are staying dry and bright. We will see some sunshine tomorrow. Cloud | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
increases and by the end of the day, that rain is showing up in | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
South Yorkshire and across the North Midlands. For the North, it will | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
stay dry. Temperatures roundabout eight Celsius tomorrow. The wind | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
eases off for a time. Looking further ahead, Friday is wet and | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
blustery. We have more rain Friday night into Saturday morning. That is | :26:03. | :26:03. | |
the forecast. I will be back with a late update at | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
10:25pm. Goodbye. NICK CLEGG: Are you in, | :26:10. | :26:39. | |
or are you out? That's the real question at stake at | :26:40. | :26:41. | |
the European elections on May 2 nd. even though that would wreck | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
the recovery and destroy jobs. The Conservatives are now | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
openly flirting with exit, and the Labour Party, well, they | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
just don't have the courage | :27:00. | :27:02. |
