: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

:08:45. > :08:48.Look North Yorkshire. And you can also reach us via email.

:08:49. > :08:50.Our address is look.north@bbc.co.uk. And you can tweet us at BBC Look

:08:51. > :08:54.North. Before seven o'clock, more delays

:08:55. > :08:57.and cancellations on the cards. Why this landslip is causing a major

:08:58. > :09:04.headache for rail commuters in South Yorkshire.

:09:05. > :09:07.And the surgery patients being offered movie goggles to distract

:09:08. > :09:10.them during operations The funeral of a prominent businessman from

:09:11. > :09:25.Hebden Bridge who died in a motorbike crash while on holiday has

:09:26. > :09:29.taken place. Bob Leedham ` who owned a shop in the town ` appeared on

:09:30. > :09:33.Look North after flooding in the Calder Valley last year and in 2012.

:09:34. > :09:36.Bob was also chairman of Halifax Sunday Football League. He was

: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

:10:44. > :10:46.weeks of delays and cancellations due to a landslip on the line in

:10:47. > :10:50.North Derbyshire. Tens of thousands of tonnes of land need to be removed

:10:51. > :10:52.after the hillside became unstable earlier this week because of all the

:10:53. > :10:55.heavy rain. The area affected is at Unstone.

: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

:11:03. > :11:14.at Sheffield Railway Station this evening. Kate.

: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

:14:11. > :14:13.still conscious can be a really unpleasant experience ` so what if

:14:14. > :14:15.you could watch your favourite film to take your mind off what's going

:14:16. > :14:18.on? Patients at Harrogate Hospital are

:14:19. > :14:21.being given the opportunity to wear video goggles during procedures.

:14:22. > :14:24.Surgeons say that if patients are distracted, it makes their job much

:14:25. > :14:32.easier. Our health correspondent Jamie Coulson reports.

: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.

:16:10. > :16:12.I would have to watch a comedy to get me through it. Later on Look

:16:13. > :16:16.North... From Sochi to Sheffield. Ian "Ice"

:16:17. > :16:21.White tries his hand at the sport everyone's talking about!

:16:22. > :16:24.Next week, Look North joins one of the biggest projects ever undertaken

:16:25. > :16:27.by the BBC. Working with Imperial War Museums, we've been gathering

:16:28. > :16:30.stories about how the war affected people at home, rather than on the

:16:31. > :16:34.front line. We'll be showcasing the best of them

:16:35. > :16:37.throughout the year ` they're local stories from a global conflict `

: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

:17:34. > :17:38.Lizzie the elephants did her bit for the war effort in Sheffield, only

:17:39. > :17:43.test by electric showmanship to fire and crashed to his death in Leeds.

:17:44. > :17:49.And we will hear the World War I love letters that have been set to

:17:50. > :17:55.music. It looks good.

:17:56. > :17:59.I was a doormat boat? Pretty cold. There'll be more on those stories on

:18:00. > :18:02.BBC Radio York, Leeds and Sheffield all next week. They'll be featuring

:18:03. > :18:04.a story every day from at around 8.15 each morning and throughout the

:18:05. > :18:08.day. And from Monday, you'll be able to

:18:09. > :18:11.see all these features in one place, go to the website. That's

:18:12. > :18:20.bbc.co.uk/ww1 and follow the links to WW1 at Home.

:18:21. > :18:23.On the field last night the Bradford Bulls certainly gave their

:18:24. > :18:47.travelling fans something to smile about at last! All they need now is

:18:48. > :18:49.for the change of ownership to be approved by the Rugby football

:18:50. > :18:57.league and that will be at meetings next week. Their first win of the

:18:58. > :19:01.new Super League season came away in the derby at Wakefield. Adrian

: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

:19:10. > :19:13.combination between centre Dean Collis and winger Peter Fox to bring

:19:14. > :19:17.their first try. But the Bulls had just a little bit more on the night

:19:18. > :19:20.` Adam O'Brien's speed of thought from dummy half brought them the

:19:21. > :19:39.score that sealed the points ` 23`10 was how it finished in Bradford's

:19:40. > :19:42.favour. And that means two defeats from two so far for Wakefield.

:19:43. > :19:45.Tonight, Leeds Rhinos play their first home match of the season,

:19:46. > :19:49.against Warrington Wolves. We'll bring you the pick of the action at

:19:50. > :19:52.10.25pm in our late bulletin, but there's full match commentary on BBC

:19:53. > :19:55.Radio Leeds, and of course the Super League Show with extended highlights

:19:56. > :19:59.on Monday night at ten to midnight on BBC One. In football,

:20:00. > :20:02.Chesterfield have had a week to remember already, after their

:20:03. > :20:06.passage to Wembley for the JP Trophy final in March. But it has been a

:20:07. > :20:09.bit soured today, by some remarkable news from a match they played

:20:10. > :20:11.recently against Torquay. Two Chesterfield players ` French

:20:12. > :20:14.striker Armand Gnanduillet, and defender Ollie Banks, both claim to

:20:15. > :20:20.have been bitten during the match by a Torquay player or players. Look at

:20:21. > :20:29.this ` Ollie Banks even tweeted a picture of the scar! The Football

:20:30. > :20:34.Association is now investigating the allegations. Their manager Paul Cook

:20:35. > :20:44.touched on it today as he spoke ahead tomorrow's match at Wycombe.

:20:45. > :20:48.The people who run the game run them very well and someone has bet

:20:49. > :20:54.someone, that is out of our hands and Turkey will deal with it. It is

:20:55. > :21:02.no good for the game, we prefer to concentrate on all the good things

:21:03. > :21:09.going on, not the negative things. Let's go good for auction is

:21:10. > :21:13.continued. `` let's hope they are good fortune continues. A young man

:21:14. > :21:16.from Huddersfield is planning to take the American boxing industry by

:21:17. > :21:20.storm, despite having no fight record to his name at all. This is

:21:21. > :21:23.Fes "The Las Vegas Monster" Batista. He grew up in Huddersfield but has

:21:24. > :21:26.self`launched his fledgling fight career in The States, and is now

:21:27. > :21:30.heading for Las Vegas. He'll be fighting on National TV in America

:21:31. > :21:33.in July, we think, after training at the Mayweather stable. He's got the

:21:34. > :21:37.most eye`catching sunglasses I've seen for a while ` even in the

:21:38. > :21:44.boxing world. And to say he's fearless is an understatement. I

:21:45. > :21:48.don't see it *, I see it as an opportunity. I will let the world

:21:49. > :21:58.know what I am about. They tell me I am a tremendous puncher, I am a

:21:59. > :22:02.giant, so I know I can own a ring. When I get into the ring, it is my

:22:03. > :22:08.ring and I don't care who's in front of me, I'm going to go there and

:22:09. > :22:11.search and destroy. I figure will be seen those sunglasses again. Can I

:22:12. > :22:14.just say finally good luck to Sheffield boxer Curtis Woodhouse

:22:15. > :22:17.this weekend. Tomorrow night in Hull he fights for the British light
