Good evening and welcome to Thursday's Look North. | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
To take the sport to hold an eye on getting a real tangle about this. | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
The opening ceremony is takhng place behind us right now. Just two days | :00:25. | :00:42. | |
to go until the race starts and tonight, all 198 of the raiders are | :00:43. | :00:52. | |
taking part in the opening ceremony. We will also catch up with some of | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
the famous faces taking part in the opening ceremony. To have it on our | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
home turf is quite a big honour owner of two pit bulls which savaged | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
to death a pregnant woman is spared There is going to be a festhval of | :01:10. | :01:24. | |
cycling here, but there's also a big campsite and I am going to tell | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
these campers whether it is going to be wet or not over the next few | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
days. Welcome to the programme. | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
We are at Leeds Arena, as the world's largest annual sporting | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
event is officially underwax. The opening ceremony has just begun. | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
We should be able to show you some of that later in the progralme, but | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
198 Tour De France cyclists are now making their way from the university | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
down to us here, to take centre We will bring you some of the leader | :01:46. | :02:01. | |
in the programme. We have sden one of the first teams cycling past It | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
is all about the 198 cyclists tonight. They are making thdir way | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
from Leeds University to take centre stage here. You have covered a lot | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
of tools in your time. Have you seen anything like this? This is the | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
biggest opening ceremony th`t has ever been put on for me Tour de | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
France. There's a lot of razzmatazz. I think this is a real innovation. | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
The great thing about this dvent is, you do not have to buy a ticket and | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
you get to the European noise when they come through the streets. Now, | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
we have some of the teams hdre, this is one of the smaller ones, but | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
Bradley Wiggins actually st`rted his career with them a few years ago. | :02:59. | :03:07. | |
So, with the global spotlight now on Yorkshire, how can our businesses | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
take advantage? Our business correspondent Danni | :03:11. | :03:11. | |
Hewson reports from the Grand Depart International Business Festhval in | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
If there's one thing Yorkshhre people are good, it is figuring out | :03:14. | :03:37. | |
how make money. There are a a lot of companies to meet. For sports | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
industries, it is a great opportunity to meet people `nd do | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
business. This is the first time a business conference has been | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
organised to coincide with the opening of the two are diffdrent and | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
it is likely to be a future innovation. It is stage one for the | :03:59. | :04:08. | |
race, but also stage one for us for a long`term plan. Events ard | :04:09. | :04:17. | |
targeted, so potential buyers and the health care sector spent the | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
afternoon visiting this factory in Rotherham. Yorkshire is a rdal | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
centre of excellence for thd industries. It is a fantasthc | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
platform to tell the world `bout the great technology we have in being | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
produced and enervated here in Yorkshire. If the joints do not | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
catch the fancy, how about the suits? A celebration of the textile | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
manufacturers in the region. They are looking to expand into larkets | :04:56. | :05:06. | |
such as China. China is a good market for luxury goods, but it is | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
also a matter of exposing the company to them and that is what | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
we're hoping this will do. No one with interest in the underestimates | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
the tour fever. To harness the enthusiasm and energy and thme it | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
into something concrete, like jobs, where people are coming to visit | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
Yorkshire, businesses, openhng up offices here, some people coming | :05:33. | :05:42. | |
here most are wondering how far it was from London. Now they h`ve the | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
answer. Now, the police operation for the | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
Grand Depart has also been ` massive event. | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
In fact, it has been a year in the planning. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
Joining us is Assistant Chidf Constable Mark Milsom, the lan in | :05:54. | :05:54. | |
charge. So, what about the riders | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
themselves? Several of the teams have bden | :05:57. | :05:57. | |
holding their pre`race press How much of the challenge h`s this | :05:58. | :06:08. | |
been? Yorkshire always comes together for the big occasion. All | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
the police forces have come together and the other emergency services and | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
the councils, so it has been a big team effort. We are absolutdly | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
delighted. The police raiders were also out today, which was a sight to | :06:27. | :06:35. | |
behold. Yes, there are about 80 police motorcyclists out and about | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
on the route. We wanted to lake people aware that they will be | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
coming through. There are s`fety issues. It was a friendly rdminder. | :06:46. | :06:55. | |
He also had the French police here? Yes, it has been a real ple`sure | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
working with them, although the always kiss you finally meet you, so | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
I am not so sure about that. Clearly, these are challenghng | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
times. It was an event that which you obviously want to run sloothly. | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
That is why we plan it over such a long time. We look at all | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
eventualities and make sure we are ready if something should h`ppen. | :07:24. | :07:32. | |
The number of people who cotld be involved is obviously an issue? Yes, | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
the amount of people involvdd and also the amount of places that are | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
being involved as well. We `re expecting a very friendly code. Yes, | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
we are expecting a family code, a cycling code. We are expecthng them | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
to get a fantastic welcome. Of course, the Raiders have bedn | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
arriving over the last couple of days and today has been verx | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
exciting because news conferences have been taking place just about | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
everywhere. No, just what about the raiders themselves? You can see that | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
bakes, but no one is on thel. The days just before the tour are | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
fraught with danger. A crash, an illness. No one faces more of these | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
than the defending champion. It helps if the boss can see them off | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
with the charm offensive. Yesterday, I drove up the motorway | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
and I saw all these signs as I was driving up, it said possibld delays | :08:43. | :08:52. | |
due to the two different onds. It made me stop and think. It hs | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
amazing that we are starting at like this in Yorkshire. It is not easy | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
getting ready for it. You h`ve to put yourself through a lot of | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
training and beyond the start line mentally physically fit. Each one of | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
the name guys has done that. We are ready for this. Great kiss from a | :09:15. | :09:22. | |
close second was Mark Cavendish He had a lot of support in the room. | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
This is a massive short of we are cycling has now got to. The amount | :09:29. | :09:37. | |
of people embracing it is jtst blows your mind. I am looking forward to | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
taking that all end. The he`d of teams carriers and they are | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
somewhere. He has just almost completed his first round of daily | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
interviews. It all starts on Saturday and they know they are | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
going to get a lot of support along these roads. We have seen another | :10:00. | :10:09. | |
team go past. We saw a Russhan team, a French team. They have a | :10:10. | :10:26. | |
substitute, Scott, who it would be nice if you get the chance. Towards | :10:27. | :10:34. | |
the end, we may get the Australian team, who have the British raider. | :10:35. | :10:44. | |
The British riders have been saying it is great to be in Yorkshhre and | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
for to be starting in Great Britain. They are very excited. The sponsors | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
of obviously noticed a really Raiders have engaged with the | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
public. Have you heard the response from the foreign raiders? Yds, they | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
all seem to be enjoying it. They have all remarked on the fact that | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
we have really grabbed the opportunity to promote the race We | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
will speak to you later. We will have you on because you know what | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
you are talking about! Now, obviously a lot of roads will be | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
closed for the tour, starting tomorrow. You can tune into local | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
radio to have all the inforlation and we will also have some | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
information to mention to hdlp you get around. Whether you are watching | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
it live or on television. Another team is coming pastors. The as | :11:48. | :12:00. | |

but we will be telling you `ll about that later in the programme. | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
The owner of two pit bull dogs which mauled to death his pregnant partner | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
in Leeds has been spared jahl, because a district judge sahd he had | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
expressed his deep remorse for the horrific attack. | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
But he told Lee Horner he would have to live the rest of his lifd with | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
the responsibility for and the torment of Emma Bennett's ddath | :12:37. | :12:51. | |
On December the 9th last ye`r, a dog stands outside, a second cornered by | :12:52. | :13:02. | |

Today, the Magistrates' Court was told it was not clear why the | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
previously passive dogs had turned Emma Bennett on. Neighbours remember | :13:23. | :13:31. | |
hearing the woman screaming. She died after suffering severe dog | :13:32. | :13:41. | |
bites, in the hospital. The Deputy district judge told Lee Horner he | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
would have to be for the rest of his life has torment of the death of the | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
love of his life, but because he showed remorse, they said hd would | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
not be sent to prison. He w`s sentenced to 280 hours unpahd | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
community work. He must also pay ?100 of having the dogs destroyed. | :14:07. | :14:11. | |

The move comes two months after the Leeds`based chain, which has nearly | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
600 stores in the UK, warned that around 4,000 roles were at risk | :14:29. | :14:31. | |

of patients across Chesterfheld telling them that plans to split a | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
troubled GP surgery in Stavdley away from its parent company havd been | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
shelved. The Rectory Road practice h`s been | :14:44. | :14:44. | |
investigated by NHS England over a number of concerns, including | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
continuity of care and patidnt access. | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
A report published in Febru`ry recommended the practice should be | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
split from the Holywell Medhcal Group and taken over by another | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
provider, but one could not be I think patients will be very | :14:54. | :15:13. | |
disappointed at this stage. There were promises made. They were | :15:14. | :15:23. | |
competition requirements and because of the GP shortage crisis. | :15:24. | :15:26. | |

Yorkshire. I have not performed at the arena before either. Just to be | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
representing our home turf hs quite a big honour. When you are on home | :20:12. | :20:22. | |
turf, it is so different. Yds, the love that. It is a big deal. Any | :20:23. | :20:32. | |
nails? A couple. Any gig on home territory is a bit nerve wr`cking. | :20:33. | :20:41. | |
I did the coast`to`coast bike ride from Scarborough to Cumbria. Going | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
through the villages and thd deals, if the weather is anything like | :20:50. | :20:53. | |

France, Germany, Belgium. Where are you from? We are from Leeds We re | :21:33. | :21:43. | |
going to watch all the breaks and be cheering. If you were going to go to | :21:44. | :21:51. | |
one part on the 258 males, free reduce go? We are hoping to watch | :21:52. | :22:01. | |
them on the cobbles. Take your time if you are claiming a beer. I did | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
that and I was in a bad way. To the road closures worry you? Should we | :22:09. | :22:18. | |
just put up with that? Everxone has been given alternative routds. | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
Simply, you have to go with the atmosphere. It is going to be | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
fantastic. Have any of you been inspired to take up cycling now that | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
you found out that the Tour de France was coming here? I dhd. I was | :22:33. | :22:44. | |
cycling beforehand. Clearly going to watch that is wrong? Harrowgate | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
With all the media coverage, it can be difficult to get in and out. Do | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
you think the event will show off Yorkshire? I am sure it will. As | :22:59. | :23:07. | |
regards cycling, I used to do a lot of it. That is fantastic. Wd will | :23:08. | :23:25. | |
look out for you. Well done. What is special to you about the race? I | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
think it is brilliant that hs so much support, it makes you really | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
proud of the region. No French, no German here. Yorkshire born all of | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
them. We are going to cross over to Paul. I can hear some jeering, | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
actually. I think another tdam is coming round the corner. We can just | :23:52. | :24:01. | |
see them know in the green jerseys. There's Michael Rogers. There's a | :24:02. | :24:11. | |
battle can't adore, a previous winner of the race. He is in great | :24:12. | :24:21. | |
form this year. We need to cross over to Paul. He has got thd latest | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
weather forecast. It is perfectly in North Yorks. What | :24:24. | :24:37. | |
a fantastic sport. You can watch the race go back live and watch all the | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
footage on the huge televishon screens. There is live music and a | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
big campsite. It may be right on Friday night. Let me just show you a | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
few of the photographs sent in over the last day. This was a prhmary | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
school. In the shape of our basic call. Terrific. And look at this | :25:02. | :25:10. | |
lamb and these look like beds buzzing in the countryside. A look | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
at this one. And this one m`de me laugh. Man in a bush after ` cycling | :25:19. | :25:28. | |
accident. Fantastic. Please keep them coming in. Now, some overnight | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
rain to clear on Saturday morning, but hopefully, it should be clear by | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
the time the race starts and some sunshine in the afternoon on | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
Saturday. On Sunday, a sunnx start, but clouds will bubble up in the | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
afternoon and roll we will see a scattering of showers, with some | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
