officers face. The tragedy

with a car last July. We know that he will not ever be man he was

before so at the moment we `re hoping that we can get some quality

so that he can community with us, possibly. Or even just be aware that

we are there. Across Yorkshhre, hundreds of cyclists are injured

every year. They include veteran cyclist Brian Robinson. In 0958 he

became the first Briton to win a stage of the Tour de France. Two

weeks ago, he was knocked off his bike. It was a quick bang and then I

of the old castle itself with a view to building a replica gatehouse and

money to demolish the market. I suppose the ruins. We have got bids

that is why we need to do excavations to find out what is

there. If there is enough, we will create the park and display the

very much. They also want to excavate the river which is

on all six apparatus and clinched third with a well controlled

dismount of the high bar. This was Nile's first ever senior

competition, so you can't overstate how well the 18`year`old has done to

collect that bronze medal. Give a bit of a dream. I was not

expecting it. I came into it with the same thoughts as always, to do

my job and think about my routine. I cannot believe I have just won a

in her bout, putting her Sri Lankan opponent

on the canvas in the first round. The Olympic champion continted to

dominate and even had time for a bit of show`boating just

before the final bell. She'll fight again on Friday

along with Qais Ashfaq. He was equally impressive,

winning a unanimous decision over Scotland's Joe Ham to reach

the bantamweight semi`finals. Best of luck to the both of them.

glazing is needed to pave the way. It is a unique view

of the 600`year`old masterphece High up above York, the largest

medieval window in the world. York Minster is the pride of the

city and for the last six years, intricate work has been carried out

to ensure the building's be`uty is ?20 million is being spent restoring

York Minster's great east window. The stained glass has been removed,

cleaned, repaired and archived. Today, they began putting

glass back into the window. First, a new protective glazing goes

in, followed by the stained glass. There is no question

of any being smashed. We are so familiar with

working with stained glass. It is the last thing we

would ever want to do. All of us would hand in our

resignation if anything was damaged. That just has not happened

and it has not been an issud. These faces had not been sedn

in such detail for 600 years. They belong high up in the Minster

but the restoration work has allowed us to view the stained glass

in all its glory. Soon, these priceless images will

be returning to the window. We are 80 feet up at York Minster
