:01:32. > :01:36.Lendl Bridge main thoroughfare through York and site of one of the
:01:37. > :01:41.biggest controversies to hit the city in recent years. Last August
:01:42. > :01:46.the council tried a bold plan to reduce traffic. They shut the bridge
:01:47. > :01:51.the most motorists the 6.5 hours a day. Confusion followed and 56,000
:01:52. > :01:56.fines were issued. In debris the trial ended, but restrictions
:01:57. > :02:01.remained until an independent adjudicator said it was unlawful.
:02:02. > :02:05.Council lawyers disagreed but still reopened the bridge in April. The
:02:06. > :02:18.signs came down but without clarification on what would happen
:02:19. > :02:20.to over ?1 million worth of fines. After months of uncertainty, the
:02:21. > :02:23.council announced all motorists who were fined jarring the trial period
:02:24. > :02:25.will be repaid in full. If they were in the wrong, they should definitely
:02:26. > :02:30.pay everybody back. It's unexpected bowl, it's the main road in York. I
:02:31. > :02:35.thought it was completely wrong. They should have known more about
:02:36. > :02:38.what they were trying to do. Your council still insists they did
:02:39. > :02:42.nothing wrong and today's decision to repay the fines is a goodwill
:02:43. > :02:47.gesture which they hope will draw a line under the messy business. But
:02:48. > :02:52.the man who first took issue with Fiennes isn't satisfied. The people
:02:53. > :02:57.should have sat in a car with a taxi driver and seen what chaos it
:02:58. > :03:01.caused, the decision they made. Justice has been done. That's all I
:03:02. > :03:12.wanted. I didn't want to get find the something didn't believe in. For
:03:13. > :03:15.Nigel it's not the end of his fight. His fine was for a separate scheme
:03:16. > :03:18.on copper gate and that is still being reviewed. Why has your council
:03:19. > :03:25.decided to repay the fines? Danny spoke to the council are now in
:03:26. > :03:28.charge of transport to ask him. The trial was a trial. The review has
:03:29. > :03:33.been with the tribunal for three months with no end in sight.
:03:34. > :03:38.Essentially, we want to move on. There's a lot of public uncertainty
:03:39. > :03:41.and upset about this and as a goodwill gesture we want to say if
:03:42. > :03:46.you make a particular request of the Council for a refund, we will grant
:03:47. > :03:52.it. How do people get the money back? We can't confirm anything
:03:53. > :03:56.around the process at the moment. We've issued the instruction to
:03:57. > :04:00.officers to put in place a process that is simple but robust. We're
:04:01. > :04:06.talking about taxpayers money so we need to be vigilant against fraud.
:04:07. > :04:11.Are you admitting you got it wrong? Everybody accepts the need for bold
:04:12. > :04:15.ideas to deal with congestion problems in York. This problem isn't
:04:16. > :04:19.going away and it's a contentious issue, which is why in terms of
:04:20. > :04:24.moving forward we've set up this congestion commission, it will be
:04:25. > :04:26.independently lead and cross`party, to build a consensus which we
:04:27. > :04:32.recognise might not have been done in the past. Some of the hearts and
:04:33. > :04:36.minds work that we haven't done in the past, that's important to us
:04:37. > :04:42.that we get that right from this point.
:04:43. > :04:44.Next tonight, West Yorkshire's police commissioner
:04:45. > :04:46.has promised to change the force's stop and search policy.
:04:47. > :04:48.An investigation by the BBC's Sunday Politics programme has
:04:49. > :04:50.found the controversial tactics are being used more often.
:04:51. > :04:53.The number of stop and search cases in Yorkshire has
:04:54. > :04:55.increased from 60,000 in 2010 to more than 71,000 last year,
:04:56. > :05:09.That's a rise of 15%, 10% higher than elsewhere in Britain.
:05:10. > :05:13.Everyone has a story about stop and search, but no one wants to be on

:05:29. > :05:34.was stopped and searched eight times in the past 18 months but has never
:05:35. > :05:37.been arrested and never charged. The Government now says
:05:38. > :05:39.the system must change. If the numbers do not come down,
:05:40. > :05:42.stop and search does not become more targeted, if the ratios do not
:05:43. > :05:45.improve considerably, the Government will return with primary legislation
:05:46. > :05:48.to make those things happen. No one from West Yorkshire Police

:06:06. > :06:12.and says changes will be made. I am aware
:06:13. > :06:16.of the disproportionality issue. Where stop and search is applied,
:06:17. > :06:18.it is clearly a waste of the public's time and, in fact,
:06:19. > :06:24.the police's time as well. We need to make sure

:11:45. > :11:49.being turned away from your chosen maternity unit is

:11:55. > :11:56.from ten hospital trusts in our region, revealing there were
:11:57. > :12:02.126 closures last year. Leeds Teaching Hospitals accounted
:12:03. > :12:05.for 89 closures across their two sites at the LGI
:12:06. > :12:08.and St James's, while the Mid Yorkshire Trust experienced 22
:12:09. > :12:11.closures at their three hospitals in Both the Leeds and
:12:12. > :12:18.Mid Yorkshire Trusts point out that they run a maternity service
:12:19. > :12:25.across the trust meaning that even if one unit is too busy,
:12:26. > :12:29.they can offer safe care at another For the woman, it is
:12:30. > :12:34.like her plans have been cancelled. She knows her local unit is
:12:35. > :12:38.there and she's used to it. To travel somewhere else,
:12:39. > :12:41.it's not important to her if it's the same service, it's not
:12:42. > :12:44.the service she is used to. The Government says the number
:12:45. > :12:50.of midwifery led units has almost doubled since 2010 and England

:12:53. > :13:00.to change their plans at their most vulnerable moment, the birth
:13:01. > :13:03.experience can be frightening. I think it was the most
:13:04. > :13:08.terrifying moment in my life. I felt I was close to death, it was
:13:09. > :13:12.the most terrifying thing ever. I laugh about it now and we had
:13:13. > :13:17.jokes later, but that moment... I don't wish anybody to go
:13:18. > :13:37.through anything like this. Behind`the`scenes photos of the Tour

:15:38. > :15:42.Yorkshire has several athletes in the Junior athletics squad,
:15:43. > :15:46.including Thomas Summers. Thomas Summers leads the country's
:15:47. > :15:51.under 20 rankings for 200 metres this season. He'd second on the
:15:52. > :15:55.allcomers list of his actual age group of under 17. Not bad for
:15:56. > :16:01.someone who stumbled into sprinting. When I first played rugby I found
:16:02. > :16:06.being quicker was an advantage. I joined the athletics club in 2011. I
:16:07. > :16:13.didn't really know what to expect and I came out with a bronze medal.
:16:14. > :16:21.I went back in 2012 and I won the 200 metres in around 21.5. He is
:16:22. > :16:26.breaking lots of records, he has a lot of natural talent in running. If
:16:27. > :16:32.you have a natural talent, it means you're reasonably quick and all it
:16:33. > :16:38.wants then is the hard work and some technique work. His rugby career has
:16:39. > :16:44.had to go by the wayside as he concentrates on life on the track. I
:16:45. > :16:48.do training for five days a week and then with school and everything, I
:16:49. > :16:51.don't get much time to myself, but it's something I enjoyed so I
:16:52. > :16:57.wouldn't change it. I love the sport. These World Championships
:16:58. > :17:03.will be a good test of just how far he's come. I'd love to pick up a
:17:04. > :17:08.medal, but my main aim is to go out and have a great experience. I'm
:17:09. > :17:21.only 17 and I'm competing against 19`year`old Ruby `s. Ultimately his
:17:22. > :17:26.coach sees him stepping up to 400 metres. Thomas isn't so keen. All
:17:27. > :17:32.the more motivation to get even quicker over 200 metres. I can
:17:33. > :17:47.confirm he is very swift! Thank you very much.
:17:48. > :17:49.Now, seven days ago Yorkshire was gearing
:17:50. > :17:51.up for a very special weekend ` the Tour de France.
:17:52. > :17:53.The event was watched by millions along the route
:17:54. > :17:57.and every one of them probably took a photograph to try and capture
:17:58. > :18:00.Well, one woman who got more involved than most was official
:18:01. > :18:02.behind`the`scenes photographer Jude Palmer from Harrogate.
:18:03. > :18:04.We'll be speaking to Jude in a moment but first here's
:18:05. > :18:37.Lovely images. Tell us how you got this job, a lot of people would have
:18:38. > :18:40.liked it! Absolutely. Last year when welcome to Yorkshire got the Tour de
:18:41. > :18:45.France, they did a series of road shows and I went to the first one in
:18:46. > :18:50.Leeds and said I wanted to get involved. She said join the queue,
:18:51. > :18:56.there are 30 or 40 others who want to do it! She said to e`mail her
:18:57. > :19:05.with my idea, which I did. When they came to Harrogate, I asked her for a
:19:06. > :19:10.coffee. What was the idea? To document the team delivering the
:19:11. > :19:15.tour to Yorkshire. And following the journey all the way through and I've
:19:16. > :19:18.been with them for 18 months. One of the defining moments was the crash
:19:19. > :19:25.involving Mark Cavendish. What was that like? Very dramatic. I shot him
:19:26. > :19:29.at the press conference afterwards. He could have gone home at that
:19:30. > :19:35.point and nobody would have blamed him. He came out and was a hero.
:19:36. > :19:40.This was when he said he was pulling out. A shocking moment for
:19:41. > :19:46.supporters. And he wanted to win so much. For him to come out and give a
:19:47. > :19:54.press conference was very brave. It wasn't only the cyclists you were
:19:55. > :19:59.focusing on, it was also the fans. I had a birds eye view of all the fans
:20:00. > :20:03.on the streets and there were no gaps between Yorkshire and
:20:04. > :20:08.Sheffield, it was stunning. I had the pellet on in front of me on some
:20:09. > :20:16.occasions. Do you have a favourite moment? The Skoda car experience was
:20:17. > :20:24.amazing because I love cycling so to be in amongst it all was very
:20:25. > :20:27.exciting. The millions along the route all tried to capture
:20:28. > :20:34.something. We saw that on social media. What did it feel like to be
:20:35. > :20:38.right there? I was very close. I was on the side of the house with the
:20:39. > :20:43.Royals and as I was taking the shots, I had goose bumps. It was
:20:44. > :20:51.incredible, you run out of superlatives. How are you getting
:20:52. > :20:58.over it? Cuiaba reft! `` Cuiaba reft. I was driving here to the
:20:59. > :21:24.studio and it was quite emotional. You could see all the yellow bikes.
:21:25. > :21:25.The Monks at Ampleforth Abbey in
:21:26. > :21:27.North Yorkshire are best known for their award`winning cider.
:21:28. > :21:30.But this weekend they're trying a very different skill.
:21:31. > :21:32.The Ryedale Festival starts tonight, with two weeks of music and shows.
:21:33. > :21:35.Well this year it includes a performance by none other than the
:21:36. > :21:38.James Vincent has gone for a sneak preview.
:21:39. > :21:43.Three weeks of opera, classical music and literature. You don't
:21:44. > :21:45.often see these people singing, these are the monks of Ampleforth
:21:46. > :22:10.Abbey. Let's have a quick listen. They sound absolutely fantastic.
:22:11. > :22:16.This is Christopher, the artistic director. This is fantastic. You've
:22:17. > :22:20.got things going on all across North Yorkshire. We are right at the
:22:21. > :22:26.beginning of two weeks of events. We start tonight in this wonderful
:22:27. > :22:30.Abbey with the monks of Ampleforth joining a whole group of stellar
:22:31. > :22:37.performers. Robert Hollingworth is conductor. A great way to start.
:22:38. > :22:42.Great for aficionados of opera and classical music, but what are you
:22:43. > :22:47.trying to do to get people who are new into the festival? The key thing
:22:48. > :22:52.is the marriage of the music and the venue. We try hard to put on music
:22:53. > :22:58.that really matches the venue and we are so lucky that we have places
:22:59. > :23:06.like Castle Howard, sled warehouse and we tried to match them. That's
:23:07. > :23:11.what we find inspires people. The festival is on until the end of July
:23:12. > :23:13.and I'm going to leave you with the monks of Ampleforth Abbey, a
:23:14. > :23:20.fantastic sound in this Abbey. I feel really mellow after that!
:23:21. > :23:47.Those voices really carry well. Finally tonight, a quick wash and
:23:48. > :23:50.brush up turned into a sticky jam for a Conisbrough toddler. Take a
:23:51. > :23:53.look at these wonderful pictures. This is 16`month`old Minnie

:23:57. > :24:00.while her mum's back was turned She seemed to think it was all
:24:01. > :24:03.a bit of fun. We caught up with her at home after
:24:04. > :24:07.she was released by fire fighters. Thanks to the expertise
:24:08. > :24:09.of the emergency services, My son shouted me and he said 'Mum,
:24:10. > :24:15.Minnie's stuck!' So I ran back downstairs
:24:16. > :24:19.and she was stuck in the bucket. I tried to get her out, and then I

:24:48. > :25:00.wedding video in 20 years time! How is the weekend looking? A mixed bag,
