Good evening. The National Union of Mineworkers has told Look North it

:00:11.:00:14.

believes UK Coal's ballot on the future of Kellingley Colliery is

:00:15.:00:17.

unfair. A procession made its way through South Yorkshire today to

:00:18.:00:22.

mark the demise of the industry. The union says it's still fighting to

:00:23.:00:25.

keep pits open. James Vincent was there.

:00:26.:00:28.

It is the second time in a week people in Goldthorpe have

:00:29.:00:31.

commemorated the miners' strike. Today, an old coal board rescue

:00:32.:00:34.

wagon was backed by miners' branch banners. It is not often you see NCB

:00:35.:00:41.

and NUM together. 30 years ago we started the

:00:42.:00:45.

struggle. I am appealing to everybody to show that we've still

:00:46.:00:49.

got the fight on us to continue it to the end.

:00:50.:00:53.

Of course, from their point of view, the procession and the speech is

:00:54.:00:56.

very relevant. They are talking about the miners' strike 30 years

:00:57.:00:59.

ago. But of course, they say they are still struggling to keep mines

:01:00.:01:02.

open in Yorkshire now. Kellingley miners have a choice: work to help

:01:03.:01:08.

shut down the pits over 18 months or face it closing in a matter of

:01:09.:01:11.

weeks. They are being balloted at the moment, and the NUM is not happy

:01:12.:01:16.

with the way that vote is being carried out.

:01:17.:01:18.

The ballot at Kellingley is unfair, and it looks like they are looking

:01:19.:01:22.

for a scapegoat to try to justify causing Kellingley and Thoresby, or

:01:23.:01:24.

causing Kellingley and maybe leaving Thoresby open. They are asking us to

:01:25.:01:28.

ballot under a set of regulations that don't exist, and we wouldn't

:01:29.:01:31.

get away with it, classing people that don't vote as no votes, and not

:01:32.:01:35.

telling us what the percentage it is to actually be a valid ballot.

:01:36.:01:38.

They're talking about as high as maybe 75%.

:01:39.:01:42.

The deadline for the ballot is Tuesday, and with both sides

:01:43.:01:44.

seemingly getting further apart, saving Kellingley for future

:01:45.:01:46.

generations looks unlikely. James Vincent, BBC Look North, Goldthorpe.

:01:47.:01:56.

UK Coal has today said it's looking for a clear sign about whether the

:01:57.:01:59.

workforce is prepared to work for eighteen months and its urging them

:02:00.:02:02.

to make their voices heard. A group of Liverpool fans stopped

:02:03.:02:06.

off in Huddersfield this morning as part of their walk between

:02:07.:02:08.

Hillsborough and Anfield. They're walking 96 miles between the grounds

:02:09.:02:11.

to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. After

:02:12.:02:14.

leaving Sheffield at midnight they got to the John Smith Stadium at

:02:15.:02:17.

about eight this morning, before heading off to Oldham's ground.

:02:18.:02:23.

Sixteen people braved the cold today to take part in a baptism outside

York Minister. It's the eighth year they've held the event, during which

:02:28.:02:30.

local Christians are fully immersed in a tank of water. The Archbishop

:02:31.:02:34.

of York, Dr John Sentamu said people want to make a public commitment to

:02:35.:02:39.

their faith. Football now and there was a

:02:40.:02:42.

Yorkshire derby in the Championship. Leeds United visited struggling

:02:43.:02:45.

Barnsley. The game finished one nil to Leeds with Ross McCormack scoring

:02:46.:02:50.

in the sixteenth minute. And in the conference premier, another success

:02:51.:02:53.

for Halifax town who beat Macclesfield two one at home. One

:02:54.:02:57.

more win for them will confirm their play off place. Meanwhile Sheffield

:02:58.:03:00.

United's outside chance of reaching the League one play`offs were

:03:01.:03:03.

boosted yesterday after they beat Stevenage one nil. With a look at

:03:04.:03:07.

that and Saturdays other evening kick`offs, here's Joe Inwood.

:03:08.:03:13.

As the evening matches got underway, Donny Rovers knew the end of the

:03:14.:03:16.

season would be tight, and with that in mind, so was their opening half

:03:17.:03:20.

against Derby. Determined to keep the game level, a second away goal

:03:21.:03:23.

took the game away from them, and left Rovers just three points away

:03:24.:03:27.

from the relegation zone. Down in League One, it was better news for

:03:28.:03:32.

our sides. Bradford were looking relatively secure in mid`table, and

:03:33.:03:35.

last night's result will remove any remaining relegation fears. Just one

:03:36.:03:39.

goal, this from Adam Reach, was enough to secure three points

:03:40.:03:41.

against Peterborough. Finally, Sheffield United's slim hopes of

:03:42.:03:44.

making the play`offs were kept alive as they edged Stevenage. John

:03:45.:03:47.

Mousinho's own goal was enough for the win. It is not going to go down

:03:48.:03:56.

as one of the all`time great games, but it leaves United eight points of

:03:57.:04:00.

the play`offs, but with the game in hand. The season may be drawing to a

:04:01.:04:04.

close, but there is still plenty to play for. Joe Inwood, BBC Look

North. And you can see all the action from

the weekend's matches on BBC One tonight: The Football League Show is

:04:18.:04:23.

Hello there, good evening. Well, it's going to remain dry and fine

:04:24.:04:27.

this evening. Payable amount of cloud, but thicker cloud will arrive

:04:28.:04:31.

from the East overnight tonight, and the breeze search to pick up as

:04:32.:04:34.

well, so that's going to prevent temperatures dropping much lower

:04:35.:04:38.

than around four or five Celsius. Not as cold as last night. It does

:04:39.:04:48.

mean that Easter Sunday is going to start on a fairly cloudy note, and

:04:49.:04:52.

breezy too, and the winds will continue to strengthen. They are

:04:53.:04:55.

going to become strong and gusty from the north`east. All parts

should remain mostly dry, but there will be a fair amount of cloud

Goodbye. Happy Easter. Good evening. The temperature

:05:23.:05:23.

Highlands. Temperatures will drop this evening and overnight. A chilly

:05:24.:05:27.

night again for most of us. Sky is clear to begin with, but as the

night wears on cloud will feedback back and across central and eastern

Ireland and north-western part of England, there could be a touch of

frost here. A different look to the day across southern areas. More in

the way of cloud. Rain heading in as well along with a fresh, easterly

wind. We will see some places getting wet. It clearly the

afternoon. The heaviest rain likely to be south of the M4. Every now and
