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.

More reaction to what the outcome could mean for Xorkshire

Another big night of boxing for Sheffield.

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.

Police found their bodies in a house near the city centre

:12:02.:12:08.

Brayford will be sentenced `t Leeds Crown Court in October.

:12:09.:12:13.

A former Huddersfield Town footballer has appeared

:12:14.:12:16.

in court after being charged for allegedly match`fixing.

:12:17.:12:18.

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.

He was at Birmingham Crown Court for a brief hearing and is due back

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.

their own safety. And very brave lady beer. It is only six months

:17:03.:17:09.

since her daughter's body w`s found. `` and very brave lady.

:17:10.:17:18.

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
