:01:30. > :01:33.The council describes them as 'loss`making'.
:01:34. > :01:37.Free town buses in Dewsbury and Huddersfield could also be axed.
:01:38. > :01:40.And all but two museums would be closed, with funding also being cut
:01:41. > :01:45.A pretty grim picture, as our political editor Len Tingle
:01:46. > :01:57.Brian Bailey knows a thing or two about cuts and not just from the
:01:58. > :02:02.decade he spent slicing ham. His store here has been in the threat of
:02:03. > :02:09.closure several times since the public spending cuts started and
:02:10. > :02:17.it's now in the firing line again. We've been here as a business since
:02:18. > :02:22.1954. It's a busy market for us. Bradley in West Yorkshire has had a
:02:23. > :02:29.market in its square since before the Victorian buildings. Birstall
:02:30. > :02:35.has its twin. Both are run by Kirklees Council. They say that rent
:02:36. > :02:42.for the markets don't meet costs. There are now on a list of potential
:02:43. > :02:49.closures to help find savings. Local stallholders don't see it that way.
:02:50. > :02:53.It's a bit of a shock. It's my livelihood. Nobody has had the
:02:54. > :03:03.decency to let us know what is going on. Potential savings will start
:03:04. > :03:06.months of meetings before budget decisions are made. It has never
:03:07. > :03:12.been done this way before but other councils are likely to follow its
:03:13. > :03:20.lead. The council's conservative opposition has a different view. You

:03:31. > :03:36.community to make sure that we get proper decision`making. There is a
:03:37. > :03:40.long way to go before decisions are made. The only thing that is clear
:03:41. > :03:48.is that, unless these cuts are made, councils like this will finish up
:03:49. > :03:55.being technically brown cropped `` bankrupt.
:03:56. > :03:58.Well, earlier we spoke to Councillor Keith Wakefield, who's the leader of
:03:59. > :04:01.neighbouring Leeds City Council, and I began by asking for his reaction
:04:02. > :04:14.It's not usually my remit to talk about enabling authorities. I think
:04:15. > :04:19.Kirklees Council are one of the first of many who will do so over
:04:20. > :04:25.the next few months, mentioning the scale of the challenge they have. We
:04:26. > :04:30.have all faced tough decisions. Some may be tougher than Kirklees
:04:31. > :04:33.Council, some maybe not as tough, so you really feel for colleagues in
:04:34. > :04:39.the public sector who are making difficult decisions like that. How
:04:40. > :04:43.do you feel about what you're going to have to do? There are big
:04:44. > :04:48.challenges and we have to stay determined and do everything we can
:04:49. > :04:52.to protect the vulnerable people like we have done your last few
:04:53. > :05:00.years. But it is not an easy challenge and I can't guarantee
:05:01. > :05:07.that. Tour de France started in Leeds. Is the city reaping the
:05:08. > :05:11.benefits? There's no doubt that the response we have had from the people
:05:12. > :05:21.of Leeds and Yorkshire has given us a tremendous boost. What we had was
:05:22. > :05:24.the best marketing exercise, advertising that money can't buy.
:05:25. > :05:30.Millions on the streets, people immensely proud and emotional about
:05:31. > :05:34.what we achieved together. And you've got ambitious plans. You're
:05:35. > :05:43.talking about the Commonwealth Games. You mad? No. It's the result
:05:44. > :05:47.of this being a huge success and people feel a sense of pride. When
:05:48. > :05:53.you go through austerity, people like to come out and happy day
:05:54. > :06:03.forgetting all the challenges and problems `` have A.D. , and
:06:04. > :06:08.celebrate success. People think we should bet for the Commonwealth
:06:09. > :06:14.Games. We had a call this morning for someone who thinks we want to
:06:15. > :06:17.bid for the Ryder Cup. We've had people say, keep going, be
:06:18. > :06:22.ambitious, because that's what we really need in times of austerity.
:06:23. > :06:27.There's the money there to do all this? We have to go to the
:06:28. > :06:32.Government and partners, but the determination is there. We want to
:06:33. > :06:34.make sure that Leeds and Yorkshire can look forward to big, world`class
:06:35. > :06:38.events. Now, there have been more

:07:08. > :07:13.investigation is still in its early stages. It was a surge that lasted
:07:14. > :07:20.about five hours at Cliff Richard's penthouse apartment in the secluded
:07:21. > :07:26.development in Berkshire yesterday. Officers recovered a number of items
:07:27. > :07:30.that they have been examining today. After that search was publicised to
:07:31. > :07:33.media, a number of people have come forward to provide information. We
:07:34. > :07:37.don't know any more about who those people are what the nature of the
:07:38. > :07:43.information is, whether it relates to the allegation or not.
:07:44. > :07:54.It's not exactly clear. We've heard nothing more from Cliff Richard
:07:55. > :08:00.since yesterday. The event relates to an event in Sheffield in 1985. It
:08:01. > :08:08.was the preacher from the United States holding an event here. It's
:08:09. > :08:13.about sexual assault on a boy who was under 16 at the time. But
:08:14. > :08:19.Richard said yesterday the allegation was completely false. We
:08:20. > :08:23.understand he is still in Portugal, there has been activity there today
:08:24. > :08:30.at his villa but he said he would cooperate fully and officers want to

:09:42. > :09:47.The whole thing starts off by saying we have to learn to do a lot more
:09:48. > :09:51.with a lot less. We already have some of the lowest investment in
:09:52. > :09:59.real ways in the North. We had to have fears that are affordable for
:10:00. > :10:05.local people. I don't believe that this particular document does any of
:10:06. > :10:10.that, it feels on every point. As the Government says, Northern Rail
:10:11. > :10:15.receives large amounts of public money, the most subsidised in the
:10:16. > :10:28.country, with just 66% of revenue coming from passengers. They point
:10:29. > :10:37.to a station Lakes last week `` like this. It attracts 200,000 passengers
:10:38. > :10:42.every year. It is very much the responsibility of Government in the
:10:43. > :10:48.first place to say, we are going to invest so that over time, the actual
:10:49. > :10:52.running costs of franchises like Northern Rail will come down.
:10:53. > :11:00.Otherwise, you will end up having to pay at the same levels of subsidy,
:11:01. > :11:05.so you do need to make a change. The tone of this controversial document
:11:06. > :11:09.is that the North can't have everything. Passengers can get new
:11:10. > :11:13.trains and stations, but fares will rise significantly under may be less
:11:14. > :11:16.staff employed. No decisions have been made yet. The consultation on

:11:22. > :11:40.in Yorkshire are already costing There are some interesting figures.
:11:41. > :11:52.Every passenger goes ten kilometres, the government is putting in 70p. If
:11:53. > :11:57.you can pay to the big operators, it goes through some of the richest

:22:17. > :22:29.Joe Inwood can hopefully tell us more.
:22:30. > :22:38.Enthusiastic, yes. But I don't know that much about cars. There are

:24:01. > :24:07.As you can see, some real characters here this weekend. Some interesting
:24:08. > :24:17.stories behind the cars. A man who can tell us one is this organiser
:24:18. > :24:23.here. This is a special VWs year. An old lady whose husband had died had
:24:24. > :24:27.this car in the garage. She gave us it as long as it went to a good
:24:28. > :24:33.cause. She knew that the festival was a good cause. It isn't just
:24:34. > :24:39.about charity, it's about fun as well. It's all about families.
:24:40. > :24:47.Everything from cans and fairground rides to dog shows. This isn't only
:24:48. > :24:59.for shiny cars, but rusty cars. There is live music, to. We're
:25:00. > :25:05.hoping for 15,000 people if the weather holds up. 100,000 people
:25:06. > :25:10.have come over nine years. Paul, there, saving thousands of people

:26:47. > :26:52.have been heavy, not as much as yesterday, and they will ease over
