: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

: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

:11:55. > :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

: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

: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
