:00:00. > :00:00.On News at Six. It's goodbye from me.
:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to tonight's Look North On the programme tonight, children's
:00:00. > :00:09.heart surgery in Leeds under scrutiny again.
:00:10. > :00:23.Two reports out today find the unit is safe but a number of famhlies
:00:24. > :00:27.received poor care. That is a source of profound regret. And we `re
:00:28. > :00:30.incredibly sorry. I can't s`y that enough.
:00:31. > :00:33.We'll have the chief executhve of the Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust
:00:34. > :00:36.live with us in the studio. Also tonight, Yorkshire's schools
:00:37. > :00:45.again bottom of the class in the latest league tables from Ofsted.
:00:46. > :00:48.Join us live at York Minster as BBC television cameras are allowed
:00:49. > :00:52.behind the scenes to see thd day`to`day workings of this
:00:53. > :00:56.magnificent cathedral. Sunrise in Scarborough at the start
:00:57. > :01:01.of March. 17 degrees this afternoon, but what about the next
:01:02. > :01:09.few days? Join me for the forecast coming up shortly.
:01:10. > :01:13.Thank you for joining us. Tonight, a full apology to the
:01:14. > :01:16.families who've received poor care on the children's heart surgery unit
:01:17. > :01:20.in Leeds. An independent review found relatives had suffered a
:01:21. > :01:23.tragic loss of compassion. @nd sometimes weren't even offered basic
:01:24. > :01:27.kindness. Leeds General Infhrmary has been the subject of a ydar long
:01:28. > :01:30.review, after surgery was stspended at its children's heart unit because
:01:31. > :01:34.of concerns over the number of deaths. The review found thd
:01:35. > :01:41.hospital to be safe. But sahd it needed to improve patient c`re.
:01:42. > :01:44.Children's heart surgery has been suspended at a hospital in Leeds.
:01:45. > :01:47.The suspension of children's heart surgery in Leeds last March caused a
:01:48. > :01:53.storm of claim and counterclaim about death rates and quality of
:01:54. > :01:57.care at the unit. But now, `lmost a year on, NHS England has published
:01:58. > :02:01.two reports into the closurd. One looking at all deaths on thd unit
:02:02. > :02:04.over a five`year period. And the second, an examination of the
:02:05. > :02:09.treatment that some parents say they received. The mortality revhew
:02:10. > :02:12.looked into the deaths of 34 children who found the clinhcal
:02:13. > :02:18.outcomes were in line with others similar units, and that services are
:02:19. > :02:21.safe and running well. But the report looking at how patients were
:02:22. > :02:24.treated found shortcomings hn the care of 16 families, includhng one
:02:25. > :02:33.mother who said she felt prdssured into having an abortion, ag`inst her
:02:34. > :02:40.Muslim beliefs. We are profoundly sorry that we have let you down
:02:41. > :02:48.We... Have a sense of profotnd. . Disappointment and regret that. .
:02:49. > :02:51.Your experience was... So poor. We are thrilled that the unfair and
:02:52. > :02:54.flawed decision... Surgery was suspended the very day after
:02:55. > :02:58.campaigners overturned a decision to close the unit in the High Court. An
:02:59. > :03:01.investigation into safety and quality of care followed and today's
:03:02. > :03:07.two reports make 35 recommendations for improvement. Many familhes come
:03:08. > :03:12.to this unit having incredibly positive experiences. Much of this
:03:13. > :03:17.is a very negative view of the service. We must take heart from the
:03:18. > :03:21.fact that most of the familhes who come through here have very positive
:03:22. > :03:29.experience and it is a very safe place for children. Michelld Elliott
:03:30. > :03:32.is one of the 16 parents referred to in the report. She believes her
:03:33. > :03:35.daughter Jessica suffered brain damage because of delays in being
:03:36. > :03:40.referred for a heart transplant It's a step in the right direction.
:03:41. > :03:43.But I think it's important the message is out there that this isn't
:03:44. > :03:46.a clean bill of health. It's so important to us that no othdr
:03:47. > :03:51.children die during surgery or immediately after. These colplaints
:03:52. > :03:54.go back to 2009. I'm not saxing they're not valid, however what I'm
:03:55. > :03:58.saying is that the centre is safe, and that is the most import`nt
:03:59. > :04:01.message for me to give, bearing in mind we do support families. The
:04:02. > :04:04.third report, looking at concerns look from whistle`blowing doctors
:04:05. > :04:09.from other units, has yet to be published. Meanwhile, the longer
:04:10. > :04:19.term future of the unit won't be known until next year.
:04:20. > :04:26.Joining me now is Julian Hartley the chief executive of Leeds Te`ching
:04:27. > :04:32.Hospital. Thank you for joining us. Several parents saying they received
:04:33. > :04:36.no comfort. No compassion after their child died. You are a parent,
:04:37. > :04:41.how would you feel if that were you and you didn't receive what can only
:04:42. > :04:45.be described as basic kindndss? I'd be devastated. And I think the
:04:46. > :04:54.reports we see in the familx experience report, I would say, we
:04:55. > :04:58.are so sorry. To those families That they went through that
:04:59. > :05:06.experience. In Leeds, we trdat 10,000 children every year, 800
:05:07. > :05:13.operations, and that report of those 16 families from 2009`2013
:05:14. > :05:22.documenting their poor experience is incredibly upsetting. And it is
:05:23. > :05:27.important to say very, very clearly that we, obviously, regret that and
:05:28. > :05:30.we are deriving every ounce of learning from those experiences
:05:31. > :05:35.There are only 16, that we have heard from, but how do you know
:05:36. > :05:39.there are hundreds more not speaking out? We know there are many families
:05:40. > :05:45.who are very positive about their treatment and care in the children's
:05:46. > :05:49.heart unit. This afternoon, I was with children are parents, families,
:05:50. > :05:55.staff on the unit, and all of them were saying how positive thdir
:05:56. > :06:01.experience was, and what good care was being provided. That is not to
:06:02. > :06:07.minimise the poor care. One case of pouring spirits is one too lany And
:06:08. > :06:10.that is important for us to take on. There are more serious accusations
:06:11. > :06:13.as well. One woman such werd sterilised because she was told she
:06:14. > :06:17.would have another child with a heart defect if she wasn't
:06:18. > :06:24.sterilised. She has since found out that isn't true. How can thhs
:06:25. > :06:31.happen? This report documents a number of extremely poor experiences
:06:32. > :06:36.that patients speak about. When our staff read those reports, they were
:06:37. > :06:41.devastated. And we would do everything we can in the trtst to
:06:42. > :06:46.make sure that we have very clear policies about those sorts of
:06:47. > :06:49.issues, that we ensure that we are offering high`quality experhence and
:06:50. > :06:58.care for every patient that we treat, and, we need to make sure,
:06:59. > :07:01.and we have made sure, that we have ways of getting feedback in
:07:02. > :07:07.real`time from patients and families immediately, in terms of anx issues
:07:08. > :07:12.or concerns, and act on those. Your predecessor fought hard to keep the
:07:13. > :07:16.unit open, you have only bedn in them job for five months, c`n the
:07:17. > :07:22.staff rely a new to fight their corner? They can rely on me
:07:23. > :07:25.absolutely to do the very bdst for the hospitals, and we are confident
:07:26. > :07:30.because the report that said Leeds teaching hospitals child he`rt unit
:07:31. > :07:35.is safe and running well is a very important message for children,
:07:36. > :07:40.patients, families, and the wider region. Thank you for coming in
:07:41. > :07:44.Also tonight, I'm guiltier than most for banging on about what a great
:07:45. > :07:47.county this is, but as a former teacher I'm a bit embarrassdd about
:07:48. > :07:52.our next story. Yorkshire's schools are again bottom of the class in the
:07:53. > :07:54.latest league tables. Ofsted, the school's examining board, h`s
:07:55. > :07:57.published its results and ott of nine regions, Yorkshire, whhch also
:07:58. > :08:03.includes Hull and Lincolnshhre, is the worst. It has the lowest number
:08:04. > :08:06.of schools rated as "good to outstanding." In six of our local
:08:07. > :08:13.authorities, parents have ldss than a 50% chance of choosing a good or
:08:14. > :08:22.outstanding secondary for their child. And it's causing concern As
:08:23. > :08:26.Heidi Tomlinson reports. At this school, they are proud of a
:08:27. > :08:30.good rating from Ofsted inspectors. A majority of Yorkshire schools are
:08:31. > :08:35.doing well, but compared with the rest of the country, we comd last.
:08:36. > :08:41.London is at the top with 86% of schools classed as good or
:08:42. > :08:45.outstanding, and Yorkshire hs what of the table. It's about ensuring
:08:46. > :08:49.you have the best leadership in schools, it is about ensuring that
:08:50. > :08:53.every single teacher in every single school, in every single lesson is
:08:54. > :08:58.delivering high`quality learning for their pupils. And that isn't
:08:59. > :09:03.happening? Quite clearly, it isn't, otherwise we wouldn't have this
:09:04. > :09:07.profile. There are clear differences between educational authorities in
:09:08. > :09:11.the region. So, the number of schools in York that need
:09:12. > :09:17.improvement, Liam, have you got a figure? It is 22%, Miss. Th`t's
:09:18. > :09:29.right. Let's compare that to Rotherham. Danny? 26%. Amy, what
:09:30. > :09:31.about Doncaster? 39%. If we look at that compared to the nation`l
:09:32. > :09:38.average of schools that need improvement, that is 21%. So, Don
:09:39. > :09:43.Caster is bottom of the Yorkshire class, where is York is a star
:09:44. > :09:47.pupil. One of the reasons wd are improving in York is that the local
:09:48. > :09:52.authority work closely with the schools in the city and we have very
:09:53. > :09:54.few academies in York. More broadly across the region, those
:09:55. > :09:59.partnerships have been more fractious. At the heart of this
:10:00. > :10:03.debate are students and I asked some 14`year`olds what they thought of
:10:04. > :10:09.Yorkshire's poor results. I don t think it is exactly fair, btt we
:10:10. > :10:14.can't exactly choose where we live as teenagers. I think schools should
:10:15. > :10:19.cater for people 's needs, `nd this school does this. We have vdry good
:10:20. > :10:23.teachers here. Ofsted says there are grounds for optimism. The ntmber of
:10:24. > :10:30.good schools is increasing. But even that progress is too slow.
:10:31. > :10:35.Later on Look North. The roxal battle continues. The row over the
:10:36. > :10:42.final resting place for King Richard III ends up in the High Court.
:10:43. > :10:45.In the rest of the day's news, the Bradford based supermarket chain
:10:46. > :10:50.Morrisons has posted its worst results in five years, a prd`tax
:10:51. > :10:56.loss of ?170 million. That's down from a profit of nearly ?880 million
:10:57. > :10:59.the year before. The companx says it's been a "disappointing" year, as
:11:00. > :11:08.turnover fell by 2%. Price cuts are planned to try to win custolers
:11:09. > :11:12.back. My job is to make surd that this business is fit for thd future.
:11:13. > :11:16.That starts with putting thd customer first, which is giving them
:11:17. > :11:19.the prices they need and want in these very challenging times. If we
:11:20. > :11:23.have more customers spending more of their money more of the timd in our
:11:24. > :11:25.shops, we can be a stronger business.
:11:26. > :11:29.Two men have been arrested over the murder of a Leeds man whose body was
:11:30. > :11:32.found in woods in Chapel Allerton. Colin Pierre bled to death from a
:11:33. > :11:36.shotgun wound. His body was discovered by two schoolboys in a
:11:37. > :11:38.beck in woods off Gledhow V`lley Road on Tuesday morning. Thd
:11:39. > :11:48.arrested men, who are aged forty one and forty eight, remain in police
:11:49. > :11:51.custody. `` 41 and 48. A ?10 million plan to replace the
:11:52. > :11:54.main exhibition hall at Harrogate's Great Yorkshire Showground has been
:11:55. > :11:57.unveiled this morning. The showground is estimated to bring ?47
:11:58. > :11:59.million to the local economx every year. Its owner, the Yorkshhre
:12:00. > :12:02.Agricultural Society, believes that figures will increase if it's given
:12:03. > :12:06.planning permission for the building. It says a new hall would
:12:07. > :12:11.offer more exhibition space, a cafe, and improved facilities.
:12:12. > :12:14.The cities of York and Leicdster are doing battle in the High Cotrt
:12:15. > :12:18.today, over the bones of King Richard III. His remains were found
:12:19. > :12:21.under a car park in Leicestdr last year. The University of Leicester
:12:22. > :12:24.holds the licence to bury them, but campaigners including a grotp of the
:12:25. > :12:32.King's distant relatives want him buried at York Minster. Jamds
:12:33. > :12:38.Vincent has been in Court. What has been happening?
:12:39. > :12:41.Well, this royal legal saga is in danger of going on for longdr than
:12:42. > :12:44.Richard III was actually on the throne. The argument today hs and
:12:45. > :12:49.whether it should Leicester or York, although it is getting a bit
:12:50. > :12:54.like that, it is about the decision to grant Leicester permission to
:12:55. > :12:58.bury the King. Now, the Plantagenet Alliance, the group from York, they
:12:59. > :13:01.say that should not have bedn granted in the first place, and the
:13:02. > :13:06.contingent down here listenhng to the evidence in court clearly wanted
:13:07. > :13:11.to overturn it. We now know that if you find a named
:13:12. > :13:17.individual, no matter how long they've been dead and buried, the
:13:18. > :13:26.living relative scare. This case is a proof of that. `` the livhng
:13:27. > :13:31.relatives care. Maybe the f`ct that they are looking at this ovdr the
:13:32. > :13:35.next four days, their consultation will sort it out. And what we are
:13:36. > :13:43.hoping for is a hot knife through butter because this is what this
:13:44. > :13:45.case now needs. Shouldn't this be a straightforward decision? Hhs
:13:46. > :13:50.relatives say York. That is exactly what the Pl`ntagenet
:13:51. > :13:55.alliance is saying. Whether a body is found, King or not, the relatives
:13:56. > :14:01.are asked where that body should be buried. The converse argument is
:14:02. > :14:04.that it was a body buried 530 years ago. And the court has heard that
:14:05. > :14:08.there are millions of peopld that can rightly claim to be a ddscendant
:14:09. > :14:13.of Richard III's mother. Is it good value for money? Is it senshble and
:14:14. > :14:17.logical to ask every single one of them what should happen? It is up to
:14:18. > :14:21.the High Court to decide ex`ctly what will happen in this case.
:14:22. > :14:25.He has waited long enough to be buried, when will we get a
:14:26. > :14:29.decision? We talked about him being on a
:14:30. > :14:33.throne for 26 months, and wd are not long of that. We have had one day of
:14:34. > :14:37.evidence today, one day of dvidence tomorrow, and they will either say
:14:38. > :14:40.they will make a judgement late on Friday afternoon, or they mhght go
:14:41. > :14:46.away, scratch their heads, think about it, and tell us their decision
:14:47. > :14:48.in three weeks time. Either way this long`running saga might go on
:14:49. > :14:50.for some time. Plans have been announced for a
:14:51. > :14:54.multimillion`pound developmdnt next to the M62 in West Yorkshird which
:14:55. > :14:57.would provide a new stadium for Castleford Tigers and a new shopping
:14:58. > :15:02.centre. As Shamir Masri reports it could create 2,000 jobs.
:15:03. > :15:06.This is the vision of a ?134 million development on the edge of
:15:07. > :15:12.Castleford. It could help create around 2000 jobs and a new retail
:15:13. > :15:16.area. But it could also become the new home of Rugby League cltb
:15:17. > :15:22.Castleford Tigers. And a replacement for the ageing ground at Whdldon
:15:23. > :15:24.Road will be very welcome. Ht's the spiritual home of Castleford Tigers
:15:25. > :15:29.but, unfortunately, in terms of competing with the other te`ms, we
:15:30. > :15:34.are unable to do it. So to love to a stadium with state`of`the`art
:15:35. > :15:39.facilities is a godsend. Thhs is the proposed site, just off junction 32
:15:40. > :15:44.of the M62. But what needs to happen next if these plans are to be
:15:45. > :15:47.approved? We will meet the community, get their responses and
:15:48. > :15:52.thoughts with a view to sublit a planning application in the middle
:15:53. > :15:55.part of the summer. If the plans are agreed and approved by Wakefield
:15:56. > :16:06.Council, building could start next year. Of course, Castleford, they
:16:07. > :16:08.have had a great start to the season.

:16:50. > :16:54.them their tenth win on the bounce, a run that includes 17 sheets. ``
:16:55. > :16:57.seven clean sheets. Sheffield Wednesday's manager Stuart Gray was
:16:58. > :17:00.less than impressed with referee last night. As well as being awarded
:17:01. > :17:04.a penalty, he felt Wigan's goalkeeper should have been sent
:17:05. > :17:07.off. Instead, he was given ` yellow card and saved the resulting spot
:17:08. > :17:11.kick. It was to prove costlx when the hosts got a penalty of their own
:17:12. > :17:15.late in the game which was put away by Jordi Gomez. It wasn't a game for
:17:16. > :17:18.the purists, was the assesslent of the Huddersfield boss, Mark Robins,
:17:19. > :17:22.as his side drew 0`0 at Charlton. They were restricted to long`range
:17:23. > :17:28.shots but he was pleased with the way his side battled.

:18:00. > :18:03.Whenever I step inside this building, I can't help but be
:18:04. > :18:06.overawed by its majestic be`uty It's quite humbling but,
:18:07. > :18:11.nonetheless, inspirational experience. If you've never been
:18:12. > :18:16.before, there's a chance to see how it lives and breathes in thhs new
:18:17. > :18:19.documentary which begins thhs weekend. Here's a quick excdrpt of
:18:20. > :18:23.what is in store. Holy week is reaching its climax,
:18:24. > :18:27.and it is Easter Saturday. The verges are on the final strdtch
:18:28. > :18:36.preparing for the highly sylbolic Easter vigil. But, first, the head
:18:37. > :18:39.virgin is going to be tested. A white cloth must be draped over a
:18:40. > :18:44.giant crucifix suspended from the central tower. It is not so bad
:18:45. > :18:49.going up if you're changing things like the lights, which we do use
:18:50. > :18:54.that for, because then you `re against a pillar, so you fedl there
:18:55. > :18:57.is an element of if the thing was to Roquefort, there would be something
:18:58. > :19:06.to stop it. If it was to move in any direction up there, you can come
:19:07. > :19:11.crashing down. It is quite a fascinating btt quirky
:19:12. > :19:16.documentary. Two of the stars are Alex, the head virgin, and Rebecca,
:19:17. > :19:20.the superintendent of works. Alex, this must have been a huge leap of
