:00:50. > :00:52.They've been awarded more than ?3 million, which means many

:00:53. > :00:59.inaccessible parts up until now will soon be opened up to the public.

:01:15. > :01:20.The right of MPs to speak ott about issues they feel passionately about.

:01:21. > :01:23.But tonight we're asking whether one MP has gone too far

:01:24. > :01:26.BBC Yorkshire has learned Wdst Yorkshire Police are investigating

:01:27. > :01:29.complaints following comments made by Bradford West MP George Galloway

:01:30. > :01:39.in which he called for Bradford to be an Israel`free zone.

:01:40. > :01:43.Footage on YouTube shows the MP speaking at a packed meeting of

:01:44. > :01:46.activists over the weekend. Mr Galloway claimed Bradford should

:01:47. > :01:47.exclude Israeli goods, academics Galloway claimed Bradford should

:01:48. > :01:56.exclude Israeli goods, acaddmics and even tourists. We have declared

:01:57. > :01:59.Bradford and Israel free zone. The strongest words yet on the crisis in

:02:00. > :02:03.Gaza from Bradford MP Georgd Galloway. Cut every link with

:02:04. > :02:06.Israel. We don't want any Israeli goods, we don't want any Israeli

:02:07. > :02:11.services, we don't want any Israeli services, we don't want any Israeli

:02:12. > :02:13.academics coming to the university or college. We don't even w`nt any

:02:14. > :02:16.or college. We don't even want any Israeli tourists to come to

:02:17. > :02:22.Bradford, even if any of thdm have thought of doing so. Bradford, and

:02:23. > :02:26.its relatively large population of British Asian Muslims, has been at

:02:27. > :02:27.the forefront of passionate but peaceful street action, demanding

:02:28. > :02:30.that Israel stop a bombardmdnt of that Israel stop a bombardmdnt of

:02:31. > :02:35.Gaza. George Galloway, for years one Gaza. George Galloway, for xears one

:02:36. > :02:39.of the strongest advocates of Palestinian independence, m`de his

:02:40. > :02:43.latest speech to supporters of his party needs a couple of days ago,

:02:44. > :02:49.Respect. But wide circulation of air recording of it on you Tube has met

:02:50. > :02:52.with claims that calls for action against individual Israelis, could

:02:53. > :02:55.incite a violent reaction. West Yorkshire Police confirmed that it

:02:56. > :03:03.had received two separate complaints. George Galloway at

:03:04. > :03:08.himself was unavailable for interview but his office sahd:

:03:09. > :03:14.And the call for trade and sporting sanctions against Israel is not

:03:15. > :03:15.confined to George Galloway or respect. The Bradford Liberal

:03:16. > :03:20.respect. The Bradford Liber`l Democrat MP who's online petition

:03:21. > :03:24.calling for peace topped 75,000 signatures today says he wants the

:03:25. > :03:31.government to declare a nathonal boycott. Nigel is a man has worked

:03:32. > :03:35.very closely with the Muslim very closely with the Muslil

:03:36. > :03:38.community, he joins us from the Bradford synagogue. First of all,

:03:39. > :03:42.has Mr Galloway crossed the line? Should he be thinking things? I

:03:43. > :03:46.think he has. And all afternoon, think he has. And all afternoon,

:03:47. > :03:50.people have been trying to get hold of him to ask him about these words

:03:51. > :03:54.and he has not come forward. I think he has crossed the line and it is

:03:55. > :03:57.not helpful at all. There are protests going on all the time

:03:58. > :04:00.protests going on all the thme against Israeli action, see he would

:04:01. > :04:04.therefore say he is justifidd and therefore say he is justifidd and

:04:05. > :04:06.why shouldn't he do it? At the moment we are in a truce position. I

:04:07. > :04:10.heard earlier today, there hs moment we are in a truce position. I

:04:11. > :04:15.heard earlier today, there hs a hope that peace negotiations will carry

:04:16. > :04:16.on. We all want peace and I don t think George Galloway saying

:04:17. > :04:21.Israelis and Israeli goods `re Israelis and Israeli goods `re

:04:22. > :04:24.banned helps anyone in any way. How difficult is the situation that you

:04:25. > :04:30.had to deal with on a day`to`day basis in Bradford? When you go

:04:31. > :04:30.through Bradford, you see flags and graffiti, you understand that

:04:31. > :04:31.through Bradford, you see flags and graffiti, you understand th`t there

:04:32. > :04:33.graffiti, you understand that there are problems. The key thing I would

:04:34. > :04:34.say is that Bradford has been are problems. The key thing I would

:04:35. > :04:39.say is that Bradford has bedn a city that has welcomed all sorts of

:04:40. > :04:41.people. It is a city where there many groups from many different

:04:42. > :04:44.communities and there has bden a communities and there has been a

:04:45. > :04:47.great deal of tolerance. We have to hope sanity rails and that we keep

:04:48. > :04:56.good relations between all groups in the city. `` sanity prevails. Your

:04:57. > :04:59.work goes on? My work to maintain unity goes on, we had all f`iths

:05:00. > :05:00.work goes on? My work to mahntain unity goes on, we had all faiths and

:05:01. > :05:15.we work together. Thanks very much indeed for joining us.

:05:16. > :05:22.At the site upgrades in Dewsbury today, family said they were

:05:23. > :05:24.today, family said they werd disgusted.

:05:25. > :05:26.It is just a few months since Christina's mum died.

:05:27. > :05:29.This is the plot in Thornhill Parish Church where her ashes were buried.

:05:30. > :05:32.Since then she has tended the grave, decorating it with personal touches.

:05:33. > :05:34.Then last night she found out the flowers

:05:35. > :05:37.and handmade ornaments had been removed and put in plastic bags

:05:38. > :05:41.It's disgusting and it's heartbreaking.

:05:42. > :05:54.This is the place where people come to remember them.

:05:55. > :06:00.For Claire too, who has her mum and sister buried here, there is a sense

:06:01. > :06:03.of shock at the way their bdlongings have been treated and what she says

:06:04. > :06:13.Bin men could have come and just picked that up and thought, that's

:06:14. > :06:19.No notification to no familhes, nothing.

:06:20. > :06:22.But the diocese say they did try and tell people.

:06:23. > :06:24.This poster was put up and in a statement,

:06:25. > :06:36.But that suggestion, that graves were untended,

:06:37. > :06:43.As you can see, there's flowers everywhere,

:06:44. > :06:46.a lot of people come to this grave, it is maintained regularly.

:06:47. > :06:49.I just don't understand the ethos behind it at all.

:06:50. > :06:51.The church are yet to fully put their side of events,

:06:52. > :06:55.but say they are saddened that a resolution could not be found.

:06:56. > :06:58.Meanwhile, many families have redecorated their graves

:06:59. > :07:08.A man has been left seriously ill after he was bitten by snake whilst

:07:09. > :07:15.The 44`year`old was visiting Dalby Forest, near Pickering, when he was

:07:16. > :07:18.bitten three times by an adder which it is understood he picked tp.

:07:19. > :07:25.It is the most venomous snake native to Britain.

:07:26. > :07:27.And yesterday a Doncaster man was bitten by one

:07:28. > :07:32.The attack happened in the Dixon's Hollow area of the forest,

:07:33. > :07:37.Adders aren't normally aggressive but it's understood the man picked

:07:38. > :07:40.the snake off the ground here before it bit him three times, injdcting

:07:41. > :07:47.The snake no doubt acting in self defence.

:07:48. > :07:50.An off`duty paramedic was able to give immediate assistance to

:07:51. > :07:54.the man and he was airlifted to hospital in Middlesbrough.

:07:55. > :07:56.Dalby Forest provides a perfect habitat for adders

:07:57. > :08:05.It is like anything else, we're stood here now, if

:08:06. > :08:09.a huge hand came out of the sky and picked us up, we would be terrified

:08:10. > :08:13.and we would be kicking and fighting and all the rest of it.

:08:14. > :08:16.I must have seen hundreds if not thousands of adders `nd I

:08:17. > :08:22.400,000 people visit Dalby Forest every year.

:08:23. > :08:27.Yesterday's adder attack hasn't kept people away.

:08:28. > :08:30.I know they are in the forest because we bike

:08:31. > :08:33.in the forest, but we wouldn't go anywhere near them because they are

:08:34. > :08:39.If you see a snake, no matter what sort of snake, you wouldn't exactly

:08:40. > :09:03.Severe or multiple bites have to be treated with antivenom medication

:09:04. > :09:09.Stay with us, plenty still to come before seven o'clock.

:09:10. > :09:11.Yes, we meet somebody who puts our tandem experience into perspective.

:09:12. > :09:14.A Leeds cyclist has ridden his bike not just all over

:09:15. > :09:25.Yorkshire, but all over the world, to raise money for charity.

:09:26. > :11:10.Life has been up and down recently for the past few years.

:11:11. > :11:12.The more people who register to be a donor,

:11:13. > :11:22.This isn't the end of Ryan's story as he will need anothdr

:11:23. > :11:25.For now, though, he is setting his sights

:11:26. > :11:40.Good luck, all the very best. I m sure he will do us proud.

:11:41. > :11:43.More sport now and in cricket, Yorkshire have moved to the top

:11:44. > :11:46.of Group A in the One`Day Ctp with a comfortable win over

:11:47. > :11:48.The visitors won the toss and chose to bat,

:11:49. > :11:51.but they were all out for jtst 41, Tim Bresnan taking four wickets.

:11:52. > :11:54.Yorkshire were never in any real trouble in reply,

:11:55. > :12:00.reaching their target with just under 20 overs to spare.

:12:01. > :12:03.Now we're long overdue a victory in the Challenge Cup ` the highlight

:12:04. > :12:08.Bradford Bulls were our last team to do it 11 years ago.

:12:09. > :12:11.But this weekend we go into the semi`finals with two teams

:12:12. > :12:14.who have a chance of making it to the final at Wembley.

:12:15. > :12:20.One of these will be a great story, if Castleford can do it. Thdy

:12:21. > :12:22.certainly start them young in the Rugby league card land of

:12:23. > :12:25.Castleford. Summer camps the kids Castleford. Summer camps thd kids

:12:26. > :12:29.are just one way of passing on the passion and the children here are

:12:30. > :12:34.keen on their team's chances of getting to Wembley. It will be great

:12:35. > :12:41.to win the challenge cup, if we could win it. We want to win, we've

:12:42. > :12:47.got to just really play our hearts out. Castleford Tigers have

:12:48. > :12:52.surpassed all expectations this season. The highlights, amidst many

:12:53. > :12:54.highs, was their challenge cup quarterfinal win over the holders,

:12:55. > :12:59.Wigan. The small rugby leagte town Wigan. The small rugby league town

:13:00. > :13:03.was back and beating the big boys. Clubs like Castleford need to be

:13:04. > :13:07.strong for rugby league. It is not a big city but it is a pretty fervent

:13:08. > :13:08.rugby league town and historically, that is the way rugby leagud

:13:09. > :13:11.rugby league town and historically, that is the way rugby league has

:13:12. > :13:19.been. You should be holding onto your history with everything that

:13:20. > :13:22.you can. The last time classy Castleford won the cup was hn 1 86.

:13:23. > :13:24.Castleford won the cup was in 1986. That was the year that the club s

:13:25. > :13:30.That was the year that the club's current captain and hometown boy was

:13:31. > :13:34.born. So special so hard to talk about to you at the minute because

:13:35. > :13:35.there is such a big game and it would be disrespectful, I rdckon, to

:13:36. > :13:40.would be disrespectful, I reckon, to talk about that. We will show

:13:41. > :13:41.witness Max respect they deserve and like I said, whoever wins, it will

:13:42. > :13:48.like I said, whoever wins, ht will be well deserved. `` show Widnes the

:13:49. > :13:54.be well deserved. `` show Whdnes the respect. The Leeds Rhinos last won

:13:55. > :13:58.the cup in 1999. Since then, a golden generation of players have

:13:59. > :14:03.won everything except the showpiece of rugby league. Their latest

:14:04. > :14:07.disappointment was two years ago against this weekend's opposition,

:14:08. > :14:09.Warrington. It hasn't been ` great competition for us, but hopefully

:14:10. > :14:17.competition for us, but hopdfully that can change. We can sit and well

:14:18. > :14:19.on it, we can sit and worry about it and be concerned with it, or we can

:14:20. > :14:23.get on with it, roll our sleeves up get on with it, roll our sldeves up

:14:24. > :14:27.and give it our best shot. That is what we intend to do. So, the Leeds

:14:28. > :14:30.Rhinos believe they have wh`t it takes to be at Wembley but it is

:14:31. > :14:38.hard not to think this could be the year of the Tiger. And if it was, it

:14:39. > :14:41.would be one of the best stories in sport.

:14:42. > :14:44.Now we're marking 100 years since World War One this year across the

:14:45. > :14:47.BBC, and this week we're brhnging you more stories from our region.

:14:48. > :14:54.Tonight's story is about thd discovery of a series of trenches

:14:55. > :14:57.on hills overlooking Redmires Reservoirs in Sheffield, whhch were

:14:58. > :15:03.But they were only found around 15 years ago
