Good evening from a special edition of Look North here in Sheffield ` as

:00:07.:00:11.

we welcome home Harry and Amy from their intrepid tandem tour. They've

:00:12.:00:17.

attracted a huge crowd ` and a bucket load of cash for Sport

:00:18.:00:28.

Relief. They're only minutes away now ` we

:00:29.:00:32.

can just see them coming in ` there they are now, flanked by police

:00:33.:00:42.

outriders, cyclists convoy. 250 miles, eight gruelling days, but

:00:43.:00:54.

pain and joy. Also tonight: Unacceptable waiting

:00:55.:01:00.

times ` the growing row over the future of A and E services at two of

:01:01.:01:03.

our hospitals. The cost of hosting the Yorkshire

:01:04.:01:06.

Grand Depart revealed to be ?2 million more than originally

:01:07.:01:17.

thought. And it is the first weekend of

:01:18.:01:19.

spring. Join me for the forecast. Well Yorkshire's leg of the Tour de

:01:20.:01:42.

France ends here in Sheffield ` and in a few moments Harry and Amy will

:01:43.:01:46.

end their Tandem Tour de Yorkshire, right here in the English Institute

:01:47.:01:51.

of Sport. They're just minutes away ` getting

:01:52.:02:02.

a good reception out there. It is all in a good cause. And hopefully

:02:03.:02:12.

we'll have their final tally before the end of the programme. We

:02:13.:02:19.

estimate it could be in excess of ?80,000. We're going to give them a

:02:20.:02:24.

good reception aren't we? Let's remind ourselves of the scale

:02:25.:02:30.

of this challenge. It was all smiles when they started in Leeds eight

:02:31.:02:36.

long days ago. They conquered Buttertubs Pass while cycling

:02:37.:02:38.

through our beautiful and very hilly Yorkshire Dales into Harrogate and

:02:39.:02:46.

York. There were those killer climbs ` Cragg Vale and Holme Moss. And

:02:47.:02:54.

today at the end of 250 miles they are here in Sheffield. What did the

:02:55.:02:58.

route throw at them on their final day? Ian White reports.

:02:59.:03:13.

Yesterday at horrendous climb. The weather brought tears to the eyes.

:03:14.:03:24.

The wind is wild. But the wind is not going to stop them today.

:03:25.:03:30.

Keeping them safe week, a team of motorbike outriders. It has been

:03:31.:03:35.

good fun. The motorists have been fantastic. He is not well. He has

:03:36.:03:51.

got pain in his legs. He has got a cold. The one thing that has kept

:03:52.:04:01.

Harry and Amy going is the support from the viewers.

:04:02.:04:26.

had to do our bit. It has been terrible for them.

:04:27.:04:46.

We are so proud. With the end of the tandem to getting closer there was

:04:47.:04:55.

more encouragement. We are nearly beat but not quite. My car is

:04:56.:05:03.

struggling, imagine what their legs are doing. There is a handrail here

:05:04.:05:11.

for a reason. It is tough. The countdown begins. Here they

:05:12.:06:05.

come. They will feel a great sense of relief as they pass the finish

:06:06.:06:14.

line. They are looking pretty good to me. They are all smiles as they

:06:15.:06:24.

arrive at the finishing line. Welcome home. How do you feel?

:06:25.:06:32.

Fantastic. Amazing eight days. Something I never thought I would

:06:33.:06:38.

achieve. He is, Lowes, exhilaration, the lot.

:06:39.:06:47.

I will be sad to not see it tomorrow. It has been brilliant. We

:06:48.:06:56.

have had our real giggle. The crowds have been incredible.

:06:57.:07:04.

I have got two very special people to introduce you to.

:07:05.:07:18.

This is Harry. This is Amy. A yellow Jersey. Fantastic.

:07:19.:07:28.

I bet you cannot wait to get back on a bike. The good news is you are

:07:29.:07:34.

going back to Leeds on it. Absolutely no way.

:07:35.:07:42.

We will come back to you in a few moments time.

:07:43.:07:48.

There is still time for people to donate.

:07:49.:08:26.

will come back when Harry and Amy have cot their breath. `` have

:08:27.:08:32.

regained their breath. services at hospitals in Halifax and

:08:33.:08:52.

Huddersfield has intensified as NHS figures reveal how long some people

:08:53.:08:57.

are waiting to be seen. Since last November over 2,000 patients have

:08:58.:09:00.

waited longer than the target time of four hours. Campaigners say it

:09:01.:09:04.

proves that the area still needs two A units, while the local NHS say

:09:05.:09:07.

it justifies the reason for considering change. Our health

:09:08.:09:15.

correspondent Jamie Coulson reports. Her mother feels she had to wait too

:09:16.:09:23.

long to be seen. I wanted them to put it right. 95% of patients should

:09:24.:09:32.

be seen within four hours. Latest figures show the hospital trust

:09:33.:09:38.

responsible has struggled at times over the winter. Between the 10th of

:09:39.:09:46.

November and the 9th of March this hospital saw over 46,000 patients.

:09:47.:09:52.

More than 2000 had to wait for more than four hours. 738 patients had to

:09:53.:10:03.

wait between four hours and 12 hours for a bed.

:10:04.:10:06.

These figures have been seized upon by campaigners. In one scenario the

:10:07.:10:14.

Accident and Emergency department could be scaled back. Those

:10:15.:10:24.

departments are overcapacity now. We need investment. The two hospitals

:10:25.:10:33.

are five miles apart. They both offer full Accident and Emergency

:10:34.:10:40.

departments. The preferred option of the trust would see complex clear

:10:41.:10:51.

removed to Huddersfield. We are changing the way services are

:10:52.:10:56.

provided. If we get this service correct people will visit hospital

:10:57.:11:02.

less. People will have services closer to home.

:11:03.:11:07.

Many families will now watch developments keenly.

:11:08.:11:14.

And there's more on this story on this week's Sunday Politics ` at 11

:11:15.:11:18.

o'clock on BBC One. The cost to Yorkshire of putting on

:11:19.:11:22.

the Tour de France this summer has been underestimated by over ?2

:11:23.:11:28.

million. A new report shows that the company which will be supplying

:11:29.:11:31.

services underestimated the scale of the event. Our Tour de France

:11:32.:11:34.

Correspondent Matt Slater joins us now. Matt ` how embarrassing is this

:11:35.:11:38.

with just over a hundred days to go till the Tour starts here?

:11:39.:11:46.

It is a bit embarrassing as opposed to deeply worrying. The organisers

:11:47.:11:53.

of the Grand Depart wanted to talk about their latest update. They say

:11:54.:11:57.

that broadly speaking they are on track. That we have ended up talking

:11:58.:12:03.

about this internal report into how the main supplier of the barriers

:12:04.:12:11.

and signs has been chosen because the winning bid is for 4.5 million

:12:12.:12:17.

pounds, more than double the original estimate. This internal

:12:18.:12:21.

report suggests that the estimate was and realistically low. That is

:12:22.:12:28.

embarrassing. It has led to questions. Questions that I put to

:12:29.:12:33.

the chairman of the company that runs the Grand Depart. Those who

:12:34.:12:40.

prepared the original budget could be forgiven for any and provision

:12:41.:12:44.

that have made. We are of the opinion that the money we have

:12:45.:12:48.

available to as provided by the local authority, transport for

:12:49.:12:57.

London, if properly managed will more than covered the job that we

:12:58.:13:02.

have been asked to do. Where are we going to get the money from?

:13:03.:13:08.

I suppose he has seen steady numbers from when he was in charge of

:13:09.:13:14.

building Wembley. Savings have been found elsewhere in the budget. There

:13:15.:13:19.

are some authorities that have not been asked for money yet. There is a

:13:20.:13:25.

contingency fund. The message is, do not panic.

:13:26.:13:30.

The owner and manager of a Todmorden slaughterhouse have been charged

:13:31.:13:33.

with breaching laws governing the traceability of horse meat. The

:13:34.:13:36.

charges against Peter Boddy, seen here in a BBC documentary, and David

:13:37.:13:39.

Moss follow a joint investigation by the Food Standards Agency, Welsh

:13:40.:13:45.

police and Calderdale Council. Mr Boddy and Mr Moss are due before

:13:46.:13:48.

magistrates in Westminster on the 14th of April. It is not being

:13:49.:13:53.

alleged that the horse meat was being sold as another meat.

:13:54.:13:58.

A couple from Selby are calling for a formal apology and improved

:13:59.:14:00.

training for midwives after their baby was delivered stillborn. Debbie

:14:01.:14:05.

Horner treasures the prints from her daughter. They're all she has after

:14:06.:14:10.

a series of mistakes during labour at St James' hospital in Leeds. The

:14:11.:14:18.

Leeds Hospitals Trust admits midwives failed to record the baby's

:14:19.:14:22.

abnormal heart rate before it was too late. It is horrendous. It is a

:14:23.:14:28.

nightmare. It never goes away. It will never get any better. We just

:14:29.:14:36.

want to stop it happening to somebody else.

:14:37.:14:42.

An RAF airman from Bradford who helped a helicopter to land while it

:14:43.:14:46.

was being shot at in Afghanistan has been recognised for his bravery.

:14:47.:14:49.

Despite being badly injured, Master Aircrew Bob Sunderland returned fire

:14:50.:14:52.

and helped the captain to land safely. He's been mentioned in

:14:53.:14:56.

dispatches and honoured at a ceremony in London. We were shot at

:14:57.:15:04.

from various positions. There was not much time to think about what

:15:05.:15:10.

happened to me. It was all about keeping the troops safe and the

:15:11.:15:16.

aircraft. A hoard of jewellery which was

:15:17.:15:19.

seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act has been sold in Sheffield this

:15:20.:15:24.

afternoon. The jewellery was taken from a Doncaster man who was

:15:25.:15:27.

convicted of tax evasion offences. It was deemed to be an asset that

:15:28.:15:31.

should be sold, in order to pay back some of the ?26 million it's

:15:32.:15:34.

estimated that he and his associates made from their crimes. The hoard

:15:35.:15:38.

eventually went for a total of ?182,000.

:15:39.:15:42.

Well, let's go back to the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield,

:15:43.:15:46.

where Harry and Amy have received an amazing reception after completing

:15:47.:15:49.

their Tour de Tandem, all 250 miles of Yorkshire's Tour de France route.

:15:50.:15:52.

And Phil, there's quite a party going on there.

:15:53.:16:02.

As you can see the crowds once again have turned out in Sheffield. Here

:16:03.:16:11.

are the stars of the show. Harry and Amy. This is man. Why did you come

:16:12.:16:23.

down tonight? Just a show support. What do you make of this? Hard work.

:16:24.:16:34.

Fantastic. You are here as well. Why did you come along? Just to watch

:16:35.:16:46.

them finish. Why have you come along tonight? We have been following them

:16:47.:16:55.

all day. We have come down to support them tonight. Would you

:16:56.:17:01.

attempt anything like this yourself? Absolutely not. Thank you for

:17:02.:17:11.

talking to us. Let us talk to the stars of the show.

:17:12.:17:25.

Your families have given you all the support. Without them you would have

:17:26.:17:34.

struggled. To experience what we have gone through this week, you

:17:35.:17:40.

could not have done it without support. It is the people here and

:17:41.:17:45.

the people on the route to have kept us going when it got really bad. You

:17:46.:17:57.

were sobbing your eyes out. Well you let him out any more? The house has

:17:58.:18:05.

been really tidy. I just want to know ahead of time what he is

:18:06.:18:17.

planning. Was this a big sacrifice for you? Yes. Thank you for your

:18:18.:18:31.

support. It has been an epic challenge.

:18:32.:18:49.

You are a rugby legend. This was inspired by the Tour de France.

:18:50.:19:07.

We are covering over 1000 miles. You are professional cyclists.

:19:08.:19:18.

To do that on a tandem, that is fantastic. Thank you for coming

:19:19.:19:25.

down. All of the money raised goes to Sport Relief.

:19:26.:19:38.

Here they are trying to find out how far they can get.

:19:39.:19:51.

That gets us 274 miles so far. Almost into Holland.

:19:52.:20:05.

This man will settle for just one mile. He has Parkinson's disease.

:20:06.:20:13.

His dog has been taking him out for a run in preparation.

:20:14.:20:20.

Have you ever done a full mile? Only at school.

:20:21.:20:46.

that run. `` ladies that lunch and mothers that run. Just coming out a

:20:47.:20:55.

couple of times a week and getting that feel`good factor, everybody

:20:56.:20:58.

says it you go home feeling so much better.

:20:59.:21:12.

This building society is sponsoring the event.

:21:13.:21:24.

Amy and Harry have survived as the memorable moments. Let us look back

:21:25.:21:28.

at some of those moments. They are having a romantic weekend.

:21:29.:22:06.

You have just spoiled it. That view has made all the pain worth it.

:22:07.:22:11.

I feel all right. I am glad you do. `` the emotion that has gone into

:22:12.:24:47.

this. You can write twice. `` you cried twice. Having the crowds

:24:48.:24:56.

cheering you on, it all got a bit much for me. I have had some

:24:57.:25:06.

physiotherapy. The main problem has been my chest. Amy said I should be

:25:07.:25:22.

put down. Would you do it again? Ask the next week. I am not going to do

:25:23.:25:38.

it again. Well done. It will be nice to see

:25:39.:25:43.

you in the studio next week. you in the

:25:44.:25:50.

It is spelling, that there is for Ross to come this weekend. There

:25:51.:25:57.

will be a number of showers. By the end of tonight there could be a

:25:58.:26:02.

covering of snow. Showers moving in from the West. The showers will be

:26:03.:26:17.

heavy and prolonged. Temperature is quite close to freezing. There is a

:26:18.:26:26.

warning for ice in Western areas. Tomorrow, a mixture of sunny spells

:26:27.:26:33.

and scattered showers. The showers will turn heavier. There will be a

:26:34.:26:42.

risk of heel and sleet. A typical match picture. Clear or sunny spells

:26:43.:26:50.

and scattered showers. The showers on Sunday gradually fizzling out. As

:26:51.:27:03.

sharp frost on Sunday night. Monday will be dry with sunshine. Some

:27:04.:27:22.

uncertainty on Tuesday. Amy and Harry are going to go into

:27:23.:27:32.

the crowds now and shake hands. It has been the most memorable week for

:27:33.:27:39.

all of us here. It will be something that we will remember for many years
