David Crompton and the Director General of the

BBC Lord Hall face serious questioning as the row between

:01:14.:01:16.

the two bodies escalated today over the reporting of the search of Sir

Cliff Richard's home in Berkshire. Sir Cliff says an allegation

:01:20.:01:32.

against him of a sex attack on a child in the 1980s

:01:33.:01:34.

is completely false. Our Crime Correspondent John Cundy

questions: When it did in the BBC reporter learned about the planned a

inappropriately? Who in the force knew about the planned search, when

was the best team made aware of it, how common is it to warn that the

media about plans such as in advance and was the search delayed or

:02:32.:02:34.

brought forward as the result of what has happened.

:02:35.:02:41.

When police searched Sir Cliff Richard's home in

:02:42.:02:43.

Berkshire last week, questions were asked how the BBC knew to be there.

:02:44.:02:46.

South Yorkshire Police have acknowledged that they confirmed to

:02:47.:02:48.

a BBC reporter the date of the search but this had been only

:02:49.:02:51.

because the reporter had told them he already knew of the investigation

:02:52.:02:54.

in advance and had agreed not to go public beforehand to protect

:02:55.:02:57.

Today the office of South Yorkshire's Police Commissioner,

:02:58.:03:01.

Questions needed to be answered, said the Commissioner

:03:02.:03:22.

about the original source of the leak, which he said had put

:03:23.:03:26.

the police in a difficult position when approached by the media.

:03:27.:03:28.

South Yorkshire Police say they were not the source of the leak.

:03:29.:03:33.

The allegations against Sir Cliff date back to an Evangelist rally

:03:34.:03:58.

at the Sheffield United football ground in the 1980s.

:03:59.:04:03.

A boy under the age of 16 at the time has alleged he was

:04:04.:04:06.

Sir Cliff has said any allegations against him are completely false.

:04:07.:04:12.

It is understood he has not yet been questioned by police.

The chair of the home affairs select committee has demanded answers from

:04:24.:04:29.

the Chief Constable and from the director`general of the BBC. By

Friday lunch time. And he says that both of those men face questioning

by the home affairs select committee in some depth when Parliament comes

back from recess. Thank you. Now it's been a historic weekend

for Sheffield's Kell Brook, who's realised his life`long dream of

:04:58.:04:59.

becoming a boxing world champion. He defeated American fighter Shawn

the cleaner shots. Achieving a lifelong dream

:06:05.:06:09.

could take time to sink in. But the following morning he had

:06:10.:06:12.

time to reflect with his family It doesn't get any

:06:13.:06:16.

better than last night. I have been walking

:06:17.:06:21.

around California on my own, Since I put my first pair of boxing

:06:22.:06:27.

gloves on to see special fighters and other top fighters in the gym

:06:28.:06:33.

and the cameras and I just thought, I have stuck in there

:06:34.:06:36.

and now I am champion of the world. the American champion ` and I

:06:37.:06:47.

have come and took it off him. Not many fighters do that

:06:48.:06:57.

from Britain so I am ecstatic. The memory

:06:58.:07:00.

of Kells' victory is something One thing

:07:01.:07:01.

it and just being together. enjoying the moment

:07:15.:07:23.

and just counting his blessings. No one really gave him a chance out

:07:24.:07:49.

there? All the British press and American press, they had wrote him

:07:50.:08:03.

off. They thought Sean Porter. I've seen the determination in him from

:08:04.:08:06.

an early age. We recognise that when he first came into a gym. Some

:08:07.:08:12.

champions over the years. He has had this lifelong ambition to following

:08:13.:08:15.

the footsteps of all the other champions and that has been kept

:08:16.:08:19.

alive. You get the feeling as well but it is not only a dream come true

:08:20.:08:24.

for him but all family as well. He has got a massive family behind. His

:08:25.:08:32.

mum, his dad, all his family. He was going into that ring with all of

:08:33.:08:35.

them behind him and he has pulled it off. That's division is stacked full

:08:36.:08:47.

of super fighters, I would say? Is he now going to get the chance to

:08:48.:08:52.

take on other fighters? The top three fighters on the three main

:08:53.:09:07.

champions. It looks like he is on the horizon. Hopefully sometime in

:09:08.:09:12.

the new year. Defence before Christmas. Army I was going to ask

:09:13.:09:46.

about the gym. This incredible place you have inherited. How do you

:09:47.:09:52.

produce champions there, time after time? Time and effort. He has been

:09:53.:09:58.

doing it for years and I think in the last years it has produced four

:09:59.:10:04.

champions. It is a case of finding the kids who are determined to do it

:10:05.:10:08.

and guiding them down the route. He has done it. The gym celebrate 50

:10:09.:10:13.

years at this year so it is a double win for you? We have topped it off

:10:14.:10:21.

with him at winning the world title. It is probably three in the morning

:10:22.:10:25.

for you at the moment. Something like that. Thank you.

Uncovering treasures hidden for centuries `

:10:29.:10:30.

we're at the house hiding a secret staircase with a world`famous place

:10:31.:10:33.

Last summer's heatwave has led to record numbers of people visiting

:10:34.:10:40.

Figures out today reveal York's had its best year for tourism in

:10:41.:10:45.

a decade with hotel occupancy rates for 2013 reaching a record high.

:10:46.:10:52.

'Visit York' monitors visitor numbers to

:10:53.:10:54.

Tourism bosses say they're on track to achieve a billion pound

:10:55.:11:02.

The RMT rail union has been staging a protest outside the Department

:11:03.:11:10.

for Transport in London today as part of its campaign against cuts

:11:11.:11:14.

The union says there are plans to raise fares and reduce services

:11:15.:11:19.

on the Northern and Trans Pennine franchises.

:11:20.:11:23.

But the government says it's consulting on possible changes

:11:24.:11:25.

An auction of stones and timbers from York Minster has

:11:26.:11:29.

raised over ?44 thousand towards on`going conservation works to

:11:30.:11:33.

The event last Friday attracted hundreds of people eager to take

:11:34.:11:40.

home a souvenir from the historic building.

:11:41.:11:43.

The stones had been removed over recent years during works to

:11:44.:11:45.

conserve the masonry and replaced with new stone, while the timbers

:11:46.:11:49.

were removed following the 1984 fire in the South Transept.

:11:50.:11:56.

A Leeds eye surgeon says he's concerned that people with

:11:57.:11:58.

a condition which leads to the gradual loss of vision, are waiting

:11:59.:12:01.

He's warning that this could leave them facing a major transplant

:12:02.:12:08.

operation to correct their vision, rather than minor surgery.

:12:09.:12:11.

We should warn you there are some images of surgery in Shirley Henry's

:12:12.:12:14.

He is undergoing the next phase of minor surgery to improve his sight.

:12:15.:12:27.

He has a degenerative eye condition but for years thought

:12:28.:12:30.

Before I used to think my eyesight was alright.

:12:31.:12:36.

I used to see, like, general things but when it used to

:12:37.:12:38.

come to really small letters and numbers I could not see them.

:12:39.:12:41.

At the start I didn't think much of it but eventually it came to a

:12:42.:12:45.

It was a bit scary at that time, yeah.

:12:46.:12:49.

It is a genetically inherited disease that changes the shape

:12:50.:12:51.

of the cornea from a curve to a cone like bulge, the symptoms

:12:52.:12:56.

Consultants say without early diagnosis, patients could face

:12:57.:13:00.

We have good evidence now that if we can see patients early on

:13:01.:13:08.

in the condition, by using these newer technologies we can stop the

:13:09.:13:11.

progression of the disease and allow the patient to keep their own cornea

:13:12.:13:14.

and get normal visual function back for them. This surgery

:13:15.:13:20.

And he can go back to his normal routine.

:13:21.:13:25.

But major transplant surgery can take several weeks or even months

:13:26.:13:29.

for a patient to make a full recovery.

:13:30.:13:32.

So how are your eyes feeling right now?

:13:33.:13:37.

I just had some drops in there so it is just making it

:13:38.:13:42.

a bit fuzzy but in a couple of days I will see a difference, hopefully.

:13:43.:13:46.

Consultants are optimistic he will see a continuous improvement

:13:47.:13:50.

A beautiful old house in North Yorkshire has won

:13:51.:14:00.

Over the last eight years, Norton Conyers, near Ripon, has

:14:01.:14:07.

been sensitively and painstakingly restored after death watch beetle

:14:08.:14:09.

It could have been disastrous, but the Historic Houses Association

:14:10.:14:14.

has paid tribute to the perseverance and patience of the owners

:14:15.:14:18.

by bestowing its 2014 restoration award on the house, which will

:14:19.:14:22.

Cathy Killick's been to see what's been achieved.

:14:23.:14:59.

It has been the home of 11 generations, each making their mark

:15:00.:15:07.

on this house. Norton Conyers, near Ripon. This is a house you can feel

:15:08.:15:12.

like an onion. Every layer reveals some mystery from the past. Nothing

:15:13.:15:16.

is quite what it seems. At first glance. Secret staircase. Charlotte

Jane air. She imagines Mrs Rochester living secretly at the top. It is

:15:33.:15:36.

not the only secret hidden away. These exceptionally rare Tudor

:15:37.:15:41.

boards were found during the restoration work. They're painted

:15:42.:15:45.

patterns give way to wallpaper discovered behind panels and

:15:46.:15:50.

preserved as a record. Other scraps have been salvaged and faithfully

reproduced including a sample behind the head housemates cupboard. ``

:16:24.:16:31.

badly damaged. On several occasions we had to move out of the house for

:16:32.:16:37.

days if not weeks at a time. The time and care taken richly deserves

:16:38.:16:43.

that the restoration award. July next year is when it is scheduled to

:16:44.:16:45.

reopen. They grafted for it

:16:46.:16:54.

but it was a win for Rotherham when Championship football finally

:16:55.:16:57.

came to the New York stadium. And he's a hunk of burning love `

Victor the 75`stone polar bear moves Well, it's already been quite

Nicola Adams, the Brownlees and all those other medallists

:17:23.:17:24.

at the Commonwealth Games. This Saturday will see

:17:25.:17:27.

the first all`Yorkshire Challenge Cup Final since 2005

:17:28.:17:34.

when the Leeds Rhinos take on Matt Slater has been to meet

:17:35.:17:37.

the teams. Back in May 1986. This was

:17:38.:18:06.

Castleford's last major trophy. We still have some tough times. For the

:18:07.:18:18.

club in town it is massive for us. `` club and time. Real life in the

:18:19.:18:25.

club of longevity in what we do and for us it has maintained that. Give

:18:26.:18:30.

ourselves a great platform by performing superbly in this final

:18:31.:18:33.

and really proving to everybody that you do not need to reside in a big

:18:34.:18:39.

city to dine at the top table. The first all Yorkshire final since

:18:40.:18:47.

2005. There are so many angles. Undoubtedly one of them is right

:18:48.:19:00.

here. Leeds rhinos. When it leaves thrashed in the London Broncos in

:19:01.:19:06.

1999 it was their first trophy for a decade. Since then the club is on

:19:07.:19:11.

everything else apart from the cup. They lost six finals. A record that

:19:12.:19:16.

might crush lesser men than the captain. I just think of the group

:19:17.:19:23.

feel like that. When you take the finals at we have got a good record

:19:24.:19:27.

in this cup and the fact that we have not been good enough on final

:19:28.:19:31.

day we have to live with that. We would love to win it. It is indeed

:19:32.:19:36.

true. We would love to win it but we've got to be good enough. No

:19:37.:19:46.

inferiority complex. This is another chance to showcase in the region

:19:47.:19:49.

pedigree. This week and we're flying the flag again. Everyone will be in

:19:50.:19:56.

London so the fact that with two teams are so close to each other

:19:57.:19:59.

both from Yorkshire appearing in this final it is great news.

:20:00.:20:03.

Yorkshire cannot lose them? If only every couple was like that. `` every

:20:04.:20:08.

cup was like that. And don't forget you can see action

:20:09.:20:17.

from all the weekend's Super League games on the Superleague Show

:20:18.:20:20.

at 11.35 tonight on BBC1. On to football now ` and it was

:20:21.:20:23.

a busy weekend in the league ` with There were four wins,

:20:24.:20:27.

three losses and three draws. Here's Joe Inwood `

:20:28.:20:30.

with a look at the sides who managed It was not a classic but a top`class

:20:31.:20:46.

performance in goal. This double save it kept to the game scoreless.

:20:47.:20:54.

An unorthodox finish. But they all count. We got the first point. First

:20:55.:21:02.

three points. Welcome to the championship because it is another

:21:03.:21:06.

tough afternoon for us. Every game will be tough. It was the same

:21:07.:21:13.

scoreline here. The new signing got the new manager his first league

:21:14.:21:17.

win. Leeds were fortunate not to be behind. That meant it was all three

:21:18.:21:31.

points to Leeds. It was a tough game and tight game. There was a few

:21:32.:21:39.

chances, it took a chance to sneak a win for us. Two of our teams managed

:21:40.:21:44.

to win. Chesterfield took three points in a game decided by

:21:45.:21:55.

penalties. Two for the home side. Barnsley face Crewe. They got their

:21:56.:22:07.

revenge. With goals. If you want to see the rest of this week and's

:22:08.:22:12.

action it is available on BBC I plough. `` right player.

:22:13.:22:18.

In cricket, Yorkshire have taken a big step towards winning

:22:19.:22:21.

They bowled out Sussex for 230 at Scarborough this afternoon

:22:22.:22:24.

and easily chased their target of 106 ` with nine wickets to spare.

:22:25.:22:27.

It means Yorkshire are six points clear at

:22:28.:22:29.

It's been a bit chillier recently ` we'll get the weather in a second `

:22:30.:22:40.

but that nip in the air didn't bother Doncaster's newest resident.

:22:41.:22:42.

Victor the polar bear has arrived at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park

:22:43.:22:45.

and was settling into his new enclosure today.

:22:46.:22:49.

The 15`year`old has moved over from Holland as part of a conservation

:22:50.:22:52.

project ` and after fathering 10 cubs he deserves a bit of a rest.

:22:53.:22:55.

He is a big lad, Victor, and up close he is even bigger.

:22:56.:23:04.

Today he was getting used to his new home.

:23:05.:23:09.

It isn't the Arctic so the water is a little easier to bear.

:23:10.:23:12.

It is a massive deal for us and it is a massive deal

:23:13.:23:15.

I mean, Project Polar, which is what we have called these

:23:16.:23:22.

reserves ` this is just the first one ? it is a very dynamic project,

:23:23.:23:26.

something which is going to combine conservation and welfare for the

:23:27.:23:28.

He has been exploring all morning and having fun in the water

:23:29.:23:33.

Eating some fish, eating some meat as well.

:23:34.:23:35.

He is the first polar bear in England for 15 years.

:23:36.:23:38.

The Yorkshire Wildlife Park hope they will have 10 in the end.

:23:39.:23:43.

Victor is the biggest animal the Yorkshire Wildlife Park has

:23:44.:23:47.

got, certainly in terms of drawing an audience.

:23:48.:23:49.

In five years the attraction has gone

:23:50.:23:50.

from a small riding centre to having the only polar bear in England.

:23:51.:23:53.

He will have 10 acres to roam in and a lake that is eight metres deep.

:23:54.:23:57.

You really do appreciate the size and scale he is.

:23:58.:24:02.

In the winter when he's putting on the weight to keep him going

:24:03.:24:08.

through the summer months next year he will be well over 500 kilos.

:24:09.:24:11.

In the winter when he's gorging on fat, lots of fish, lots

:24:12.:24:15.

of cod liver oil we're talking 40 or 50 kilos of meat or food a day.

:24:16.:24:19.

It was the first time Victor got to meet the public today

:24:20.:24:28.

and you got the impression he was showing off a bit.

:24:29.:24:31.

I like them because how they like the north so much, how they

:24:32.:24:34.

Because he is so big and fluffy and he just looks like a massive teddy

:24:35.:24:43.

They can go hunting very very quietly.

:24:44.:24:52.

I don't understand why there is no ice, though.

:24:53.:24:55.

His enclosure is actually based on the summer months in the Arctic.

:24:56.:25:00.

Give him a few weeks and he'll be right at home.

:25:01.:25:03.

At least someone is enjoying their tea.

:25:04.:25:21.

It is cooler so he will be more comfortable. Temperatures this week

:25:22.:25:32.

more like what we expected in May. If you are in the shade it will feel

:25:33.:25:37.

cool. There will be some sunny spells tomorrow. Some photographs

:25:38.:25:56.

now. Taking this morning at the peak district. We've had some showers

:25:57.:26:07.

today right across. Keep your pictures coming in. There are so

:26:08.:26:15.

some heavy showers up there at the moment. They will die away and for

:26:16.:26:21.

most places it will be largely dry tomorrow and cool. The reason for

:26:22.:26:24.

that is because we are getting higher from the Arctic. `` getting

:26:25.:26:38.

our a. You can make out the clouds on the satellite picture. Got some

:26:39.:26:41.

heavy ones out there at the moment but they are easing from the West.

:26:42.:26:47.

They will clear away eastwards overnight. For much of the night
