:00:08. > :00:15.The police are investigating a charity

:00:16. > :00:20.visitor numbers plummet at Bradford's National Media Museum

:00:21. > :00:24.but the National Railway Museum in York is thriving.

:00:25. > :00:26.And newborn tiger cubs make their first foray

:00:27. > :00:41.It has been another beautiful day but a breakdown in the weather is on

:00:42. > :00:51.the way. Some heavy and thundery rain denied. `` tonight.

:00:52. > :00:55.Five men have been arrested in Yorkshire by anti`terror police

:00:56. > :00:58.investigating suspected fraud by a charity which gives aid to Syria.

:00:59. > :01:03.They're in Pellon and King Cross in Halifax,

:01:04. > :01:06.Savile Town in Dewsbury and Heeley in Sheffield.

:01:07. > :01:14.Our Crime Correspondent, John Cundy, is in Dewsbury now.

:01:15. > :01:22.What can you tell us about what has been happening today? At 7am today,

:01:23. > :01:29.several officers from the counterterrorism unit moved in on

:01:30. > :01:36.these addresses. First of all in Dewsbury, which you can see behind

:01:37. > :01:40.me. Two men were arrested. In Halifax, two more men were arrested,

:01:41. > :01:46.aged 32 and 53 and then in Sheffield, one man aged 38 was

:01:47. > :01:50.arrested. During the day, six houses, including the homes of these

:01:51. > :01:57.men pass a shop in Dewsbury have been the subject of searches by the

:01:58. > :02:05.counterterrorism unit. What were the police investigating? They call it

:02:06. > :02:08.suspicion of fraud by false presentation. What they mean is they

:02:09. > :02:12.are trying to work out whether this charity that the money has been

:02:13. > :02:17.going to is a genuine one, sending legal aid to Syria or whether it is

:02:18. > :02:23.siphoning funds or terrorism purposes or whether it is just a

:02:24. > :02:28.straight criminal investigation. I spoke to a unity leader earlier and

:02:29. > :02:32.he made clear to me that the police have been warning their people for

:02:33. > :02:38.some time about the dangers of fraud eight charities. The police thought

:02:39. > :02:47.they would be a problem, there had been information in the media. What

:02:48. > :02:50.were they saying to you? The message was, be aware of who you are giving

:02:51. > :02:56.your money too. It might be going to the wrong place. The ride lots of

:02:57. > :03:01.fundraising charities for Syria. What is the advice?

:03:02. > :03:06.It is very straightforward. If you are in any doubt at all, you go and

:03:07. > :03:11.speak to the Charity Commission and they gave us some further advice

:03:12. > :03:14.this afternoon. The key message at the moment is that there are

:03:15. > :03:19.significant risks in Syria. It is harder to verify how funds are being

:03:20. > :03:25.used, it is harder for charities to check up to ensure the delivery of

:03:26. > :03:29.their work is being undertaken. We remind people of their duty to

:03:30. > :03:34.ensure their money gets to charitable causes. All day today,

:03:35. > :03:39.these six men have been questioned across West and South Yorkshire. It

:03:40. > :03:40.is a long enquiry and they expect these men will be released on police

:03:41. > :03:48.bail during the evening. Tonight, almost a year

:03:49. > :03:50.after the future of Bradford's National Media Museum

:03:51. > :03:52.was thrown in to doubt, latest figures show

:03:53. > :03:54.visitors to the attraction are the lowest they've been

:03:55. > :03:57.for at least a decade. From a peak of more than 737,000

:03:58. > :04:00.in 2008, they dropped by almost 250,000

:04:01. > :04:03.in the last financial year ` In York, though, the National

:04:04. > :04:08.Railway Museum has seen visitor numbers increase by more than

:04:09. > :04:11.a quarter in the same period. 923,000 people passed through

:04:12. > :04:14.its doors in the past year. So what makes one Yorkshire

:04:15. > :04:16.museum so successful and the other struggle to keep up

:04:17. > :04:30.the numbers? They are jewels in Yorkshire's

:04:31. > :04:34.cultural crown. One museum is thriving, the other is struggling.

:04:35. > :04:42.Last year, at the National Media Museum, it was at the centre of a

:04:43. > :04:46.campaign to keep it open. Numbers are falling and there are fresh

:04:47. > :04:50.concerns about its future. Meanwhile, the National Railway

:04:51. > :04:56.Museum here in Europe has seen its best visitor numbers for 20 years

:04:57. > :05:01.was why the contrast in fortunes? York is a city with a high`profile

:05:02. > :05:05.in terms of attracting visitors. It has a museum next to the row

:05:06. > :05:11.waystation, which is convenient for the railway museum. The National

:05:12. > :05:16.Media Museum is close to the city centre but that is not where the

:05:17. > :05:18.visitors are. The park will have hundreds if not thousands of people

:05:19. > :05:22.enjoying themselves there. Those people will not then want to cross

:05:23. > :05:30.two different roads to get to the museum and go indoors. The National

:05:31. > :05:34.Media Museum says it has a long`term plan to develop the attraction and a

:05:35. > :05:39.decline in visitors is easy to explain. When you look at the number

:05:40. > :05:42.of people coming to our exhibitions, we are up 8% on last year and that

:05:43. > :05:49.is the highest figure since 2008 and 2009. Families and adults coming to

:05:50. > :05:57.our galleries on increase. The decrease is in attendance to our

:05:58. > :06:03.cinema operation. Is there anything Bradford can learn from York was

:06:04. > :06:09.macro experience. I would not like to tell my colleagues what to do.

:06:10. > :06:15.Sometimes you just hit on the right thing that captures the public's

:06:16. > :06:22.imagination. The sky is the limit after that. They run no attractions

:06:23. > :06:27.for little kids. That is why not many families go. Technology is a

:06:28. > :06:35.big thing. Technology is growing fast and kids are so smart nowadays.

:06:36. > :06:41.If there were more for things to go to, but now there is nothing for

:06:42. > :06:46.them. Those are some of the problems. Bradford needs to find

:06:47. > :07:02.solutions if it is to stimulate your's success. `` York's successful

:07:08. > :07:09.place at a school yards away from their home.

:07:10. > :07:13.The television presenter Gabby Logan has vowed to pay back any money she

:07:14. > :07:16.owes after it emerged she was part of the same tax avoidance scheme

:07:17. > :07:19.The sports presenter, who's from Leeds

:07:20. > :07:21.and is the Chancellor of Leeds Trinity University,

:07:22. > :07:23.invested thousands of pounds into a company

:07:24. > :07:25.which said it supported young musicians.

:07:26. > :07:28.A court recently ruled that it was understood by all concerned

:07:29. > :07:31.She said she'd invested in good faith

:07:32. > :07:35.Police say they've finished searching a house in York

:07:36. > :07:38.in connection with the disappearance of Claudia Lawrence.

:07:39. > :07:41.Forensic officers have been at the property in the Burnholme area

:07:45. > :07:49.A cordon around the house was lifted today,

:07:50. > :07:55.but detectives say their investigation is continuing.

:08:00. > :08:02.The region will decide which parties will take six seats

:08:03. > :08:06.Voting will also take place to elect councillors for the five

:08:07. > :08:08.West Yorkshire and four South Yorkshire district councils.

:08:09. > :08:10.In North Yorkshire, elections are only taking place

:08:11. > :08:22.in the Harrogate and Craven districts.

:08:23. > :08:26.two prisoners who at the net from prison are still on the run. They

:08:27. > :08:30.left the prison on Monday night. Burns was serving a sentence

:08:31. > :08:33.for robbery at knife point and Jackson was on remand

:08:34. > :08:35.awaiting sentencing for theft. Detectives believe the men

:08:36. > :08:37.are trying to go home and are warning people

:08:38. > :08:40.not to approach them. A high court judgement which will

:08:41. > :08:42.influence whether Richard III's remains will be buried in

:08:43. > :08:46.York or Leicester is due on Friday. His bones were discovered

:08:47. > :08:48.under a council car park Archaeologists who found them think

:08:49. > :08:52.they should be reburied as close as possible to the site of the dig,

:08:53. > :08:56.which is Leicester Cathedral. say they believe he wanted to be

:08:57. > :09:00.buried in York. Two First World War aircraft

:09:01. > :09:03.have been turning heads The Eastchurch Kitten,

:09:04. > :09:07.dating from 1917, still operates and its engine was running

:09:08. > :09:11.on the Headrow this morning. A larger BE2

:09:12. > :09:14.that was built in Leeds Both aircraft were loaned

:09:15. > :09:19.by the Yorkshire Air Museum as part of commemorations to mark a century

:09:20. > :09:33.since the outbreak of the war. You wonder how rave these guys were

:09:34. > :09:36.to climb into their flimsy aircraft and take part in a battle, without a

:09:37. > :09:41.parachute. They were very vulnerable. Very brave. We owed them

:09:42. > :09:45.a big debt. Harrogate has been crowned

:09:46. > :09:47.as the happiest place to live in Britain for the second year

:09:48. > :09:51.running in a report which asked people how contented they are with

:09:52. > :09:54.their home and local community. The beautiful spa town scored

:09:55. > :09:57.top in a survey by a property website for safety, its sense

:09:58. > :10:00.of neighbourliness and recreation. Hull in the only other place

:10:01. > :10:02.in Yorkshire The jury at the inquests

:10:03. > :10:09.of the 96 Liverpool fans who died in the Hillsborough Disaster have

:10:10. > :10:15.been seeing footage of the moments The video, some of which has never

:10:16. > :10:20.been broadcast before, Just take us through

:10:21. > :10:39.what's been shown today. The story of Hillsborough was shown

:10:40. > :10:43.to the jury today from the dozens of cameras placed around Hillsborough.

:10:44. > :10:48.We were told that South Yorkshire release had CCTV cameras. The

:10:49. > :10:55.football club itself also had cameras and the BBC had ten cameras

:10:56. > :11:00.that that day. The first pieces of footage they were shown was

:11:01. > :11:03.Liverpool fans walking to the ground. It was a sunny day, they had

:11:04. > :11:11.no idea as to what was going to happen just minutes later. We then

:11:12. > :11:16.saw CCTV outside the stadium, alongside the perimeter fence. We

:11:17. > :11:23.saw this fence open, one fan is injected from the ground and around

:11:24. > :11:33.50 fans coming. Data, gate seat is open, this time 2000 Liverpool fans

:11:34. > :11:36.still into the paddock before making their way into the terrace below.

:11:37. > :11:42.They could have gone three ways, through a central tunnel or left or

:11:43. > :11:47.right. Those thousands of fans went straight down the tunnel. The jury

:11:48. > :11:54.was then show the distressing scenes of what happened before and during

:11:55. > :11:58.the match. We could see fans being lifted out onto the terrace above.

:11:59. > :12:03.You could see police officers trying to get people out of the stand and

:12:04. > :12:09.we could also see people getting advertising hoardings and trying to

:12:10. > :12:14.help the other fans. It was explicit and detailed but the idea behind

:12:15. > :12:18.this was to show the jury what happened on the 15th of April Minety

:12:19. > :12:22.and 89. To give them some sense of what happened inside the stadium.

:12:23. > :12:29.How did the families cope with these new images? It must have been

:12:30. > :12:33.difficult. Yes, a distressing time for all of the families. We were

:12:34. > :12:37.told that the families have worked with the police to examine this

:12:38. > :12:42.footage, to try to pinpoint their loved ones who died at Hillsborough.

:12:43. > :12:47.Before the footage was shown, the coroner addressed the families,

:12:48. > :12:50.saying that if any of them found it to distressing, they could leave.

:12:51. > :12:54.Not one member left the courtroom today. Thank you.

:12:55. > :12:57.A mother from Brighouse says she's considering taking legal action

:12:58. > :13:00.against Calderdale Council after her daughter was turned down for a place

:13:01. > :13:04.Chloe Turner wanted to send daughter Ellie

:13:05. > :13:07.to Woodhouse Primary School, which is 200 yards away from their home.

:13:08. > :13:10.But a mix up over the family's address means Ellie

:13:11. > :13:13.has only been offered a place on the other side of the town.

:13:14. > :13:26.I am going to show you where the school is! Little Elliot Turner is

:13:27. > :13:32.due to start school in September and today took Chloe and me along a

:13:33. > :13:39.short walk to where she would like to go. Is this way you would like to

:13:40. > :13:43.go? But Ellie will not be going here. Confusion over where she lives

:13:44. > :13:48.means Calderdale Council have decided she should go to a different

:13:49. > :13:54.school. A map shows Ellie's home and the school close by. Her second

:13:55. > :14:00.choice was turned down as well. The council says she was have to go to

:14:01. > :14:05.an infant school, meaning that Chloe faces a stressful drive through rush

:14:06. > :14:10.hour traffic rather than a short walk. We are a few hundred yards

:14:11. > :14:13.from the school and it has been all over the news how they want people

:14:14. > :14:19.to walk to school. White cannot children who live so close to the

:14:20. > :14:23.school go to that school? They have lived in this home for the last

:14:24. > :14:31.three years but the council had the wrong address. Chloe was asked to

:14:32. > :14:39.produce proof that they had moved but it was too late. What we have to

:14:40. > :14:42.make sure happens is that we do not disadvantage other families. If the

:14:43. > :14:50.school in question was not full, they would `` there would be no

:14:51. > :14:54.issue. At those places have been allocated to families and would be

:14:55. > :14:58.unfair to any of those families if they were to lose a place as a

:14:59. > :15:03.result of this issue. I am prepared to take this as far as it needs to

:15:04. > :15:07.go for her to get into that school. I will take it to court if

:15:08. > :15:11.necessary. Calderdale Council says the family has the right to appeal

:15:12. > :15:13.against the decision and says if a place at the preferred school

:15:14. > :15:15.becomes available, they will be considered.

:15:16. > :15:18.As we live longer, the number of people being diagnosed

:15:19. > :15:20.with Alzheimer's and dementia is increasing.

:15:21. > :15:22.The illness is often stigmatised ` researchers say this is

:15:23. > :15:27.particularly true amongst members of black and minority ethnic groups.

:15:28. > :15:30.Graham Satchell has been to Bradford, to see how one community

:15:31. > :15:39.there is trying to break down the barriers surrounding a diagnosis.

:15:40. > :16:02.A Sikh Temple in Bradford. In minority groups, there is a huge

:16:03. > :16:10.stigma attached to dementia and Alzheimer's. There is no word for

:16:11. > :16:19.dementia in Punjabi, the closest word is madness. Most people with

:16:20. > :16:22.dementia are older people. A session run in the Alzheimer's Society.

:16:23. > :16:27.Doctor Gray well has been instrumental here, trying to be

:16:28. > :16:33.mystified dementia and explaining there is expert help and support

:16:34. > :16:40.available. Our problem is that people do not feel comfortable

:16:41. > :16:46.accessing that support, so we need to bridge that gap. Getting that

:16:47. > :16:54.support is critical. It is a painful to see someone you love leave you

:16:55. > :17:00.bit by bit. It is bewildering and scary and it is very reassuring to

:17:01. > :17:11.find there are people that are going through it and that understand how

:17:12. > :17:15.difficult it is. Back at the temple, we met one lady whose grandfather

:17:16. > :17:22.was diagnosed with amateur 12 years ago. At times, the reaction to his

:17:23. > :17:30.behaviour was difficult. Did you feel uncovered bull if you out with

:17:31. > :17:35.him? Yes, very uncomfortable. Would people say nasty things to you? They

:17:36. > :17:46.would say you had gone mad. What can you say to that? You just wanted to

:17:47. > :17:59.hide some times. This is the first temple to become dementia friendly.

:18:00. > :18:05.Just like old times ` as Yorkshire's season builds up to

:18:06. > :18:06.their 2020 campaign, we go down memory lane

:18:07. > :18:17.to harrogate. to harrogate.

:18:18. > :18:19.And why these little fellas at Flamingo Land have single`handedly

:18:20. > :18:29.boosted the world population levels of Sumatran tigers by 1%.

:18:30. > :18:34.Yet more twists and turns in the Leeds United saga, Paul.

:18:35. > :18:41.Harrogate it is like a soap opera. Today's story is strictly speaking

:18:42. > :18:43.about someone who used to be part of Leeds United.

:18:44. > :18:46.The former Leeds United managing director David Haigh has been

:18:47. > :18:49.arrested in Dubai, after the former owners of the club accused him

:18:50. > :18:52.GFH, a private investment group, claim the alleged wrongdoing

:18:53. > :18:57.is connected with their ownership and recent sale of

:18:58. > :19:02.Mr Haigh was employed by GFH but resigned earlier this year.

:19:03. > :19:04.He has spent the past three nights in custody

:19:05. > :19:07.on the strength of the allegations, which he strenuously denies.

:19:08. > :19:10.Leeds boxer Josh Warrington will have home advantage tonight

:19:11. > :19:13.as he seeks to add the British featherweight title to

:19:14. > :19:19.At yesterday's weigh in at Leeds City Museum,

:19:20. > :19:23.he came face`to`face with opponent Martin Lindsay from Belfast.

:19:24. > :19:25.They'll fight for the vacant British title

:19:26. > :19:34.and Warrington's Commonwealth belt at the Leeds First Direct Arena.

:19:35. > :19:41.In the last fight at Manchester Arena, that gave me a taste of what

:19:42. > :19:49.it is like to fight at such a big arena. Now it is on home soil, it is

:19:50. > :19:50.a massive incentive, a massive push. It makes me very motivated, so I

:19:51. > :19:52.cannot wait. Golf news now

:19:53. > :19:54.and Sheffield's Matt Fitzpatrick will turn professional

:19:55. > :19:57.after next month's US Open. The 19`year`old rose to

:19:58. > :19:59.stardom last summer finishing He followed that up

:20:00. > :20:07.by becoming the first Englishmen in over 100 years to win

:20:08. > :20:10.the US amateur championship. His professional career

:20:11. > :20:12.will start at the Irish Open Our Olympic heroine,

:20:13. > :20:15.Jessica Ennis`Hill, says she's in good health

:20:16. > :20:17.and enjoying her pregnancy. Jess is taking time out of

:20:18. > :20:20.athletics to have her first baby. Today, she posed

:20:21. > :20:23.for cameras to promote Jess won Olympic gold

:20:24. > :20:28.in the heptathlon at London 2012 and still plans to defend

:20:29. > :20:42.her Olympic title in 2016. I want to make sure I spend as much

:20:43. > :20:46.time with my baby once they are here and enjoy that whole experience.

:20:47. > :20:49.Then I will delve back into training and I have a fantastic team and a

:20:50. > :20:50.great coach and they are all supporting me and hopefully we will

:20:51. > :21:08.get to reopen. `` Rio de Janeiro. Not so very long ago, the Harrogate

:21:09. > :21:12.cricket festival was a staple diet But last night the candle flickered

:21:13. > :21:20.again with Yorkshire taking on There was another side

:21:21. > :21:26.to the match as well, raising funds for the Heart foundation

:21:27. > :21:29.as well as providing Yorkshire with vital practice ahead

:21:30. > :21:41.of the Twenty20 matches. There is no such thing as a friendly

:21:42. > :21:45.game of cricket for Jason Gillespie. Yorkshire's inspirational coach

:21:46. > :21:51.takes every match seriously. The Harrogate club have afforded us the

:21:52. > :21:56.opportunity to come here and prepare for our competition. It is great

:21:57. > :22:00.that so many people have turned up. We are taking it seriously. It is

:22:01. > :22:05.great preparation. Yorkshire need to prepare for the campaign but the

:22:06. > :22:09.season so far is going well. You could not ask for a better start.

:22:10. > :22:15.Last week did not go quite as planned but that is why we are here

:22:16. > :22:21.with a practice match. Their president, wearing a fashion

:22:22. > :22:29.statement am a is loving it. I think I've got a new lease of life! I am

:22:30. > :22:33.really enjoying it. I'd tell you, the way we are playing, I think we

:22:34. > :22:39.will win the championship. I know it is early days but I think we will.

:22:40. > :22:46.Behind last night's match, a good cause, they were playing for the

:22:47. > :22:51.British Heart Foundation. It is the most wonderful charity. There are

:22:52. > :22:56.more deaths through heart disease than cancer. 22,000 Yorkshire folk

:22:57. > :23:02.currently have heart disease. So the more work we put into raising money

:23:03. > :23:08.for research and for nurses and so forth, the better it is for the

:23:09. > :23:12.whole of Yorkshire. A victory for Yorkshire but it was great to see

:23:13. > :23:15.Harrogate back on the county stage again, like it used to be.

:23:16. > :23:18.A hard day's work for you. Three rare, new arrivals have been

:23:19. > :23:21.shown off to the outside world The Sumatran Tiger Cubs `

:23:22. > :23:26.two girls and a boy ` were born at Flamingo Land

:23:27. > :23:31.near Malton in March. Until now, they've been

:23:32. > :23:36.kept inside with their mother, but were finally released

:23:37. > :23:39.into their outdoor enclosure today. We must warn you,

:23:40. > :23:49.these pictures are very, very cute. Film just a few days after they were

:23:50. > :23:57.born, here are the three Sumatran tiger cubs that have been

:23:58. > :24:01.successfully bred. The importance of their rival cannot be

:24:02. > :24:06.underestimated. They are one of the rarest animals on the planet, they

:24:07. > :24:11.are rarer than giant pandas. There are only around 400, maybe as few as

:24:12. > :24:14.600 left in the wild. They are critically endangered and that is

:24:15. > :24:19.one step away from extinction. The weather was just right for the Cubs

:24:20. > :24:25.to be let out into the open air for the first time. They were being

:24:26. > :24:34.looked after by their mother, who seemed happy to bathe in the

:24:35. > :24:38.sunshine. After a couple of hours, our patience was rewarded with a

:24:39. > :24:45.wonderful display of playfulness and affection. The new arrivals quickly

:24:46. > :24:50.becoming a hit with visitors. We saw them playing and they were having

:24:51. > :24:56.lots of fun. It looks really cute. I want to take them home! It is hoped

:24:57. > :25:01.this small but significant boost to the well's population of Sumatran

:25:02. > :25:16.tigers is the start of many more to come.

:25:17. > :25:25.You cannot get much cuter than that. Beat that!

:25:26. > :25:36.You have been, vomiting every man in the office as afternoon. Do you want

:25:37. > :25:42.to run last night's joke? Comedy is part of the moment! I cannot repeat

:25:43. > :25:47.it! Now for your pictures.

:25:48. > :25:58.Keep those coming in. We have had 20 Celsius this afternoon but things

:25:59. > :26:03.will go downhill quickly. We have a warning across parts of our region

:26:04. > :26:08.for heavy rain. Tomorrow, that will be with us at first. It will ease

:26:09. > :26:14.with the weather brightening. A very unsettled setup for Thursday and

:26:15. > :26:18.into the weekend. You can see trouble has been brewing across

:26:19. > :26:22.France this afternoon. The rain is into East Anglia but that means the

:26:23. > :26:31.evening will be fine and warm and then you will see the rain first

:26:32. > :26:35.into the Midlands around midnight. Some torrential bursts, some claps

:26:36. > :26:40.of thunder and they could be some local flooding in one or two spots.

:26:41. > :26:50.Temperatures are ten or 11 Celsius. The sun rises at 4:54am. A very wet

:26:51. > :26:56.commute first thing tomorrow. Some surface spray and hill fog as well.

:26:57. > :26:59.That rain eases away north westwards and into the afternoon, skies will

:27:00. > :27:03.brighten but where the sun pops out, there is the risk of a scattering of

:27:04. > :27:08.thundery showers. A slow improvement is expected through the day. Let us

:27:09. > :27:13.look at the top temperatures. They come in at around 14 Celsius in

:27:14. > :27:18.Scarborough. 16 in Leeds. A view degrees down on where we have been

:27:19. > :27:21.today. Friday, scattered showers but settling down for bank holiday

:27:22. > :27:29.Monday. Thank you so much.

:27:30. > :27:32.That leads us on nicely to tomorrow because for all of you train us out

:27:33. > :27:36.there, we will be bringing you news of a new project to bring a

:27:37. > :27:45.Doncaster`designed steam train back to life. It is being built from

:27:46. > :27:47.scratch. That is as far as we go. tune in tomorrow and we will give

:27:48. > :27:55.you the details. that is to find that one item

:27:56. > :28:00.that's going to change their life. Flames are beautiful. Made

:28:01. > :28:05.nice money, that did. Nice money. ?200,000?

:28:06. > :28:08.HE LAUGHS
