:00:08. > :00:59.Good evening, and welcome to Friday's Look North. There hs a
:01:00. > :01:02.warning tonight that Kellingley Colliery could be shut withhn a
:01:03. > :01:06.matter of days. The National Union of Mineworkers is warning that 00
:01:07. > :01:11.jobs could go by the Easter weekend if the government fails to `pprove
:01:12. > :01:14.an emergency loan. The loan wouldn't guarantee any
:01:15. > :01:18.long`term future, but would give the pit's owners, UK Coal, vital time to
:01:19. > :01:25.look for more money. Here is Spencer Stokes.
:01:26. > :01:30.Kellingley Colliery took on nine apprentices after Christmas, along
:01:31. > :01:36.with 1400 other stuff, they could be out of work by Easter. Is claiming
:01:37. > :01:41.failure to secure a ?20 million loan early next week would see Kdllingley
:01:42. > :01:53.and full speed shut within two weeks. `` Thorsby. UK Coal will run
:01:54. > :01:58.out of money by Easter so the workers at Kellingley will be on the
:01:59. > :02:00.dole by Easter. The funding would keep the pit open until October
:02:01. > :02:09.2015. Unions feel it would create a vital
:02:10. > :02:09.window to look for more state aid. But the government says European
:02:10. > :02:23.rules prevent that. And an energy expert says if money
:02:24. > :02:28.is available, it should comd with a clear plan for the industry. An
:02:29. > :02:32.important issue is if the government can review and reduce its hhgh
:02:33. > :02:39.carbon taxes which are putthng doubt over the future of coal and the
:02:40. > :02:43.existing coal`fired power stations. It is very important that if you are
:02:44. > :02:48.looking to invest in a coal mine, you have a 10`year window to develop
:02:49. > :02:55.that mine and establish salds and markets for the future. If that
:02:56. > :03:01.Cooper visited Kellingley today accompanied by miners who rdtain
:03:02. > :03:09.some optimism `` Yvette. Thdre is still hope, there are ways `nd means
:03:10. > :03:16.that raise money to get us over the short`term problems.
:03:17. > :03:18.Their moods may change next week if finance is not forthcoming. ?20
:03:19. > :03:24.million would be the differdnce between issue down or a man`ged
:03:25. > :03:28.closure that might allow further negotiation about its futurd.
:03:29. > :03:32.So can anything be done to prevent the closure of Kellingley Colliery?
:03:33. > :03:35.Well, a little earlier, we spoke to Linda McAvan, who is a membdr of the
:03:36. > :03:38.European Parliament for Yorkshire and the Humber.
:03:39. > :03:40.She says other European countries actively support their coal industry
:03:41. > :03:49.through subsides, and the UK Government should do the sale.
:03:50. > :03:52.`` subsidies. It is clear that the government could help the coal
:03:53. > :03:59.industry and that is what the unions want. So in other European countries
:04:00. > :04:04.like Germany and Poland, thdy are subsidising their mining industries?
:04:05. > :04:09.Yes, and the Czech Republic just got an agreement to subsidise its
:04:10. > :04:14.industry. The issue is whether the government is prepared to ptt money
:04:15. > :04:17.on the table to get Kellingley Colliery through this difficult
:04:18. > :04:21.period. David Cameron said this week, you are not allowed to
:04:22. > :04:26.wilfully spend taxpayers money helping particular businessds.
:04:27. > :04:34.Governments support businesses all the time. The nuclear power industry
:04:35. > :04:40.is looking at a big subsidy from the government. Shale gas is gohng to
:04:41. > :04:45.get huge tax breaks to help it. So it is possible to support energy, it
:04:46. > :04:48.is possible to support industries, but you have to notify the Duropean
:04:49. > :04:53.Commission. That does not mdan you cannot do it, you just have to work
:04:54. > :04:58.within the rules. We are importing 40% of coal from
:04:59. > :05:04.America, Colombia, Russia, that still contains as many pollttants as
:05:05. > :05:08.the call from our own ground. Some people say it is about climate
:05:09. > :05:12.change but we are not burning cleaner energy in these firds
:05:13. > :05:19.stations, a still burning coal. `` they are still. And that relains the
:05:20. > :05:23.same until modern nuclear power stations arrive so coal is still
:05:24. > :05:28.with us. 40% of the energy we burn comes from
:05:29. > :05:32.coal but it is not our own, that is the tragedy of the industry in our
:05:33. > :05:36.region. Let's have shot and they are replaced by foreign coal, wd could
:05:37. > :05:45.have kept our own industry open `` pits. So will it stay open?
:05:46. > :05:51.If the government response openly to requests, we have to sit rotnd a
:05:52. > :05:56.table and sort out obstacles, but we should not hide. I think it is a
:05:57. > :06:02.question of political will `nd if we do not act, that is the end of the
:06:03. > :06:06.British coal industry. In tdrms of security of supply, that is a real
:06:07. > :06:10.shame. Thank you for joining us.
:06:11. > :06:12.Next tonight, police say thd late Mayor of Scarborough, Peter
:06:13. > :06:15.Jaconelli, would have been questioned about alleged chhld sex
:06:16. > :06:18.offences were he still alivd today. Mr Jaconelli, a long`time friend of
:06:19. > :06:21.the disgraced Jimmy Savile, died 15 years ago. North Yorkshire Police
:06:22. > :06:24.have reported their handling of the cases of both men to the Independent
:06:25. > :06:28.Police Complaints Commission. Our crime correspondent, John Ctndy
:06:29. > :06:33.reports. The wealthy ice cream entrepreneur
:06:34. > :06:38.and one`time map of Scarborough Peter Jaconelli was a pillar of the
:06:39. > :06:44.community for years. `` the Mayor. Revelations about Jimmy Savhle are
:06:45. > :06:49.out in the Open and it is claimed his public standing preventdd his
:06:50. > :06:53.being outed as a possible the `` it possible paedophile. In the debris,
:06:54. > :06:59.the BBC investigated Peter Jaconelli speaking to one of his alleged
:07:00. > :07:05.victims. I was 12, 13. I was walking along the seafront at
:07:06. > :07:10.Scarborough and he called md over and he said, you, you, do you want a
:07:11. > :07:18.Saturday job? I went upstairs and I sat down and he turned up, he sat
:07:19. > :07:26.next to me, he put his hand on my thigh and he said, let's sed what we
:07:27. > :07:30.can do, now. A former Scarborough residents now living in Australia
:07:31. > :07:34.same is that `` says there was never any secret about Peter Jaconelli. If
:07:35. > :07:38.the police did not know abott it, they must have been the onlx people
:07:39. > :07:44.in Scarborough! Eight add rdflection on them that they did not know ``
:07:45. > :07:47.about reflection. I do not believe that was the case.
:07:48. > :07:53.North Yorkshire Police have asked the IPCC to review how they handled
:07:54. > :07:59.the investigation is into Pdter Jaconelli and Jimmy Savile. The
:08:00. > :08:02.Chief Constable has made it clear that if Peter Jaconelli was alive
:08:03. > :08:07.today, some of the reports that have come forward would mean polhce would
:08:08. > :08:14.be taking action against hil. I want to reassure the team is now the
:08:15. > :08:18.service the police have in North Yorkshire for serious crime and
:08:19. > :08:25.sexual abuse, they are taken seriously. `` reassure victhms. The
:08:26. > :08:29.leader of the council said he would ask the council to strip Peter
:08:30. > :08:35.Jaconelli of the honorary status of aldermen he enjoyed before his
:08:36. > :08:44.death. Later, in Dewsbury, the Rams are
:08:45. > :08:49.proudly displaying the rugbx league Challenge Cup, but how long before?
:08:50. > :08:56.Wigan are the visitors tonight, join us for the hold`up.
:08:57. > :09:02.`` the build`up. An 18`year`old man who went missing in York is a
:09:03. > :09:06.soldier based in the city. Tyler Pearson has not been seen shnce he
:09:07. > :09:10.was seen going into the rivdr. The search continues as the mother of a
:09:11. > :09:16.York student who died in thd same river launches a national c`mpaign
:09:17. > :09:21.for river safety. A second day of searching the river
:09:22. > :09:30.is. Looking for the body of a serving soldier. `` Ouse. The Army
:09:31. > :09:35.say he is a bright and enthtsiastic soldier, he was seen getting into
:09:36. > :09:40.the water at 2:30am on Thursday his aim was to swim across. It seems the
:09:41. > :09:46.18`year`olds did not make it. They have covered a stretch of w`ter
:09:47. > :09:51.about 150 metres long, a slow and methodical search. Divers are
:09:52. > :09:56.satisfied it is time to movd further downstream.
:09:57. > :10:04.The divers are experiencing ten inches of visibility, so not a lot.
:10:05. > :10:08.It is not the easiest thing to do. It is the third time this ydar
:10:09. > :10:14.divers have searched the York waterways. In January, Megan Roberts
:10:15. > :10:20.stumbled in after drinking while out with friends, it took weeks to find
:10:21. > :10:24.her body. Her mother is backing a national alcohol awareness `nd river
:10:25. > :10:29.safety campaign. It is getthng harder for me emotionally bdcause I
:10:30. > :10:32.keep expecting to see her and I am never going to see her again, and
:10:33. > :10:38.that is the hardest thing to cope with. A frightening feeling, never
:10:39. > :10:44.being able to see her or to speak to her again. So I suppose getting
:10:45. > :10:48.involved with the campaign hs a good way because it is keeping hdr alive
:10:49. > :10:54.in some ways. I do not want her to be forgotten. On the date Mdgan was
:10:55. > :11:00.found, 22`year`old Ben Clarkson went missing in similar circumst`nces.
:11:01. > :11:06.His body was also around in your water. As the body signal a Pearson
:11:07. > :11:15.wait for news, and Clarkson 's family said their final goodbyes at
:11:16. > :11:18.a funeral this afternoon. `` Ben Clarkson.
:11:19. > :11:21.A Leeds man has been jailed for eight years after he was fotnd
:11:22. > :11:24.guilty of sexual offences against boys as young as four. Charles Dye
:11:25. > :11:27.preyed on seven boys between 19 9 and 1990 in Leeds, Selby and
:11:28. > :11:31.Lancashire. Police said he targeted his victims by befriending their
:11:32. > :11:34.families and baby`sitting for them. Dye, who is 53, was also made
:11:35. > :11:37.subject of a lifetime Sexual Offences Prevention Order, which
:11:38. > :11:43.means he will be monitored on his release from prison.
:11:44. > :11:46.City of York Council say thdy are considering their next move, after
:11:47. > :11:50.receiving legal advice tellhng them they can issue penalty tickdts to
:11:51. > :11:53.drivers crossing Lendal Bridge. More than 50,000 people have been fined
:11:54. > :11:57.since the bridge was partially closed to traffic seven months ago.
:11:58. > :12:00.But the government's traffic management body ruled earlidr this
:12:01. > :12:04.week that the council did not have the power to issue the enforcement
:12:05. > :12:13.notices. The man whose appe`l led to that decision says the city is now
:12:14. > :12:17.just being stubborn. They should remove the cameras. They
:12:18. > :12:24.should open them up and go back and think about it. Even speak to this
:12:25. > :12:40.adjudicator and ask him, wh`t have we done wrong? Where did it go
:12:41. > :12:44.wrong? How can they not takd advice from the legal adjudicator?
:12:45. > :12:48.Residents evacuated from fl`ts in Ossett after a mill fire max not be
:12:49. > :12:52.able to return home all weekend due to a gas leak in the building. The
:12:53. > :12:55.mill on Queen Street caught fire late last night. No`one has been
:12:56. > :12:59.hurt. Firefighters and the gas board are trying to isolate the g`s leak
:13:00. > :13:03.so the fire can be put out, but say it may take all weekend. Until the
:13:04. > :13:06.area is made safe, residents will not be able to go home and Pueen

:13:51. > :13:56.There are some brands that `ll unmistakably Yorkshire but what may
:13:57. > :14:01.surprise you is that this rdgion is responsible for 15% of all produce
:14:02. > :14:07.exported from Britain, incltding a lot of famous brands. Most people
:14:08. > :14:13.will but we never realised how many everyday products come from here in

:14:44. > :14:45.going to be a great event, great for the perception and brand of
:14:46. > :14:51.Yorkshire and people will t`lk about it for many years. And the world 's
:14:52. > :15:00.appetite for our brands is creating jobs. A new factory was opened in
:15:01. > :15:03.Leeds today, creating 15 more posts. To the strategy of new prodtct

:15:30. > :15:35.there are several ideas to hncrease that further, not just prodtce.
:15:36. > :15:40.Yorkshire is a brand, some companies are doing well with that and we will
:15:41. > :15:45.encourage more to put a union Jack or a white rose on their products so

:19:00. > :19:03.Smith is hoping to repeat l`st year's success at tomorrow's Grand
:19:04. > :19:11.National. Auroras Encore was a shock 66 to one winner. He was tr`ined by
:19:12. > :19:14.Sue at her stables on Baildon Moor. She has got two horses compdting
:19:15. > :19:17.tomorrow, Vintage Star and Lr Moonshine, who will be ridddn by
:19:18. > :19:20.last year's winning jockey, Ryan Mania.
:19:21. > :19:28.He has jumped round the Grand National best year and he w`s placed
:19:29. > :19:34.this season. A smashing horse, he is a proven jumper round the track
:19:35. > :19:41.Some people say he does not stay but hopefully he is fitted this year. We
:19:42. > :19:43.are hoping he runs a big race. `` fitter.
:19:44. > :19:47.Carrying the hopes of North Yorkshire is another outsiddr, Rose
:19:48. > :19:50.of the Moon. For him and his jockey, it will be their first experience of
:19:51. > :19:54.the famous Grand National. Phil Connell has been to their training
:19:55. > :19:55.base near Helmsley to see the final preparations.
:19:56. > :20:00.It is arguably the biggest horse race of the year and it will be the
:20:01. > :20:04.biggest race of his life for Rose of the Moon. Tomorrow, the hopds of
:20:05. > :20:10.North Yorkshire will rest on his shoulders. According to his Helmsley
:20:11. > :20:17.`based trainer, his perform`nce tomorrow may depend on his lood
:20:18. > :20:20.He can be a bit moody. His runs sometimes reflect that. He can be
:20:21. > :20:27.good and get out of bed the wrong side. If he jumps like that on
:20:28. > :20:30.Saturday, he will be all right. Preparation has been carefully
:20:31. > :20:36.planned. This final jumping session taking place earlier this wdek. The
:20:37. > :20:43.fences are smaller and what he will face tomorrow. From this angle, it
:20:44. > :20:48.is sufficient to keep him focused. When you say you are a jockdy,
:20:49. > :20:59.people ask if you have ridddn in the Grand National. After Saturday, I
:21:00. > :21:05.can say yes. He did very well. He is ready. The Grand National is a race
:21:06. > :21:13.with well`known dangers. Recently, the fences have been modifidd and
:21:14. > :21:17.made safer. In the yard, thd race on Saturday is seen as a calculated
:21:18. > :21:21.risk. Rose of the Moon could not have been prepared better and on
:21:22. > :21:27.Saturday, it will be Kirsty 's job to have him ready for the bhggest
:21:28. > :21:32.race of his life. Everybody works for this race all year so it is
:21:33. > :21:37.great to be part of it this year. We will all be nervous and exchted so
:21:38. > :21:45.hopefully he will go out and do his best. The bookies have him `t 3 `1
:21:46. > :21:51.but is it roofing jump, `` ` proven jumper, e`mail `` he may well be
:21:52. > :21:59.worth an outside bet. I always like a grey.
:22:00. > :22:02.Have you got insider knowledge? I have no knowledge. You have to be
:22:03. > :22:07.lucky at the Grand National. There are so many horses, btt a nice
:22:08. > :22:11.grey horse. Now, if you are looking for
:22:12. > :22:14.somewhere to go at the weekdnd, then a new exhibition has opened at
:22:15. > :22:17.Chatsworth House, to tie in with the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of
:22:18. > :22:20.the First World War. Well, they have dug into thdir
