:00:00. > :00:08.A reminder of our main story. Thousands of protest to remain in
:00:09. > :00:12.Good evening and welcome to Friday's Look North. On the programme
:00:13. > :00:16.tonight. The man who stabbed this Yorkshire shopkeeper to death before
:00:17. > :00:33.going on the rampage with a machete is jailed for life. He came out with
:00:34. > :00:37.blood on its hands and arms, holding a machete, some members of the
:00:38. > :00:40.public must of been terrified He'll have to serve a minimum of 27 years
:00:41. > :00:43.in jail. . Also tonight, making millions from
:00:44. > :00:46.people driving in bus lanes, but are our councils taking things too
:00:47. > :00:53.literally when it comes to dishing out fines? But you back into it. I
:00:54. > :00:57.am doing. The Winter Olympics has really caught the imagination of
:00:58. > :01:05.these youngsters. They are learning curling and they are going to teach
:01:06. > :01:15.me. A mixture of sunshine and showers, out of all the details for
:01:16. > :01:20.the weekend. Good evening. A man who stabbed his
:01:21. > :01:23.boss to death in South Yorkshire before going on the rampage with a
:01:24. > :01:36.machete will serve a least 27 years in jail. Naeem Mehmood today pleaded
:01:37. > :01:38.guilty to murdering father`of`three Parvaiz Iqbal at his shop in
:01:39. > :01:41.Rotherham last October. The judge called it a brutal,
:01:42. > :01:44.sustained and unprovoked attack and said Mehmood left a trail of
:01:45. > :01:48.destruction as he left the scene. Our Crime Correspondent John Cundy
:01:49. > :01:53.was in court. The murder of Parvaiz Iqbal, violent
:01:54. > :01:59.and sudden, seemed without reason. He was knifed by his employee Naeem
:02:00. > :02:03.Mehmood. The court heard Naeem Mehmood seems to have a grudge
:02:04. > :02:13.against his boss after suffering a severe finger injury in the shop.
:02:14. > :02:17.The appalling events of October the 15th shocked and stunned the
:02:18. > :02:21.community of Eastwood. After the attack, Naeem Mehmood grabbed a
:02:22. > :02:26.meat cleaver on the store and run through the streets, smashing shops,
:02:27. > :02:32.damaging vehicles and shouting bloodthirsty threats at bystanders.
:02:33. > :02:37.It was ten minutes of destruction. There were a lot of members of the
:02:38. > :02:42.public on the street. He came out with mud on his hands and his arms
:02:43. > :02:47.and he had a large machete, so the fear in members of the public must
:02:48. > :02:54.have been terrifying. The measure of Parvaiz Iqbal's respect in the
:02:55. > :02:58.community was shown at his funeral. It should have taken place in the
:02:59. > :03:05.local mosque, but was transferred to a local park to accommodate the
:03:06. > :03:09.hundreds of mourners. Eastwood is a very mixed community and everybody
:03:10. > :03:15.came to his shop to experience his humour and kindness. Naeem
:03:16. > :03:21.Mehmood, who had no previous history of violence, later expressed remorse
:03:22. > :03:26.for his brutal murder of temp to, who he admitted had been a very good
:03:27. > :03:31.man. Naeem Mehmood showed no emotion as he was jailed today for a
:03:32. > :03:35.minimum of 20 one years. John joins us now from Sheffield
:03:36. > :03:39.Crown Court. John ` clearly a harrowing case for so many people
:03:40. > :03:44.this ` talk us through some of the judge's comments.
:03:45. > :03:50.He pointed out that Naeem Mehmood had no history of mental illness,
:03:51. > :03:55.but he described the attack on Parvaiz Iqbal as Savage, unprovoked
:03:56. > :03:59.and barbaric. He said it was very nearly a double murder, because the
:04:00. > :04:05.shop assistant was only saved by emergency surgery that day. He
:04:06. > :04:09.described Naeem Mehmood as a very dangerous man and a considerable
:04:10. > :04:16.risk to public safety, so he said he had no hesitation in jailing him for
:04:17. > :04:23.27 years, which was before he could even begin to think about applying
:04:24. > :04:27.for parole. He also gave him a concurrent ten year sentence for the
:04:28. > :04:32.attack on the shop assistant. The incidents came completely out of the
:04:33. > :04:35.blue and to this day, police and the family of Parvaiz Iqbal cannot
:04:36. > :04:41.really understand what provoked that man to do that that day.
:04:42. > :04:44.Next tonight, Look North has learnt that councils in our region are
:04:45. > :04:48.generating millions of pounds worth of fines from motorists who drive in
:04:49. > :04:51.bus lanes. Charlotte has more. Financial penalties are essential to
:04:52. > :04:53.keep traffic moving ` that's what the Local Government Association
:04:54. > :04:59.says, the body which represents councils. But the fines do also
:05:00. > :05:05.bring in a lot of money. Last year in Sheffield, almost ?86,000 was
:05:06. > :05:08.generated by bus lane enforcement. In York, fines to the value of 1.25
:05:09. > :05:13.million have been issued since last summer. This includes revenue from
:05:14. > :05:16.the Lendal Bridge closure too. And in Leeds revenue of more than ?1.5
:05:17. > :05:22.million was raised from bus lane enforcement in the financial year
:05:23. > :05:25.2012 to 2013. The money from fines has to be spent on Highways and
:05:26. > :05:31.Transport ` but are some councils being overzealous in their
:05:32. > :05:40.collection of penalties? Anna Crossley has more.
:05:41. > :05:47.What has happened is that wagon has stopped there, and because I turned
:05:48. > :05:53.left, it has virtually cut the corner of. Matthew was watching the
:05:54. > :06:02.manoeuvre that got him the fixed penalty line. He's not in the bus
:06:03. > :06:11.lane until he cuts the corner of the lane with two wheels as he prepares
:06:12. > :06:18.to turn left. My personal gain was minimal, it is not like I went all
:06:19. > :06:24.the way down Wellington Road in the bus lane. All fitted is analysed by
:06:25. > :06:29.a council officer before vines are issued. The question is, I've a
:06:30. > :06:32.being too heavy`handed when it comes to minor infringements or are they
:06:33. > :06:42.doing their job and sticking to the law? Sometimes you have to make an
:06:43. > :06:47.example. I don't think it is justifiable for him to pay ?30 per
:06:48. > :06:52.something that minor. I think it is diabolical that that is what they
:06:53. > :06:59.are putting their energy into when people are getting run over left
:07:00. > :07:04.right and centre. Technically, the penalty notice was issued correctly.
:07:05. > :07:11.We asked Leeds City Council about Matthew's case and they told us, bus
:07:12. > :07:21.lanes are designed to give priority access for buses to avoid congestion
:07:22. > :07:28.cues. Camera technology captures the registration numbers of vehicles not
:07:29. > :07:30.authorised to use the lanes. Often counsels incentivise people to
:07:31. > :07:36.accept culpability if the neighbour finds quickly. If they seize that
:07:37. > :07:40.opportunity, it is a lesser penalty than trying to fight it, which could
:07:41. > :07:47.cost them more money as well as the stress involved. My view is if you
:07:48. > :07:51.feel you have a serious issue with the ticket, you should always
:07:52. > :07:55.challenge it and ask them to suspend it until the matter has been
:07:56. > :08:00.resolved. Since we got in touch with the council, back you's penalty
:08:01. > :08:04.ticket has been cancelled as a goodwill gesture, even though the
:08:05. > :08:10.council insists he did use the bus lane improperly.
:08:11. > :08:12.We've had a big response to this. On Facebook Mike Daley wrote "They're
:08:13. > :08:14.just naked money`making schemes, nothing to do with keeping traffic
:08:15. > :08:18.flowing." Richard Atkin said "Bus lanes are
:08:19. > :08:21.for buses. The answer is simple, catch the bus!"
:08:22. > :08:25.And it seems some of you are being put off cities by these fines. Andy
:08:26. > :08:29.Geraghty tweeted us to say ` "My dad got one in Sheffield and has vowed
:08:30. > :08:34.never to go back. He bought a new sofa recently and went to Doncaster
:08:35. > :08:38.instead." As long as the sofa doesn't have four wheels, he'll be
:08:39. > :08:42.fine. Don't forget we always welcome your comments and your stories. You
:08:43. > :08:44.can join the debate on bus lane fines on our Facebook page at BBC

:09:37. > :09:39.killed in Thailand in January. Plans to bring a big wheel back to
:09:40. > :09:43.York's National Railway Museum have been submitted to the council. More
:09:44. > :09:47.than a million people used the wheel next to the museum's Great Hall
:09:48. > :09:52.between 2006 and 2008. Another wheel at the Royal York Hotel took its
:09:53. > :09:56.final spin in September. New proposals would see a 50 metre wheel
:09:57. > :10:08.built in the museum's main car park. A decision is expected next month.
:10:09. > :10:11.A candlelit vigil is being held this evening as demolition work starts on
:10:12. > :10:14.a derelict school in Leeds. A campaign to save Royal Park School
:10:15. > :10:18.in Hyde Park started eight years ago after it closed. The council says no
:10:19. > :10:21.realistic alternative uses have been put forward for the landmark
:10:22. > :10:29.building; protestors wanted it to be used as a community centre. They
:10:30. > :10:34.don't build buildings like this any more, and when it is gone, it is
:10:35. > :10:40.gone. The chance to save it has been lost. It will be regretted, it will
:10:41. > :10:43.be too late, and we told them so. Rail passengers face another six

:10:56. > :10:58.Services from Dronfield have been stopped and the number of trains
:10:59. > :11:02.between Sheffield and Chesterfield has been reduced. Kate Bradbrook is

:11:15. > :11:16.It has been a busy few hours at Sheffield railway station as
:11:17. > :11:22.thousands of people have been making their way home for the weekend. Not
:11:23. > :11:26.quite as busy now, but if you live in Chesterfield or John Fields, it
:11:27. > :11:32.has been a week of destruction, not on by all those wet weather. A
:11:33. > :11:37.dramatic reminder of the power of nature, thousands of tonnes of earth
:11:38. > :11:42.on the move on the outskirts of Chesterfield and heading towards the
:11:43. > :11:50.main real line. Engineers needed to act fast. We realised the speed of
:11:51. > :11:55.the slip was so significant we needed to close the line between
:11:56. > :12:01.Sheffield and Chesterfield, and as you can see, we are actively trying
:12:02. > :12:07.to remove as much of the slip as we can, to allow us to stabilise it and
:12:08. > :12:12.reopen the line. This is the crest of the landslide and it is from here
:12:13. > :12:17.material was beginning to make its way down to the track 30 metres
:12:18. > :12:24.below. You can see the extent of the operation to stop that are from
:12:25. > :12:32.moving. Around 100,000 tonnes of earth was moving and now only the
:12:33. > :12:39.northbound track remains open, meaning delays or replacement buses
:12:40. > :12:42.on some services. Where possible, we are putting more carriages on trains
:12:43. > :12:48.and making sure we can run a good service for passengers. The journey
:12:49. > :12:55.time is about 15 minutes extra between Chesterfield and Sheffield.
:12:56. > :13:02.Shoring up this area is proving to be a mammoth task. Network rail hope
:13:03. > :13:09.the line will be ready to reopen within four to six weeks. Good news
:13:10. > :13:12.for commuters that things will be getting back to normal in the not
:13:13. > :13:17.too distant future, but in the last hour, we have been speaking to
:13:18. > :13:22.commuters on the platform about how badly they have been delayed. It has
:13:23. > :13:31.taken me an extra half hour one`way and Alexa have: The way back, so it
:13:32. > :13:36.is giving me a long day and it is more inconvenient. I know it is not
:13:37. > :13:41.the train services false, but I pay ?103 a month to travel between
:13:42. > :13:47.Chesterfield and Sheffield. I don't mind waiting a bit as long as I
:13:48. > :13:52.actually get home. The track will reopen in the next four six weeks,
:13:53. > :13:56.but that's not the end of the story, as shifting all that
:13:57. > :14:00.remaining earth is likely to take up to six months.
:14:01. > :14:07.We look forward to seeing a train arrived at that station at some
:14:08. > :14:10.point through the evening. Having an operation while you're

:14:33. > :14:35.Molly is about to have a knee replacement. Like many patients, she
:14:36. > :14:42.will have it under local anaesthetic, but things will be a
:14:43. > :14:47.little bit different. What makes an operation under usual is that she
:14:48. > :14:51.will be wearing these goggles, which allowed her to watch a favourite
:14:52. > :14:56.film or TV programme. She will be completely distracted to everything
:14:57. > :15:01.that is going on around her and she will not need extra sedation. I am
:15:02. > :15:10.hoping I would see anything. I will be watching eight film. Surgeons in
:15:11. > :15:15.Harrogate say they are unaware of any other surgeons using these
:15:16. > :15:29.goggles and today, she is watching a musical. Which part in the film are
:15:30. > :15:34.you up to? Dan Singh Queen. She hasn't flinched at all during the
:15:35. > :15:41.procedure and it means we can carry on with our work.
:15:42. > :15:48.Long before the film has finished, the operation is over and she is
:15:49. > :15:53.back on her bed recovering. I was dropping off to sleep a bit, but I
:15:54. > :16:00.made myself wake up and watch. It's just felt good, I had no problem.
:16:01. > :16:06.Surgeons say the goggles are not for everyone, but offer another wave of
:16:07. > :16:09.patients to relax. I am not sure about that.

:16:38. > :16:47.here's an idea of what you can expect.
:16:48. > :16:54.The project is truly ambitious. The aim is to tell over 1000 stories on
:16:55. > :17:00.television, radio and online. We will be showcasing the best of these
:17:01. > :17:06.stories throughout the year. We begin on Monday. I am going to
:17:07. > :17:13.Scarborough, which was bombed by the German Navy in 1914. The German Navy
:17:14. > :17:20.had sent three battle cruisers of the coast to Hartlepool. They sent
:17:21. > :17:28.two to Scarborough and the bombardment started at eight o'clock
:17:29. > :17:33.in the morning. During the rest of the week, we will find out how

:19:02. > :19:06.Purtell plunged over the line for the first try of the night. But the
:19:07. > :19:09.Wildcats had their moments too. They actually hit back with this great
