will keep an eye on that. That is all from us, I will be back

:00:00.:00:00.

It's the home of the biggest cycling club in the country

:00:00.:00:10.

and tonight the build up to the Tour de France really begins.

:00:11.:00:24.

Take a look at these, the Eiffel tire and a strange location. And

:00:25.:00:30.

yellow jerseys popping up all over the place. And we will be chatting

:00:31.:00:36.

to Lizzie Armitstead later on. I will have a detailed weather

:00:37.:00:38.

forecast later on. Protests in Leeds

:00:39.:00:41.

as a judge rules an asylum seeker If they put my son on that thing

:00:42.:00:56.

tomorrow, if anything happens to him, I will never stop fighting the

UK border agency. Ed Miliband comes to Yorkshire to

:01:00.:01:00.

unveil a multi`billion`pound plan. But will it give

:01:01.:01:03.

our big cities more power and return And two of Yorkshire's biggest

:01:04.:01:06.

hospitals are warned they must We could be in France tonight. Apart

:01:07.:01:36.

from that lot, the flat caps tend to give it away. Ilkley is twinned with

:01:37.:01:43.

a turn in Normandy and there is a real French feel to the whole

:01:44.:01:47.

occasion, when you look at what has been going on here. But it is not

:01:48.:01:52.

just Ilkley, it is many other parts of the county, have got themselves

:01:53.:02:00.

ready for the Tour. The camping and caravanning club

:02:01.:02:03.

have arrived. They have got their spots in the not `` the village of

:02:04.:02:09.

Ripley with four days to go until the Tour de France begins. This

:02:10.:02:15.

couple have seen of your that roar futures over the year and have

:02:16.:02:21.

travelled from Weymouth. Lovely spot here on the roadside. They will

:02:22.:02:26.

whizz through rather quickly but we have seen it before, so we do know

:02:27.:02:33.

what happens. It is just exciting. Just over the road, a local dry

:02:34.:02:37.

stone wall is in a race against time to finish this. He is putting his

:02:38.:02:44.

own time and money into creating something to mark the occasion in

:02:45.:02:50.

Ripley. In Harrogate, preparations are well underway for the biggest

:02:51.:02:54.

sporting event the town has ever seen. This is where spectators will

:02:55.:02:59.

watch a sprint finish on Saturday, so everything needs to be in place.

:03:00.:03:03.

When the world comes to Yorkshire, it is vital Yorkshire has the

:03:04.:03:08.

toilets to cope. More than 110 of them alone here, it is thought to

:03:09.:03:14.

20,000 people could be paying a visit here this weekend.

:03:15.:03:30.

No, this is not Paris, in fact, it is early in Wharfedale, around 100

:03:31.:03:40.

Scouts and Girl Guides helped build this wooden Eiffel Tower. When we

:03:41.:03:45.

had picked ourselves off the floor, hearing the Tour de France was going

:03:46.:03:49.

to start in Leeds this year, we thought, we have to celebrate it.

:03:50.:03:53.

What more iconic way of recognising France coming to England and to have

:03:54.:03:59.

the Eiffel tower somewhere in the village? It seems no one can escape

:04:00.:04:05.

Tour de France FIFA. The polka`dots and yellow jerseys line the route,

:04:06.:04:08.

know the people of Yorkshire wait for the world to arrive.

:04:09.:04:16.

So, it looks as if Yorkshire is ready. This is a great atmosphere.

:04:17.:04:21.

And he enjoyed yourself? Fantastic, amazing to have this race here this

:04:22.:04:26.

evening. You could almost feel you were in France as well. It

:04:27.:04:31.

definitely has a continental feel tonight. What will it do for

:04:32.:04:35.

Ilkley? Can you make it a regular event? People seem to want to come

:04:36.:04:41.

and watch it, so let's make it every year. Everyone else seems to be

:04:42.:04:46.

enjoying it, the cycling club is booming. Mata`mac doing really well,

:04:47.:04:49.

everyone is mulling it and getting into the spirit. Going on at the

:04:50.:04:55.

moment is the women's race. Lizzie Armitstead, who we will be talking

:04:56.:05:00.

to you later, is not taking part in that, she is in the men's race.

:05:01.:05:04.

Typical! But are we embracing the legacy of the two? Do we want to get

:05:05.:05:09.

on our bikes? Our correspondent Matt Slater has been investigating.

:05:10.:05:15.

We have bikes, would be Bradley Wiggins, and sunshine. That seems to

:05:16.:05:21.

be the message in Yorkshire were just about everyone agrees we would

:05:22.:05:25.

write a lot more if only the roads were safer. It gets them out in the

:05:26.:05:30.

fresh air, gets them out of the bedroom, it is a really good thing.

:05:31.:05:37.

She goes with me, I would not let her out on her own. It is the adults

:05:38.:05:44.

that need learning something. It will have a positive impact in terms

:05:45.:05:48.

of getting people to write against this place would be a good place to

:05:49.:05:53.

start. 550 youngsters from around the city riding in a fun and safe

:05:54.:05:58.

environment. This is the Hill climb, and they really have captured the

:05:59.:06:02.

spirit of the two. Safe was the key word. Which is not something we can

:06:03.:06:06.

say about many roads. As this commuter is about to learn. He was

:06:07.:06:13.

able to pick himself up eventually, but a poll for the BBC has revealed

:06:14.:06:17.

two thirds of adults in Britain think our roads are dangerous, only

:06:18.:06:21.

a third of their employer has done enough to promote cycling to work.

:06:22.:06:25.

But the demand is there, quarter of you want to write because of this.

:06:26.:06:29.

This wedding and it is safe is the challenge and were uttered to start

:06:30.:06:38.

than here? `` persuading them. Fundamentally, it is less is more.

:06:39.:06:45.

This would be a boulevard style, so changing it to a paving surface that

:06:46.:06:50.

is more neutral and take out all the street furniture, all those barriers

:06:51.:06:54.

would go. We would bring the speeds down to 20 mph. You ask anyone who

:06:55.:06:59.

was walking past, which is your favourite city, they could guarantee

:07:00.:07:05.

there would be a high level of cycling `` cycling and a lot of

:07:06.:07:09.

pedestrianisation. If the Tour will inspire more queens of the mansions,

:07:10.:07:14.

it is time to build a Copenhagen by Calderdale. In the meantime, the

:07:15.:07:22.

message is clear. One or two issues there that Matt

:07:23.:07:27.

has brought up. It would have the chair of the Ilkley cycling club.

:07:28.:07:32.

Basically, are we on roads that are safe for cycling? I think all

:07:33.:07:39.

cyclists have to take care when they are riding on public roads.

:07:40.:07:44.

Obviously, we would like to establish more off`road safe

:07:45.:07:48.

facilities as well. But I think the great thing is well about the Tour

:07:49.:07:51.

de France is that people are becoming more aware of cyclists on

:07:52.:07:59.

the road. I feel we need a more European, continental approach to

:08:00.:08:03.

cyclists. A lot of motorists are cyclists themselves. Have you

:08:04.:08:06.

noticed more cyclists around Ilkley? Is it just a Tour de France

:08:07.:08:13.

bubble ewe we already have 1000 members before we even got the

:08:14.:08:16.

announcement. I think the popularity of cycling in Yorkshire perhaps is

:08:17.:08:22.

one of the reasons for the Tour coming here. But we certainly hope

:08:23.:08:23.

we can grow project into place and bring more

:08:24.:08:30.

cyclists into Ilkley. This is the first time you have done it here,

:08:31.:08:34.

Otley had a successful one. Go and support that as well. Can this be

:08:35.:08:38.

the first of many? We certainly hope so. People have been really great

:08:39.:08:44.

and helped us in planning this event and we hope that we can carry on

:08:45.:08:50.

with the permission of the councils and everything else, that we can

:08:51.:08:54.

keep going and make an even bigger event next year. It is a lovely

:08:55.:08:58.

atmosphere here, it is going to be an exciting weekend if it is

:08:59.:09:02.

anything like this. More from me later, we will be talking to Lizzie

:09:03.:09:04.

Armitstead. Back to you damages to making `` makes Jamaica

:09:05.:10:37.

even more dangerous and that is fresh grounds for appeal. The fight

:10:38.:10:43.

to keep her son in the UK has taken a toll on his mother. She now fears

:10:44.:10:48.

for his life in Jamaica. I am very disappointed in the Government. I

:10:49.:10:52.

will never forget how they had treated my son and they have done

:10:53.:10:58.

what they have done to me, they had deteriorated his mind, they are

:10:59.:11:02.

breaking his spirit. All that they are doing is punishing my son,

:11:03.:11:07.

because of his sexuality, which is wrong. But the Home Office stands by

:11:08.:11:09.

its overall decision. What happens next is unclear.

:11:10.:11:28.

Orashia Edwards remains in limbo until his fate is finally decided.

:11:29.:11:36.

The Government has turned down a bit for York to have a say in the burial

:11:37.:11:41.

arrangements of Richard III. York lost a legal challenge to have the

:11:42.:11:45.

king buried in the city after his bones were discovered beneath a car

:11:46.:11:49.

park in Leicester in 2012. York Central MP Hugh Bayley said he was

:11:50.:11:53.

promised a meeting on the issue, but the Justice Minister Simon Hughes

:11:54.:11:57.

has turned him down. The Arts Council has announced a big

:11:58.:12:01.

increase in funding for a Leeds `based Northern Ballet. It will get

:12:02.:12:07.

an extra ?550,000, a rise of 23%. The Yorkshire Sculpture Park near

:12:08.:12:11.

Wakefield will get ?2 million for a new gallery to display the work of

:12:12.:12:15.

Henry Moore. The television presenter Marilyn

:12:16.:12:18.

Webb has died at her home in ligature. She worked on the ITV

:12:19.:12:23.

Yorkshire Calendar programme for newly 20 years as a reporter and a

:12:24.:12:29.

presenter from the mid`19 70s. She was 66.

:12:30.:12:33.

Labour leader Ed Miliband says Yorkshire is lagging behind the

:12:34.:12:38.

booming South East in jobs and investment. Today he promised he

:12:39.:12:43.

will put that right if elected Prime Minister. He chose a factory shop

:12:44.:12:46.

floor in Leeds to announce plans to give more local control of public

:12:47.:12:52.

spending. 19`year`old Ryan is lighting up

:12:53.:12:58.

Yorkshire's industrial future. He is one of the 15 apprentices taken on

:12:59.:13:02.

every year by this manufacturer of air conditioning units in Leeds.

:13:03.:13:10.

After finishing my college course, they offered me a job here. Nith

:13:11.:13:17.

let's transfer ?30 billion worth of spending out of Whitehall. Today, Ed

:13:18.:13:22.

Miliband used the shop floor to tell an invited audience that few

:13:23.:13:26.

companies are able to invest enough in training or modernisation, and if

:13:27.:13:32.

Labour is elected into Government, he will switch control of billions

:13:33.:13:35.

of public money is a local councils and businesses can decide spending

:13:36.:13:39.

priorities rather than Whitehall. Ewe to make those local decisions

:13:40.:13:44.

about transport, skills, to get people back to work. It is about

:13:45.:13:52.

giving local people local power to take decisions that matter to them.

:13:53.:13:55.

And it is about saying we cannot have all the jobs created in London

:13:56.:14:01.

and the south`east. We have to make sure we create the high skilled,

:14:02.:14:06.

high wage jobs in this region and right across the country, and we

:14:07.:14:10.

will make it happen. But must we, the Prime Minister and the

:14:11.:14:12.

Chancellor announced their own proposals for industrial investment

:14:13.:14:19.

so this package didn't impress Yorkshire MPs. A lot of the things

:14:20.:14:25.

he has proposed, the Government are already doing. It just shows he is

:14:26.:14:29.

either out of touch or are just not quite getting it. Stand`by for many

:14:30.:14:36.

more events like this. The political parties are aware that they need the

:14:37.:14:42.

votes of people who work in places like this. They are also aware that

:14:43.:14:46.

the clock is ticking to the General Election.

:14:47.:14:55.

A report into the quality of care at Leeds teaching hospitals has called

:14:56.:14:59.

for improvements in safety. The Care Quality Commission carried out an

:15:00.:15:03.

inspection in March at hospitals including Leeds General Infirmary

:15:04.:15:07.

and Singin says. They raised concerns about another of areas

:15:08.:15:09.

including staffing levels and training. `` and St James's.

:15:10.:15:16.

Around 70 inspectors from the Care Quality Commission spent four days

:15:17.:15:20.

in March looking at all areas of Leeds teaching hospitals. They found

:15:21.:15:25.

services in several hospitals were good. But Leeds General Infirmary

:15:26.:15:32.

and St James's required improvement. Among their concerns were staffing

:15:33.:15:37.

shortages on elderly care, children's and surgical wards. There

:15:38.:15:42.

are areas that the Trust absolutely must address in order to drive

:15:43.:15:45.

through improvements. They are around staffing levels, staff

:15:46.:15:49.

training, particularly around safeguarding, and around sharing

:15:50.:15:53.

those lessons when maybe things have not gone as well as they could.

:15:54.:15:57.

Inspectors acknowledged there were areas of good practice, Mike A and

:15:58.:16:04.

maternity. `` like A But they found safety needed to improve. The

:16:05.:16:08.

Trust has been told to make improvements in 15 areas. Leeds

:16:09.:16:11.

teaching hospitals say what to address these issues is already well

:16:12.:16:16.

underway with 400 extra nurses due to start from September and plans to

:16:17.:16:20.

deal with the problems around training and information sharing

:16:21.:16:25.

already in place. The Trust will now be inspected again at a later date

:16:26.:16:28.

to make sure the improvements have been made.

:16:29.:16:35.

That the latest from the studio, back to those two are celebrations.

:16:36.:16:41.

`` Tour. The atmosphere still continues to grow. The women's race

:16:42.:16:46.

just coming to a close. A rather special lady came to see us not so

:16:47.:16:53.

long ago. You may remember the medal rush in the 2012 Olympics by Lizzie

:16:54.:17:02.

Armitstead. Last Sunday she was picked for the World Champion ship

:17:03.:17:05.

crowd and I spoke to her a few minutes ago about that

:17:06.:17:07.

disappointment. It is a little bit softer, now, but

:17:08.:17:13.

I was very disappointed. But that is sport, you deal with it. If the

:17:14.:17:19.

reception he received tonight is anything to go by, it might have

:17:20.:17:24.

helped. I hope people still like the underdog. I have a lot of local

:17:25.:17:31.

support. This is an inaugural event. In our play they are doing it

:17:32.:17:35.

tomorrow night. It is great to see so much enthusiasm. It is definitely

:17:36.:17:40.

growing all the time. I think it is a really accessible sport. You can

:17:41.:17:44.

tell about people being here tonight, it is a free event. We

:17:45.:17:48.

would have liked to have seen you racing over here as well. The ladies

:17:49.:17:53.

race. Is it something that could be achieved? Staging this is a massive

:17:54.:18:01.

event and logistically, maybe it wasn't possible to put on a women's

:18:02.:18:04.

race. But in the future, it is something they want to look at. Is

:18:05.:18:09.

health and safety at issue here as well? Very concerned about nobody

:18:10.:18:13.

getting themselves knocked down. In Europe there is a lot less red tape.

:18:14.:18:19.

Events get put on much more easily. Maybe there will be a grand depart

:18:20.:18:25.

in the future. Coming about your plans for the next few months. The

:18:26.:18:30.

next big one is the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Fine tuning for

:18:31.:18:36.

the next few weeks. I am training. That is a big one. You are racing in

:18:37.:18:41.

the mens rea is tonight, does that worry you? `` the men's race. I will

:18:42.:18:51.

just try and stay safe but I am not going to win tonight. Lovely to see

:18:52.:18:54.

you. You know what people think of the year. Good luck tonight, go on,

:18:55.:19:01.

sorted out `` sort it out! I am not sure she will win, but that begin ``

:19:02.:19:06.

that race begins in about five minutes. We had our own race before

:19:07.:19:13.

the main event started. The bike we were given had a basket so we

:19:14.:19:16.

thought we would make it a food race. How much food could be

:19:17.:19:23.

collected in a 100 metres dash? I think certain people took advantage

:19:24.:19:28.

of me and the judge was Nicola Hudson, make of this what you will.

:19:29.:19:38.

I don't believe it. What a waste of beer. The wife says you are cheat! I

:19:39.:20:11.

am absolutely soaked. I tell you something, you are a cheat, Hudson!

:20:12.:20:15.

Even your wife told you off for making such a mess. I am soaked

:20:16.:20:23.

through, so I paid for it. We have some lovely pictures to show you

:20:24.:20:27.

before the forecast. These are my three favourites.

:20:28.:20:39.

The second one, we have lots of French onion sellers, as you might

:20:40.:20:46.

imagine. The third one, this is a very large yellow inflatable, very

:20:47.:20:50.

impressive, in Leeds. If you have a picture, send it to

:20:51.:20:59.

Keep those pictures coming in. Let's get the weather forecast. This

:21:00.:21:08.

is what we think Saturday is going to be like. There will be some rain

:21:09.:21:13.

on Saturday morning. But it should clear gradually in the afternoon, it

:21:14.:21:17.

looks a lot better. Still some uncertainty about the rain will

:21:18.:21:20.

clear, but it should clear through Saturday morning, in the afternoon

:21:21.:21:25.

looks much brighter. Sunday, a sunny start, then a few heavy showers

:21:26.:21:29.

developing into Sunday afternoon. Both days, temperatures around 19. A

:21:30.:21:35.

moderate West or South West wind. It could be worse. Let's have a look at

:21:36.:21:40.

this evening. It has been beautiful right across Yorkshire today. A

:21:41.:21:44.

better day to come tomorrow. Overnight, dry with clear periods.

:21:45.:21:49.

Any showers will clear. Clear spells, perhaps some mist around

:21:50.:21:52.

dawn. Lowest temperatures of around ten or 11. So, a marvellous day to

:21:53.:22:02.

come on Wednesday. Unbroken sunshine from first light in the morning. As

:22:03.:22:05.

temperatures rise, as you might expect, some cloud bubbling up, so

:22:06.:22:11.

the afternoon, the sunshine turning hazy as the cloud filters in from

:22:12.:22:14.

the West. With that moderate South West wind, it will be warm and much

:22:15.:22:19.

warmer along the coast. Onshore breezes this week. So, Scarborough

:22:20.:22:29.

and Filey, 22 or 23. A lovely day to come on Wednesday. The outlook, more

:22:30.:22:34.

cloud on Thursday, it could be thick enough for some drizzle over the

:22:35.:22:40.

Pennines. Otherwise, dry. Friday, it gradually goes downhill, a bright

:22:41.:22:43.

start but cloud thickens, some rain showing later in the day. If you are

:22:44.:22:48.

camping on Friday night for the Tour de France, it is going to be very

:22:49.:22:52.

wet this weekend. But the rain should clear through Saturday

:22:53.:22:55.

morning, then sunshine and scattered showers.

:22:56.:22:59.

After that race, I feel like IT new! That's just about it. Many

:23:00.:23:10.

people are wanting more information about the road closures that will

:23:11.:23:13.

come into effect over the weekend. If you go to the BBC website, it

:23:14.:23:17.

will give you all the details that you will need to make sure you

:23:18.:23:20.

weekend is as smooth as it can be. `` your weekend. As you can sense by

:23:21.:23:26.

the atmosphere tonight, it is building up to be a remarkable

:23:27.:23:30.

evening. We thought we would leave you tonight with some of your

:23:31.:23:38.

pictures. It will reflect what is about to happen to this region over

:23:39.:23:42.

the weekend. From Paul and myself, good night, please send us more

:23:43.:23:46.

pictures. At night. `` good night.
