:00:16. > :00:18.Good evening from Look North: A former school governor has denied
:00:19. > :00:20.newspaper claims that he's trying to introduce hardline Muslim principles
:00:21. > :00:24.into some of Bradford's schools. Faisal Khan was sacked as a governor
:00:25. > :00:27.at Laisterdyke College, along with the rest of the board, last month.
:00:28. > :00:30.It comes as investigations continue into reports a number of schools in
:00:31. > :00:34.Birmingham have been taken over by extremists. With more, here's Dave
:00:35. > :00:43.Edwards. Could the so called Trojan Horse be
:00:44. > :00:47.on its way toll Yorkshire? `` to Yorkshire? Claims of a plot to
:00:48. > :00:50.infiltrate schools and run them with hardline Muslim principles are being
:00:51. > :00:53.investigated in Birmingham. Today it's reported a man from Bradford is
:00:54. > :00:58.trying to do the same thing here. That is totally untrue. What I'm
:00:59. > :01:01.interested in, is raising standards. This is Laisterdyke College, a
:01:02. > :01:07.secondary school in Bradford with about 1,000 students and a large
:01:08. > :01:13.Muslim population. It was here that the entire board of governors was
:01:14. > :01:16.sacked last month. One of those governor was Faisal Khan but he says
:01:17. > :01:19.all they were doing was holding staff to account and Muslim
:01:20. > :01:24.governors are being targeted unfairly. The message is, if you are
:01:25. > :01:33.a Muslim you are not welcome on the governing body. I think it sends out
:01:34. > :01:35.a poor message. Having spoken to governors out there, already
:01:36. > :01:39.governors are saying what is the point being on a governing body
:01:40. > :01:43.because if we follow the rules we are still subject to this kind of
:01:44. > :01:47.harassment and behaviour. Local MP David Ward says there is a problem
:01:48. > :01:51.with some people pursuing an Islamic agenda within schools but only a
:01:52. > :02:00.small minority. There is clearly a view that they would like the
:02:01. > :02:04.schools to be more faith schools. I don't think that is a wide spread
:02:05. > :02:08.view and I think it is one, really, that the public at large, the Muslim
:02:09. > :02:11.community, as a whole, are not in favour of. Laisterdyke College says
:02:12. > :02:13.Ofsted identified an urgent need for improvements in governance and
:02:14. > :02:19.that's why the governors were sacked. Faisal Khan is calling for
:02:20. > :02:22.an investigation. Prayers have been held across West
:02:23. > :02:27.Yorkshire for the teacher who was killed at a school in Leeds on
:02:28. > :02:30.Monday. The Catholic diocese of Leeds wrote to about 90 churches
:02:31. > :02:33.asking them to hold the special prayers during mass. Ann Maguire
:02:34. > :02:39.died from multiple stab wounds. A 15`year`old boy is in custody
:02:40. > :02:42.charged with her murder. A 36`year`old man's been arrested
:02:43. > :02:45.following a high`profile incident at Rotherham Town Hall yesterday. The
:02:46. > :02:49.building was sealed off by police for most of the day, after reports a
:02:50. > :02:52.man with a hammer had barricaded himself inside. After almost ten
:02:53. > :02:55.hours of negotiations, the man eventually left by his own accord at
:02:56. > :03:03.around 7.30pm. He's being questioned on suspicion of burglary.
:03:04. > :03:06.Yorkshire Water say they'll appeal a decision not to let them rebuild an
:03:07. > :03:09.historic reservoir spillway near Marsden. The company was refused
:03:10. > :03:13.planning permission to carry out building work on the Butterley
:03:14. > :03:15.spillway in January. Campaigners had argued that proposals to replace
:03:16. > :03:20.stonework with concrete would destroy the Victorian structure. But
:03:21. > :03:27.Yorkshire Water says its changes are needed for safety reasons.
:03:28. > :03:31.On to football and FC Halifax Town have failed in their bid to get into
:03:32. > :03:34.the Football League. Around 500 fans of the Shaymen travelled to
:03:35. > :03:37.Cambridge hoping their team could make the Skrill Premier play`off
:03:38. > :03:44.final at Wembley. But they lost 2`0 in the second leg tie for an
:03:45. > :03:47.aggregate defeat of 2`1. Let's hope we can build on from
:03:48. > :03:51.this. We have had a fantastic season. We never expected this. We
:03:52. > :03:57.are really happy to get this far. I thought today we played fantastic
:03:58. > :04:01.but it wasn't to be. There is nowt we can do about it. If we have lost
:04:02. > :04:07.we have lost. We are all proud of them. My players kept going and
:04:08. > :04:11.pushed up until the 96th minute and didn't give up. That has been a
:04:12. > :04:19.trademark of this season and what I would expect for a team representing
:04:20. > :04:21.Halifax. Newly`crowned League Two champions Chesterfield will
:04:22. > :04:26.celebrate with a victory parade through the town. There were
:04:27. > :04:29.jubilant scenes on the pitch yesterday after the Spireites beat
:04:30. > :04:32.Fleetwood 2`1. The players will arrive at Chesterfield Town Hall at
:04:33. > :04:35.6.30 on 12th May, followed by a civic reception.
:04:36. > :04:39.Look at this, unbelievable. Unbelievable. At bit nervy towards
:04:40. > :04:43.the start of the game. We pulled through. We are a very good team, as
:04:44. > :04:48.you can see. We have come from behind. Confidence is massive and we
:04:49. > :04:52.have come back and won the league. Cricket now and Yorkshire have made
:04:53. > :04:55.299`3 in the first innings of their County Championship match at Durham.
:04:56. > :05:01.The Tykes won the toss. Adam Lyth made a century and Kane Williamson
:05:02. > :05:07.was out for 97. Now let's see what the weather has in store. Any more
:05:08. > :05:10.sunshine? #12k3w4r disappointingly cloudy today. I'm hopeful it will be
:05:11. > :05:14.brighter tomorrow through the morning. It will also be the warmest
:05:15. > :05:20.day of the bank holiday weekend. Dry out there at the moment. We will see
:05:21. > :05:25.the cloud break, clear spells from the south. Dry and fine for the rest
:05:26. > :05:28.of the night. A light breeze and temperatures back to 7 or 8.
:05:29. > :05:32.Tomorrow the best of the sunshine will be through the morning. Then we
:05:33. > :05:35.will see the sunshine turning hazy by midday. Through the afternoon
:05:36. > :05:39.thicker cloud spreading from the west. By the end of tomorrow,
:05:40. > :05:42.probably fairly overcast but the rain will stay to the west of us
:05:43. > :05:50.until tomorrow evening. It will be the warmest day. Temperatures
:05:51. > :05:54.getting up to around 17 `` 16 or 17. The rest of the week, sunshine and
:05:55. > :05:56.showers. Temperatures about average. Breezy and frost`free. Have a lovely
:05:57. > :06:13.evening, goodbye . Good evening. Today we have had the
:06:14. > :06:16.sunniest skies in the South whereas in the north it has been quite
:06:17. > :06:22.cloudy. Tomorrow, we switch things around. In the east we will have
:06:23. > :06:27.warm, hazy sunshine. In the west we will have the biggest cloud.
:06:28. > :06:30.Tonight, there will be some rain across parts of Scotland. The rain
:06:31. > :06:35.easing across Northern Ireland. For many will be a dry night. For many
:06:36. > :06:44.across the south it will be cold. Maybe not quite as cold as last
:06:45. > :06:47.night. We should start with quite a bit of sunshine across central and
:06:48. > :06:53.eastern areas. The sunshine will turn quite hazy of the cloud spills
:06:54. > :06:59.in from the west. The wind is also starting to pick up and we will see
:07:00. > :07:01.rain. For Northern Ireland, the rain spreading across a good part
