First tonight, flash flooding has caused disruption | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
Heavy rain has led to several road closures in our region. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
Our reporter David Tracz has the latest. | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
Well, the M606 northbound has been closed due to flooding between | :00:31. | :00:32. | |

In South Yorkshire, the Barnsley Interchange has been | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
closed on safety grounds because of standing water. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
The fire brigade have spent the evening clearing water | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
from Tadcaster main street, while this is the scene in Kippax ` | :00:52. | :00:54. | |

Meanwhile, in Pontefract, emergency crews have spent | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
the evening clearing water away from the ground floor of The Prince | :01:11. | :01:13. | |

We are quite in need of probably sandbags and anything that can keep | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
the water away from the hospice as the forecast for the weekend is | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
actually going to get worse, so there is the potential that although | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
we have cleaned up some of the water this evening, | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
we will encounter the same problem on Saturday and probably on Sunday, | :01:48. | :01:50. | |

Police investigating the murder of Gemma Simpson have confirmed | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
that they've found human remains, 14 years | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
Gemma disappeared in May 2000 after telling | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
a friend she was catching a bus from her home in Harehills to Leeds city | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
Police have recently been conducting enquiries in the vicinity of | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
Formal identification of the remains is yet to take place, but Gemma's | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
20,000 new jobs could be created in Doncaster. | :02:31. | :02:41. | |
The council says it's ahead of schedule building a link road to | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
It's a huge project, costing nearly ?60 million. | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
It'll involve thousands of houses, a distribution centre and better | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
It'll be finished in just over a year, but there are already | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
It will be the big international players looking to provide a hub | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
of logistics at this area but also as the strategic rail freight | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
interchanges develops on, there will be opportunities for all sorts of | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
commerce and industry as part of this development park. | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
A cyclist who died on a dual carriageway in Dronfield | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
has been identified a week after a collision with a car. | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
The family of Malcolm Cottam from Sheffield have confirmed it's him. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
The police had released an E`FIT of Mr Cottam in the hope | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
On Thursday afternoon last week, he was riding a Carrera bike when he | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
collided with a Citroen on the A61 and suffered fatal head injuries. | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
Scores of childless couples living in the York area have had their | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
hopes of IVF treatment dashed after health officials backtracked on | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
In June, they agreed they would fund one cycle of IVF from this year. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
But now they've changed their minds, saying they can't afford to pay | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
At the moment York is the only city in England not | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
offering fertility treatment free on the health service. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
That compares with Leeds, which offers couples one cycle. | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Couples in South Yorkshire fare slightly | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
better with Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham all offering two, and top | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
of the table is Bassetlaw in North Nottinghamshire, where the NHS will | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
For three years Karen and Peter Boardman's lives have been dominated | :04:10. | :04:24. | |
They don't understand what it is like to have that burning need | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
and desire right in your heart that you want to have a family. | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
And when you marry someone you meet them and you want to create life | :04:40. | :04:48. | |
with them, you are just denied that opportunity and that is absolutely | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
soul destroying. Their first IVF appointment is in | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
two weeks and they were hoping it would be paid for by the NHS. | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
Everything seems to be like a postcode lottery. In June, there | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
commissioning body said they would be A4160 couple but that's changed | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
last night when NHS bosses said they could not afford it. We are not able | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
to fund this at all because we are millions of pounds in the red. I am | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
a family doctor and there will be the likes of grandad who may need | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
his hat replaced, grandma needs services to support her as well, the | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
daughter may have best cancer and be having treatment and then you have | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
the grand daughter who wants to have IVF. I am absolutely shocked, I | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
relate thought there would be something, no matter how small, even | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
if it was just the bare bones, I thought it would be a step forward | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
and I hoped there would be a glimmer of hope and I was waiting yesterday | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
to find out what it was. Yorked does not have an IVF unit saw hundreds | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
come to this unit in Seacroft. They have to be able to pay for the money | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
which could be around ?500,000, most couples need to or three cycles to | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
achieve a pregnancy. The Leeds IVF unit has been inundated with calls | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
from residents and anticipating free treatment. For some, the decision of | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
Jock not to find at least one cycle means IVF will be impossible, others | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
will find a way to pay. After the bad weather today, you | :06:30. | :06:50. | |
will be pleased that tomorrow is going to be a better day, | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Sunday! To make it well | :06:54. | :07:06. | |
however Campbell and a little bit with temperatures around 14 Celsius. | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
`` tonight. On Saturday morning there could be one or two isolated | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
showers but generally fine and dry. Temperatures will lift to 20 or 21 | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
Celsius. Some heavy rain for Sunday and it will be windy overnight into | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
Monday and unsettled next week. Here is the summary. Good night. | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
Good evening. We saw some torrential thunderstorms earlier today. | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
Tomorrow looks like a better day for most places. It will go downhill | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
into Sunday. This is heading our way. This is a couple of day's worth | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
of satellite imagery. This is what was the | :07:53. | :07:53. |
