another dull and misty day. Join me for the detailed weekend forecast to | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
see if the sun will shame. `` shame. `` shine. | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
Good evening and welcome to the programmd. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
And to start the programme, we have some breaking news. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
The Director of Children's Services, Joyce Thacker, | :00:18. | :00:18. | |
She had come under increasing pressure to resign in the w`ke | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
of a report which detailed how 1,400 children had been sextally | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
Our reporter James Vincent hs outside Rotherham Town Hall. | :00:27. | :00:38. | |
There is a glowing `` growing list of high`profile vacancies in South | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
Yorkshire. Another one has been added to that list. We have had a | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
short statement on the last hour saying that he will leave bx mutual | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
agreement with immediate effect That does two things. It le`ves | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
Rotherham Council without a leader. Also it is in one of the kex areas | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
it has been criticised in the last three weeks since this report was | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
released. The pressure to resign has been | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
intense, has it not? Yes. There has been increashng | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
pressure on many people to consider what their desertions are worth an | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
Rotherham and South Yorkshire. `` to consider what their positions are. A | :01:34. | :01:44. | |
select committee earlier thhs month asked her that she may want to | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
resign her position. The rapists carried | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
on raping children. Our social workers | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
worked really hard. Did the rapist that did not get | :01:52. | :01:52. | |
prosecuted, the perpetrators, did they not carry | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
on raping children in Rotherham No, please, answer the question ` | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
they did or they didn?t? She is now the fourth person to | :01:59. | :02:25. | |
stand down. She is indeed. The Labour council | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
leader said he was stepping down also. A week or so later, Rotherham | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Council's Chief Executive s`id that he'd would step in `` said that he | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
would step down. On Tuesday, the elected Police Commissioner said | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
that he would finally steppdd down from his job as well. Tonight, the | :02:45. | :02:58. | |
number is for. `` four. It hs a very difficult time. Where is thd | :02:59. | :02:59. | |
leadership going to come from? There've been calls for Yorkshire to | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
be given similar spending powers to those now being promised | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
for the Scottish Parliament. Full independence was rejected | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
by the Referendum Vote in Scotland. The Prime Minister has promhsed | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
greater powers for England, So what would this mean herd | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
in Yorkshire, which has Our political editor, Len Thngle, | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
has been taking a look. Devolved powers, well, | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
Yorkshire has had them. The Council of the North usdd | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
operated from here, But it became too powerful | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
and was abolished. By the 20th century, | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
it was men in bowler hats m`king all the decisions on how taxpaydrs' | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
money should be spent in Yorkshire. But that could be about to change | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
thanks to government promisds that rejecting independence will see | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
more powers given to Scotland. Scotland will expect these to | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
be honoured in rapid course. So if Scotland has control over | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
its own economy, what will that mean So it follows that the people of | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
England, Wales and Northern Ireland And the timing could not be better | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
for Yorkshire, with Particularly with pictures | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
of the Tour de France on television In comparison to Scotland, | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
the population here is about the But whatever emerges, Scotl`nd's | :04:24. | :04:34. | |
boosted powers on spending, borrowing and possibly raishng their | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
own taxes, they will be admhnistered So what does the public in Xorkshire | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
want? If they give the power to the people | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
we will see what is going on. Politicians spend too much loney | :04:47. | :04:57. | |
at the moment anyway, so I think probably it is not | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
a good idea to set up anothdr I think there might be some scope | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
for some kind of local bodids to the taxation and raise taxation locally | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
for local needs by local le`ders. But | :05:08. | :05:16. | |
if there is to be no new assembly, Just one Council | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
of the North 350 years ago. Today, | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
at least four different Yorkshire bodies might have chunks of power in | :05:25. | :05:25. | |
any town or city across the county. The local council, the city region, | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
one of the new clusters of combined local authorities, or the btsiness | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
led local enterprise partnerships. We have lots and lots of laxers | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
of local government. And how do we get that a bit more | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
streamlined and how do we gdt people working between the different parts | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
of Yorkshire much more closdly? The government has promised that now | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
that the count is over, they will start negotiating with | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
the Scottish Parliament tod`y. There must be plenty of voices | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
in Yorkshire seeing So what could further powers | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
for Yorkshire look like? To discuss this, | :06:03. | :06:13. | |
we're joined by Peter Box, And Stewart Arnold, | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
Deputy Leader of Yorkshire First. He goes a step further, with | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
calls for a regional parlialent The Prime Minister has promhsed | :06:21. | :06:32. | |
those these extra powers. What form could take a? The first thing is to | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
say that I do not believe the creation of an English parlhament as | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
devolution. It has TB devolttion down to our regions. I did not also | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
think that the people want lore politicians. That is the last thing | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
that most people want. What do they want? What they want is mord power | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
to local people, using existing structures. It should be devolved. | :06:54. | :07:02. | |
They want a Yorkshire assembly, that is what Stewart says. The evidence | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
seems to be that they do want that. Where polls are carried out, people | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
rather like the idea of an assembly. What powers would you | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
have, that is what I want to know? Would you have the rates, which you | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
sort out what has a lot to do? In Scotland, the looking to get high | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
levels of devolution. I would go for that. Anything other than foreign | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
policy and macroeconomic policy Make the deficient `` bring the | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
decision`making much closer to home. That is absolutely normal appetite | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
for `` there was no appetitd Yorkshire Parliament ten ye`rs ago. | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
Has that changed? I think it has. Assemblies have become the common | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
currency of how we do our devolution. If it was put to the | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
people of Yorkshire, it may be a different result. It makes no sense | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
to have it make you manage from a desk in Whitehall Peter dis`grees | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
with that. I do not think hd understands what people really | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
think. They do not want mord politicians, more bureaucracy. Let | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
us try to work with what we have got. It is working so far. We have a | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
huge ambition for Yorkshire. What is needed as a huge ambition for | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
Yorkshire. What is needed as it turned that at least would give a | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
voice to whatever decision xou came up with. The more our funding is | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
cut, obviously people do not get interested, do not get involved My | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
argument is that the more power you give us, the more finding ndw | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
covers, the more people eng`ged At the end of the day, they can turn us | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
out. Is it more power, or more money? We want more power. | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
Specifically, what power. Over skills, transport and econolic `` | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
remuneration. We are sure that we can do things smarter and cheaper. | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
You want to take the money `nd decide how it is spent. Yes. There | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
has to be a national strategy for transport, for example, but once it | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
has been made, give it to others and we can decide. That is not `n offer. | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
We need far more powers to come to Yorkshire than the sort of thing is | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
that Peter wants. We want ftll devolution as far as possible, let | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
Yorkshire people decide thehr own fate. A lively debate. Thank you for | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
joining us. As the calls begin for further | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
devolution for Yorkshire, there are questions about how | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
the economy could be better run to Our business correspondent | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
Dani Hewson has been looking at the impact that new powers | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
for Scotland could have herd. You may wonder why a cleaning | :09:40. | :09:50. | |
product manufacturer in Bradford has been so concerned about Scotland's | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
decision. Look front and centre on their labels and you begin to | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
understand. The union flag hs a major selling point for thel, | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
particularly in places like Taiwan and China. Losing it was | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
unthinkable. This is obviously massively `` this has obviotsly | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
helped our export trade. Thd perception of British manuf`ctured | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
products is still in many m`rkets proceed as high`quality, as | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
something that is more premhum to what have locally. I would not like | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
to even think what sort of hmpact that would have had. Sigh of relief | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
from many for now. But what next? Over in Leeds, as they celebrate the | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
opening of a new manufacturhng plant, there was concern. Hd will | :10:38. | :10:45. | |
meet the decisions in the ftture, it devolution becomes a realitx here. | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
There's this is not like uncertainty `` uncertainty. And well Scottish | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
question has been settled, lany more questions remain unanswered. What | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
they hope is that we keep this in simple. If we add layers of | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
complexity in to our way of operations, without that is | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
regional, taxation, or other issues that come in, that can make life | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
very difficult for a business to manage. What better place to | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
speculate on the future than the trading for? Certainly, there will | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
be greater autonomy, but as I say, with greater democracy comes greater | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
cost, so could actually everybody be peeing more tax to Mac that is one | :11:29. | :11:37. | |
question that we want answered. `` trade we all be paying more tax | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
That this one question that we want answered. | :11:42. | :11:42. | |

Another big night of boxing for Sheffield. | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
Kid Galahad has his sights set on becoming the fifth world | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
In other news now, and a man has admitted killhng two | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
Austin Brayford, who's 33, pleaded guilty to murdering Helen D`wson and | :11:59. | :12:01. | |

A former Huddersfield Town footballer has appeared | :12:14. | :12:16. | |

Delroy Facey, seen here in training while he was | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
at Rotherham United, was ch`rged with conspiracy to commit bribery | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
earlier this month following a National Crime Agency inqtiry | :12:26. | :12:29. | |

More public money is to be spent to finish off a highly crithcised | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
scheme to bring high speed broadband to South Yorkshird. | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
The Digital Region project, which collapsed last year, | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
Now a new deal has been signed with BT and the project will be run | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
South Yorkshire will pay another ?7 million to try and achieve hts | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
original aim of getting 98% of homes fibre broadband by the end of 2 17. | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
Well, I think it has put us in a good position. | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
Without that investment, we wouldn't be where we are today. | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
Historically, South Yorkshire has always lagged behind. | :13:09. | :13:09. | |
We are always at the bottom of peoples' lists when it comes to | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
investment and infrastructure and what Digital Region did was drag | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
Shop owners in Bakewell say trade is down by 60% since major road | :13:17. | :13:25. | |
Gas mains are being replaced in the town centre and people have | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
been put off going there because of the queues into the town. | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
The National Grid says the work is essential and once it's | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
completed, it won't have to be done again for another 80 years. | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
We are at least 60% down on figures from last year's takings. | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
This is the time of year whdn the kids go back to school, the older | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
generation go on holiday and we can carry on with a good season well up | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
until Christmas to try and lake some money so that if we do have bad | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
weather January, February, we all got a bit of money in the b`nk. | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
The parents of two young people who drowned | :14:02. | :14:13. | |
on nights out in York are hdlping to launch a new safety camp`ign | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
Megan Roberts and Tyler Pearson died in the River Ouse earlier this year. | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
Megan's mother and Tyler's father are supporting | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
the campaign in the hope th`t it'll help prevent future tragedids. | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
Ian White is in York by the banks of the River Ouse. | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
Ian, the authorities are taking this very seriously? | :14:27. | :14:39. | |
Yes, they certainly are. Thdy had been encouraged to do so by the | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
families. In the last 15 ye`rs, 24 people have lost their lives in the | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
rivers of York and now the families of those people the authorities | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
think it is time that something is done. It is six months sincd this | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
woman defendant Howard daughter had died at the falling into thhs | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
wrapper. She had been on a night out with a student friends when she went | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
missing close to this pledgd. It was several weeks before her body was | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
discovered. She just got confused as it is such and Arcadia, and stumbled | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
into the water. She would not have stood a chance. There was nothing to | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
warn her of virtuous queen. She would not have had a clue. On the | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
day that her body was found, another young man went missing. His body was | :15:29. | :15:38. | |
to scuppered later. `` his body was discovered later. | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
There is a need for barriers at certain points. Something to warn | :15:47. | :15:55. | |
people. I bought on the rivdr would be brilliant. `` a vessel on the | :15:56. | :16:08. | |
wrapper would be cleaned. `` on the river would be brilliant. It is part | :16:09. | :16:17. | |
of a solution. We are looking at education across the city, with | :16:18. | :16:25. | |
visitors and people that live here. It is about planning their day, the | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
daily home and that is really important to us. It has comd today, | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
there are swans swimming on it. In the winter, it is fast `` f`st | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
flowing and extremely cold. People need to steer clear at all costs. | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
Although this is too late for Megan, but her mother hopes that it will | :16:49. | :16:58. | |
make a difference. It is about remaining people to be award of | :16:59. | :17:02. | |

This is also about people doing something called PU Wooding, | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
drinking a lot before they come into town. It means that they ard | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
paralytic before they arrivd in town. We will put on our Facebook | :17:29. | :17:38. | |
page details of how you can watch the safety films that have been | :17:39. | :17:39. | |
produced. The new exhibition that takds its | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
inspiration from military h`rdware. Sport now and the Lancashird batsman | :17:43. | :17:50. | |
who it's alleged was racially abused by the Yorkshire captain, Andrew | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
Gale, has spoken for the first time. What is he stressed is that he does | :17:54. | :18:08. | |
not feel that there was a r`cial element to the abuse that hd | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
received. This happened durhng her rosy skin. They came togethdr, there | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
were some words spoken, somd fairly industrial wind which used between | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
the two. He is alleged to h`ve said it called back to your country. `` | :18:25. | :18:36. | |
call back to your country. `` `` go back. Today he has said that the way | :18:37. | :18:45. | |
he was approached was what offended him. He did not think it was a | :18:46. | :18:56. | |
racial slur. He is stressing that he did not think it was racist but also | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
that he `` that it is not tdn that has made the complaint. `` ht is not | :19:02. | :19:10. | |
hemmer that has made the colplaint. `` it is not heaven. It is not him. | :19:11. | :19:25. | |
On to boxing, and one of Shdffield's top fighters is looking to take | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
another step towards his ambition of becoming a world champion. | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
Abdul`Barri Awad, also known as Kid Galahad, | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
steps in to the ring tomorrow night to face Latin America's chalpion | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
in one of the toughest weight divisions in the world. | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
At the age of 24, Sheffield boxer Kid Galahad has | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
already won the British, European and Commonwealth thtles | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
He's from the Ingle gym, which has so far produced four | :19:52. | :20:00. | |
world champions, most recently Kell Brook and Galahad is confident | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
The super bantamweight is in a tough domestic division that | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
includes world champion Scott Quigg Belfast's Carl Frampton. | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
I personally believe I am above both of them. | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
I personally believe that I have the skill and the ability to beat | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
both of them and we have two world champions in the UK and this weight | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
For now he is concentrating on Latin American champion Adeilson Dos | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
Santos, who he takes on tomorrow night for the IBF World Youth title. | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
A win will move him a step closer to a chance of boxing | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
This is going to be my toughest test yet. | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
He's tall, he's rangy, he's undefeated, he can punch. | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
It is going to be a tough fhght on Saturday night. | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
Kids come in here, they see the history, they see the fhghters | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
that have gone before them `nd they think they can achieve that. | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
That is a motivating factor and it was a motivating factor | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
Also in action are Sheffield prospects Adam Etches and | :21:08. | :21:24. | |
But at the top of the bill, the Brazilian champion is expecting | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
It certainly will provide another tough test | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
for the Yemeni fighter who hs looking to seal the 18th straight | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
There is something special `bout that gem, isn't there? | :21:33. | :21:43. | |
Yes. There's a new exhibition opdning | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park this weekend and it features | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
an ambitious technical feat. It involves getting the movhng | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
blades of a Chinook helicopter It's the work of the artist | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
Fiona Banner and Cathy Killhck's The ceiling is usually the last | :21:53. | :22:06. | |
place you would work in a g`llery. But there is no missing this one. | :22:07. | :22:15. | |
The blades interlocked perfdctly, but that does not stop the feeling | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
that your entries from catastrophe. The blades are starting to speed up | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
now and it is unnerving to be underneath them. I know it hs | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
perfectly safe, but it does not feel like that, there is a downdraught, | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
and the School of drama, although clinical and controlled. It is a bit | :22:38. | :22:38. | |
like the military. This helicopter was the inspiration | :22:39. | :23:00. | |
for the artist. She is drawn to them, and admires them, but cannot | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
help heating the conflict they are utilised in. It just embodids so | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
many contradictions. It just embodies so many contradicthons | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
There's, but also associated with saving people. I think it incredibly | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
beautiful and I find it grip on it. I find them terrifying but somehow | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
the inspired soul `` some khnd of affection. The exhibition also | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
features films that explore our fascination with military ahrcraft. | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
In one of them, the artist `ttempts to stack are pale of military | :23:38. | :23:46. | |
encyclopaedias. She never m`nage to. It is striking when in | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
comparison to the precision of the spinning blades. | :23:51. | :24:03. | |
Contrasting fortunes this wdekend. Sunday is looking their best day of | :24:04. | :24:41. | |

odd heavy downpour. It is mostly white and dry. The sun rises in the | :25:38. | :25:45. | |
morning at 648. Another disappointing day through S`turday. | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
