New security measures for electronic devices have been introduced

:00:00.:00:00.

We can reveal that more than ?1 million was spent on the

:00:00.:00:14.

investigation ` money that could have gone towards patient care.

:00:15.:00:23.

It is a tragedy that money for health care should have to go

:00:24.:00:27.

towards that. It has to be paid for. Should

:00:28.:00:37.

our hospitals have had to pay? Also tonight,

:00:38.:00:39.

he is the man of the moment.. Gary Verity brought us

:00:40.:00:44.

Le Grand Depart. Can he deliver a Tour de Yorkshire

:00:45.:00:46.

and a professional women's race? This will affect so many lives in so

:00:47.:00:58.

many different ways, many of which we have not even thought about yet.

:00:59.:01:01.

And we are back at the Great Yorkshire Show, celebrating 40

:01:02.:01:03.

years of the world's biggest association of sidesaddle riders.

:01:04.:01:11.

The place has been perfect, with the lovely weather, so what is in

:01:12.:01:18.

prospect for tomorrow? Join me later for the full weather forecast.

:01:19.:01:23.

But first tonight, to the cost of the inquiry

:01:24.:01:26.

which Leeds teaching hospitals was forced to make in the wake of

:01:27.:01:28.

the abuse allegations made against the late entertainer Jimmy Savile.

:01:29.:01:31.

We can reveal that more than ?1 million was spent, mainly

:01:32.:01:34.

on legal fees and administration, on the 18`month investigation.

:01:35.:01:36.

One Leeds MP has described the use of funds that could have been used

:01:37.:01:39.

for patient care as Jimmy Savile "mocking us from beyond the grave".

:01:40.:01:42.

Our health correspondent Jamie Coulson has this exclusive report.

:01:43.:01:57.

Jimmy Savile, entertainer, not a paedophile and sex abuser. Two weeks

:01:58.:02:12.

ago, the scale of his claims that hospitals were revealed. For five

:02:13.:02:21.

decades, he abused patients and staff while working as a volunteer.

:02:22.:02:28.

Today, it was revealed that the cost of the investigation into his claims

:02:29.:02:34.

at the hospital in Leeds was over ?1 million. Most of that was staffing

:02:35.:02:42.

costs and legal fees. The majority will have to be paid for by the

:02:43.:02:50.

hospital trust. It is a tragedy that money for patient care should have

:02:51.:02:56.

to go for this. This has to be paid for, but as far as I am concerned,

:02:57.:03:02.

this is Jimmy Savile mocking us from beyond the grave. This is taking a

:03:03.:03:10.

further ?1 million a we from patients. His involvement with the

:03:11.:03:22.

hospital started in the 1960s. They had to interview people over the

:03:23.:03:26.

decades and analyse thousands of documents. The cost reflects the

:03:27.:03:35.

significance of the investigation. It brought to light abuses over a 50

:03:36.:03:42.

year period. This was just one part of the cost to the NHS. There are

:03:43.:03:49.

still separate reports coming from the BBC and the Department for

:03:50.:03:53.

Education about possible abuses elsewhere.

:03:54.:03:55.

Now, he was instrumental in bringing the world's biggest

:03:56.:03:57.

sporting event to Yorkshire and what a success it was.

:03:58.:03:59.

The Grand Depart of this year's Tour De France saw unprecedented scenes

:04:00.:04:02.

across the county, with millions of you lining the route in support.

:04:03.:04:05.

For Gary Verity, the head of Welcome To Yorkshire, it

:04:06.:04:07.

has been three years in the making ` and not without controversy.

:04:08.:04:10.

Today he was back in Yorkshire for the first time since Le Tour

:04:11.:04:14.

Tanya Arnold caught up with him and began by asking how difficult

:04:15.:04:17.

I am glad we did not give up. We are the claims you make of dumb? Not me

:04:18.:04:38.

personally, people were asking, why did we not do a deal with Edinburgh?

:04:39.:04:48.

People said, highly do you want to even host the Tour de France? What

:04:49.:04:55.

is that all about? But I stubbornly ignored all of that. I have a team

:04:56.:05:04.

here who are all on the knees and exhausted. There are a lot of people

:05:05.:05:09.

to take credit, such as the local authorities. You personally were

:05:10.:05:18.

taking a fair amount of criticism from a fairly tidy up bases. For

:05:19.:05:28.

sure, and it is still happening. But the head of the Tour de France said

:05:29.:05:37.

I know no that you are a man with the wilful refusal to take no for an

:05:38.:05:42.

answer. What do you want the legacy to be? I think you can see the

:05:43.:05:46.

legacy. The perception of Yorkshire has changed. You will see that as

:05:47.:05:54.

more people come here. It has made life better for businessmen and

:05:55.:06:00.

having conversations with globally know who have seen Yorkshire on the

:06:01.:06:03.

television over the world and will say, we saw it, it is stunning. What

:06:04.:06:11.

a great event you put on. I think you will see that though. I think

:06:12.:06:16.

hopefully also from a cycling point of view, more people will simply be

:06:17.:06:21.

using their bikes in Yorkshire. We will have a 3`D racing Yorkshire

:06:22.:06:26.

next year and down the middle day, a professional women's race. But that

:06:27.:06:32.

definitely happen? It is very important to myself. It is very

:06:33.:06:40.

important to us that we have the women's race. But it will be only

:06:41.:06:46.

the one day. It is not about equality? You have to start

:06:47.:06:51.

somewhere, start with something. Let us get that out that way and then we

:06:52.:06:55.

will look at it in the future. This will affect so many ways in so

:06:56.:07:04.

different ways. I am sure the tour being year will be reflected in

:07:05.:07:09.

years to come when it is judged as a defining moment as for the county.

:07:10.:07:14.

As a proud Yorkshireman, to have brought back, how does that make you

:07:15.:07:23.

feel? I get a bit emotional. You have got people around the world

:07:24.:07:28.

seeing how beautiful our county is incredible it is what we wanted. Job

:07:29.:07:31.

done. Yes, well done. Later on Look North ? old,

:07:32.:07:42.

but not forgotten. We have been inside Bradford's

:07:43.:07:44.

abandoned Odeon with TV's MPs have been told they should be

:07:45.:07:47.

doing more to save Yorkshire's pits, particularly in light of plans

:07:48.:07:57.

for a brand`new coal`fired power station at Drax

:07:58.:07:59.

which were announced yesterday. The Select Committee on Climate

:08:00.:08:01.

Change heard that foreign imports of coal are now dominating the

:08:02.:08:03.

market, leaving Kellingley Colliery in North Yorkshire and Hatfield

:08:04.:08:05.

near Doncaster out in the cold. Our Political Editor Len

:08:06.:08:08.

Tingle has this report. Just this week, the power station

:08:09.:08:26.

Drax at one the contract to build a new clean coal bundling plan, but it

:08:27.:08:33.

is unlikely to help the beleaguered coal mines. This is Kellingley

:08:34.:08:39.

Colliery in full production, making profit, it is just four miles from

:08:40.:08:45.

revenue station would be built. But without economic help from the

:08:46.:08:51.

government, its future can be measured any manner of months.

:08:52.:08:55.

Today, MPs were told that the operators want to shut it down

:08:56.:09:00.

before new environmental targets kick in. Unions say they should keep

:09:01.:09:06.

it going until the new plant comes online, rather than relying on

:09:07.:09:14.

imports, many of them from Russia. It must be better for the

:09:15.:09:18.

environment for us to ship the call from here than to import it from the

:09:19.:09:24.

likes of Russia. This is not the only colliery that gave evidence.

:09:25.:09:31.

The only other outdoor pet but Frank Field, which was opened by a

:09:32.:09:36.

partnership of May management, today, the chairman said that if

:09:37.:09:44.

Kellingley Colliery closed down, the industry, though measuring just

:09:45.:09:48.

three colonies around England, would someone be too small to be viable.

:09:49.:09:57.

Going forward, what we need is long`term contracts that they will

:09:58.:10:05.

burn British call. The worry is that when the report lands on the desk of

:10:06.:10:11.

MPs, it will not put the enough pressure on the government to give

:10:12.:10:13.

them a long`term future. Bassetlaw MP John Mann says there

:10:14.:10:18.

may still be copies of a dossier from the 1980s which

:10:19.:10:20.

claims public figures at Westminster Investigations have been launched

:10:21.:10:23.

after it emerged that the Home John Mann says he has been

:10:24.:10:27.

told that copies were passed He also says that he understands

:10:28.:10:31.

people who saw the documents were asked to sign

:10:32.:10:34.

the Official Secrets Act and he This was sent elsewhere. The reason

:10:35.:10:52.

people are not coming forward, I believe, is that everyone who saw

:10:53.:10:58.

was forced to sign the official secrets act. The official secrets

:10:59.:10:59.

act. We need document removing. A number of schools

:11:00.:11:04.

across the region will be affected tomorrow, as some public sector

:11:05.:11:07.

workers stage a one`day strike over There are

:11:08.:11:09.

around 80 full or partial closures In South Yorkshire, more than 250

:11:10.:11:12.

schools will also be affected ` For full information

about the disruption, check A GP from Bawtry has been jailed

:11:17.:11:20.

for nearly 12 years after being convicted of sexually assaulting

:11:21.:11:33.

nine patients over three decades. 62`year`old Andrew Johnson was found

:11:34.:11:35.

guilty of 15 offences of indecent and sexual assault,

:11:36.:11:37.

following a seven week trial The offences were committed

:11:38.:11:40.

against women and girls as young as 14 between 1979 and 2006

:11:41.:11:43.

at Station Road Surgery in Bawtry Mr Johnson was also convicted

:11:44.:11:46.

of a separate charge of historical sexual abuse against a

:11:47.:11:49.

teenage girl who was not a patient. People living in historic Saltaire

:11:50.:12:05.

near Bradford have been told they face legal action

:12:06.:12:08.

if their front doors do not comply The village, built by Sir Titus Salt

:12:09.:12:10.

for workers at his nearby mill, was Every property in

:12:11.:12:15.

the area has been looked at and some 's of all designs and colours. The

:12:16.:12:41.

council was not happy and has written to some residents telling

:12:42.:12:44.

them that they face legal action if they do not smarten up their

:12:45.:12:50.

properties. It is about standards and reflecting how the village was

:12:51.:12:56.

originally. That is its unique value. But the residents we spoke to

:12:57.:13:00.

did not know what all the fuss was about. I have got a green door and,

:13:01.:13:11.

coming from South America, I like bright colours. It seems to me

:13:12.:13:15.

strange that they are bothering about the front doors, when it seems

:13:16.:13:19.

there are a lot of other things that are wrong and that they could pick

:13:20.:13:25.

up on. The homes are grade two listed and the council wants

:13:26.:13:30.

consistency and says it will do all I can to help residents comply with

:13:31.:13:38.

the special regulations. They would not let put washing outside the.

BBC Look North has been given exclusive access inside Bradford's

:13:48.:13:49.

We accompanied the presenter of Channel's 4's Restoration Man

:13:50.:13:52.

series, who was invited to the cinema

:13:53.:13:54.

A huge question mark hangs over the future of the much`loved

:13:55.:13:58.

building with redevelopment still not a certainty.

:13:59.:14:00.

This was known as the second cinema and the capacity was 1200. It is 14

:14:01.:14:25.

years this month since the closing of the cinema. Since then, nearly

:14:26.:14:31.

everything has been stripped out. But there are still in few reminders

:14:32.:14:41.

of the past. It opened as a 3300 seater theatre in 1930, the biggest

:14:42.:14:48.

outside London. In 1969, it was converted into three smaller cinemas

:14:49.:14:54.

and the Bengal. Much of what remains fierce relatively modern. It was

:14:55.:14:59.

locked up in 2000 and then abandoned. It was a good viable

:15:00.:15:08.

option. There is no point restoring up for restoration seek. It has to

:15:09.:15:13.

have a viable use or in 30 years time, it will be back in this

:15:14.:15:20.

condition. The case or accept it could be saved. Two proposals have

:15:21.:15:23.

been put forward by independent groups. One of these proposals is

:15:24.:15:33.

for a music venue. The other is looking at the combination of

:15:34.:15:39.

community facilities and student flats. It may cost in the region of

:15:40.:15:46.

?20 million to time the eye`catching features into reality. The

:15:47.:15:57.

opportunity to recycle buildings as a huge amount of potential. People

:15:58.:16:01.

have got huge emotional connections with buildings like this and by

:16:02.:16:05.

saving them and giving them a new lease of life and restoring them, it

:16:06.:16:11.

is great for every town and city, as far as I am concerned. He was quite

:16:12.:16:23.

excited by aspects of the building and wants to be kept abreast of

:16:24.:16:27.

developments. He has a real And one for the ladies, `

we take a look at the history Now, police are using

:17:02.:17:05.

the Tour de France to encourage Last year, more than 5,000 bicycles

:17:06.:17:08.

were reported stolen across Yorkshire,

:17:09.:17:11.

but police say the real figure is likely to be much higher as most

:17:12.:17:13.

people do not bother to tell them. many cases, the owners have not been

:17:14.:18:30.

found because they not officially recorded about missing or recorded

:18:31.:18:35.

the make or serial number. The bait shop works with the police to keep

:18:36.:18:41.

an eye on the serial numbers of the bikes they sell. Make a note of the

:18:42.:18:47.

serial number as well as the make and model. Preferably, even take a

:18:48.:18:54.

photograph. If the bike is stolen, you have that information that you

:18:55.:18:59.

can pass on to others. It means saving of public shows up after

:19:00.:19:03.

being sold on, it can be traced and returned. Let assaults on people

in Leeds this morning. The club formerly known as

Leeds Carnegie was re`launched as It is hoped the move will attract

new investment to help The long`term plan is to make

it easier for young players Everybody understands that there is

:19:24.:19:42.

a process that if there is talent, the talent should draw that system

:19:43.:19:48.

in. On the way, it should keep their base in those areas which are

:19:49.:19:54.

strong. It allows more people to be involved along with it.

:19:55.:19:57.

In cricket, Yorkshire are pushing for a victory

:19:58.:19:58.

that would take them back to the top of the County Championship.

Steve Patterson trapped Mark Wood LBW, as the home side

BBC radio is all about trust. No one fits the bill better than Peter. He

:20:11.:20:41.

joined the station in 1984 and is known as the voice of the year

:20:42.:20:47.

waves. This week, colleagues celebrated his landmark with a

:20:48.:20:52.

surprise civic reception in the city. Three decades as the voice of

:20:53.:20:57.

radio Sheffield celebrated with the real surprise. With the help of the

:20:58.:21:03.

co`host, the team turned the microphone on the man himself. I

:21:04.:21:10.

turned up to interview the Lord Mayor and it suddenly burst open and

:21:11.:21:15.

there was lots of people I have known for years. What makes him so

:21:16.:21:21.

special? That fascination with people really shines through. He is

:21:22.:21:27.

fascinated by people and we are fascinated by him. Long may he

:21:28.:21:33.

continue. He has made some features which have been a bit out there. I

:21:34.:21:40.

remember giving him being naked in Turkish baths. I cannot remember a

:21:41.:21:46.

time when he was not on the radio. The people of Sheffield and the

:21:47.:21:53.

people of Yorkshire just adore him. At the Yorkshire sure, I caught up

:21:54.:21:57.

with them. How have you lasted so long? I have been doing it every day

:21:58.:22:04.

and no one has noticed. What are your memories of joining? I used to

:22:05.:22:11.

switch it on and it 11 o'clock every day and thought, I would love to

:22:12.:22:15.

join the place and I was lucky enough to do that. What was the

:22:16.:22:20.

biggest story? I think it was just when I joined, it was the start of

:22:27.:22:41.

years since and not be the mere put a chair like application on a horse,

:22:42.:22:50.

the first person to raid sidesaddle. There is an appreciation of the art

:22:51.:22:56.

with celebrations marking the 40th anniversary of the local

:22:57.:22:57.

association. It is the true test of both horse

:22:58.:23:19.

and a horse women, raiding sidesaddle. Perfect balance must be

:23:20.:23:26.

achieved. It was an ideal place to see what is becoming a dying skill.

:23:27.:23:35.

It is an art. It is elegant. It lists you as a Raider and also makes

:23:36.:23:37.

you feel part of a bygone era. It was women's long skirts and a

:23:38.:23:53.

desire to remain modestly that made sidesaddle raiding a thing of the

:23:54.:24:02.

past, but as things change, outfits became more practical. I am feeling

:24:03.:24:07.

rather underdressed today. Lisa, you look fantastic. We have the lovely

:24:08.:24:15.

cutaway jacket. This has the safety apron on it. We are also be able to

:24:16.:24:25.

get off the horse easily. Years ago, they had the full skirt on, which

:24:26.:24:29.

would have made life much more difficult. There were days, we can

:24:30.:24:37.

get fairly safely. The fame and then femininity of the dress belies the

:24:38.:24:41.

toughness of the Raiders of the past. Some even take themselves off

:24:42.:24:50.

to the First World War, as nurses. You imagine scores of women going on

:24:51.:24:57.

the battlefield in scarlet uniforms to rescue victims and bring them

:24:58.:25:02.

back to the military stations. It is just one of the stories being told

:25:03.:25:08.

that the BBC's exhibit. In the present day, they have a pressing

:25:09.:25:15.

problem, the lack of saddles. We believe many people may have them in

:25:16.:25:20.

the attic, so please get them out and give them to us. We need them to

:25:21.:25:30.

continue love doing what we do. Without them, the art world daddy.

:25:31.:25:36.

And that would be a great shame. That is such a skill. If you are

:25:37.:25:42.

going there, make a point of going to the BBC exhibition. Letters is

:25:43.:25:50.

what the weather stays as nice as it has been. Paul has been the today.

:25:51.:25:54.

It was glorious when we were there earlier.

:25:55.:26:00.

Just like how many people are still watching. If the Kahneman spins

:26:01.:26:13.

round, you can see the live music. That is the weather coming tomorrow.

:26:14.:26:21.

It heralds a big change in the next 24 hours. It is a lovely evening. A

:26:22.:26:30.

lot of sunshine around. 22 degrees in Bradford. Cloud will begin to

:26:31.:26:35.

increase from the east overnight. We could see some patchy rain on the

:26:36.:26:44.

coast. A dry night for the rest. Neither 14 Celsius in the land. It

:26:45.:26:53.

looks like here tomorrow, it is looking a lot better tomorrow. The

:26:54.:26:58.

region will be a long at first light and liberal edge west words, but it

:26:59.:27:04.

is a slow process and may not even get here into the latter stages of

:27:05.:27:11.

tomorrow afternoon. Good news for the Showgrounds here in Harrowgate.

:27:12.:27:21.

High temperatures of 18 Celsius. Further east, that trend could be

:27:22.:27:26.

heavy, especially in the afternoon. Rain coming on Thursday night,

:27:27.:27:31.

Friday starts off damp but brightens up in the afternoon. Their weekend

:27:32.:27:36.

is looking warm with sunny intervals, with thundery showers.

:27:37.:27:41.

Tomorrow's forecast coming from here once again. Good night.

:27:42.:27:56.

and this time the challenge is bigger than ever.

:27:57.:27:59.

Six young songwriters mark a major anniversary.

:28:00.:28:02.

It'll be really difficult to write a song for World War I.

:28:03.:28:07.

They're really going to have to put themselves in those people's shoes.

:28:08.:28:10.

Guys, did that go perfectly? Did we forget the tune?

:28:11.:28:15.

I just don't want to mess it up. There's a lot of pressure.

:28:16.:28:17.
