:01:25. > :01:28.The Grade II listed buildling had just undergone refurbishment. The

:01:29. > :01:31.fire service described it as a massive incident and all ro`ds

:01:32. > :01:35.around it were closed causing chaos for commuters. While some are

:01:39. > :01:53.Rush hour this morning was horrendous so the emergency services

:01:54. > :02:00.were very keen to get the roads open by tea`time and they have done that.

:02:01. > :02:06.This was a logistical nightlare for the emergency services last night.

:02:07. > :02:10.This building is right in the middle of Leeds city centre so it was a

:02:11. > :02:13.logistical nightmare. If ovdr my shoulder you can see the extent of

:02:14. > :02:20.the damage which became app`rent this morning. We have some pictures

:02:21. > :02:24.from the Fire Service is short time ago which shows the extent of the

:02:25. > :02:31.damage inside the building. You can see just how bad it is. The

:02:32. > :02:45.devastation is horrendous inside. Here is the story of last nhght

:02:46. > :02:48.Flames light up the night sky in Leeds city centre as firefighters

:02:49. > :02:54.battled to save one of the lost iconic buildings in the citx. Some

:02:55. > :02:57.caught the drama on their mobile phones. Fire crews worked through

:02:58. > :03:01.the night to bring the blazd under control in a busy part of thme close

:03:02. > :03:08.to the railway station, hotdls, restaurants and shops.

:03:09. > :03:10.It is sad to see such an icon go up into flames.

:03:11. > :03:13.It is sad to see such an iconic building in flames.

:03:14. > :03:30.It wasn't until this morning that the true extent of the fire can be

:03:31. > :03:33.iwith some fires inside. Thdy tell us that the building is strtcturally

:03:34. > :03:34.safe. We have got structural engineers

:03:35. > :03:40.going up into our aerial appliances to assess the structural st`bility

:03:41. > :03:43.of the building. Once we have decided it is safe we might consider

:03:44. > :04:09.opening the roads but at thd moment, we are in no position to opdn them.

:04:10. > :04:46.The building was unoccupied but had recently undergone refurbishment.

:04:47. > :04:51.of city square with the post office of the Queens hotel and the cinema

:04:52. > :04:53.itself. It is so recognisably Leeds city centre.

:04:54. > :04:56.It is a sad loss for the city because it has been reduced to

:04:57. > :04:58.ruins. What now? I just hope it isn't

:04:59. > :05:00.completely demolished. Police say a 32`year`old man was

:05:01. > :05:03.arrested in the area but sax it is too early to say whether thd cause

:05:04. > :05:19.You can imagine people coming into Leeds to go to the cinema and they

:05:20. > :05:24.went to untold luxury, a fantasy world of film which would'vd been at

:05:25. > :05:32.America's evening afternoon out for them and Leeds had seen nothing like

:05:33. > :05:41.it when it opened. In the l`te 960s the Majestyk became a bingo hall and

:05:42. > :05:49.in the 1990s it became a super club for Leeds. It traded on its sheer

:05:50. > :05:55.size as an ideal space for the burgeoning band scene. When acid

:05:56. > :06:01.house took off and Leeds was the capital of dance music, it tsed to

:06:02. > :06:06.attract everybody. That was sometimes his downfall becatse it

:06:07. > :06:14.was the only big club in town. Some nights all of Leeds was in there. It

:06:15. > :06:19.closed as a nightclub in 2006 and was waiting for a new occupher. The

:06:20. > :06:30.listed structure remains so it seems as 93`year`old masterpiece lay still

:06:31. > :06:33.have a future. If you leave outside Leeds you know know why this

:06:34. > :06:41.building is so important for the city. The owners say they are

:06:42. > :06:42.devastated but they are detdrmined the building will rise from the

:06:43. > :06:56.ashes. Lots of you have been getting in

:06:57. > :07:04.touch to share you memories of the Majestyk. Roy Dexter contacted us

:07:05. > :07:07.to say he met his wife Ruth at the Majestyk 56 years ago when ht was a

:07:08. > :07:12.ballroom, today is their 54th wedding anniversary. He says 'We had

:07:13. > :07:15.some absolutely super nights there, it was a lovely place and wd are so

:07:16. > :07:26.sorry about what's happened. Shocked Oops. And Tim Watson says Mx partner

:07:27. > :07:33.Sarah and I went to the Majdstyk when it was a nightclub as part of

:08:10. > :08:21.Jamie Coulson reports. The family of this girl havd

:08:22. > :08:29.campaigned to keep services at the hospital. It is hard to explain what

:08:30. > :08:39.it means when your child is just up the road instead of being in

:08:40. > :08:43.Middlesborough. Changes to services for children and maternity services

:08:44. > :08:48.will come into force from ndxt week and from today there will no longer

:09:22. > :09:27.Darlington. Parents are told not to bring their children and if it is an

:09:28. > :09:31.emergency. We have had to m`ke these changes with a heavy heart but we

:09:32. > :09:36.believe it will improve chances for survival of children who ard very

:09:37. > :09:39.sick in the local area. We do appreciate it will bring problems

:09:40. > :09:45.for local families who have to travel further. The changes lead to

:09:46. > :09:53.a protest march through Northallerton. Campaigners see this

:09:54. > :09:56.as a loss of local care. Thdy destroy the centre of excellence and

:09:57. > :10:00.destroy the peace of mind of communities. This wonderful hospital

:10:01. > :10:05.has served so faithfully ovdr many years and I do not think thhs should

:10:06. > :10:18.happen. Later on Look North: Currying favour

:13:19. > :13:28.people a day using the stadhum and will provide a great centre of

:13:29. > :13:35.excellence. We are going to work on the wellness agenda which is a real

:13:36. > :13:38.challenge to most industrial societies and that is what we will

:13:39. > :13:43.be doing with the Universitx and the teaching hospital and with the local

:13:44. > :13:48.authority and with the people of Sheffield and the elite sport people

:13:49. > :13:57.here. We will create an adv`nced well`being research centre. Show us

:13:58. > :14:01.your 40 million requests. 10 million will come from the technical college

:14:02. > :14:05.and 70 million will come from the National educational budget and 10

:14:06. > :14:09.million will come from the private sector and we hope that will be

:14:10. > :14:14.match funded through the Regional Growth Fund and we have had a very

:14:15. > :14:19.good indications that will provide the capital for the advanced

:14:20. > :14:28.well`being research Centre. On top of that, we will meet next week with

:14:29. > :14:38.some of the big names in thhs industry who are coming to Sheffield

:15:14. > :15:17.said today it remained in hhs mind that, if he had not asked for an

:15:18. > :15:20.exit gate to be opened to rdlieve serious congestion outside, the 96

:15:21. > :15:24.Liverpool fans would not have died. Now retired, Superintdndent

:15:25. > :15:27.Roger Marshall was in chargd of policing the Liverpool fans at the

:15:28. > :15:30.1989 Cup semi`final. He hss told the Hillsborough inquests he pldaded for

:15:31. > :15:33.a gate to be opened because he'd feared a death outside the stadium.

:15:34. > :15:36.But 96 fans were crushed to death when supporters flooded in through

:15:55. > :15:56.the education secretary said Doncaster Council would be stripped

:15:57. > :15:59.of children's services after what the government called a "legacy of

:16:00. > :16:14.failure" following a number of preventable deaths. Their sdrvices

:16:15. > :16:22.need to be classed as 'outstanding' by Ofsted by 2019.

:16:29. > :16:31.cocktails all evening, an inquest has heard. Megan Roberts from

:16:32. > :16:33.Wetherby, disappeared in January. Her friends says they'd nevdr seen

:16:34. > :16:41.Her body was discovered in Larch ` on the same day Ben Clarkson, a York

:16:42. > :16:43.sales assistant, disappeared. Today a coroner highlighted the d`ngers of

:16:44. > :16:46.drinking too much near water. Charlotte Leeming has been `t the

:16:47. > :16:51.inquests and is in York for us this evening.

:16:52. > :17:00.The coroner said this verdict had to be left open because he could not

:17:01. > :17:21.say how Megan and Ben ended up in the rivers and York. ``in York. The

:17:22. > :17:24.information was quite distrdssing. Megan was out in January with

:17:25. > :17:29.friends from university and there was a lot of heavy drinking such as

:17:30. > :17:35.triple vodkas and cocktails and shots. At one stage in the dvening a

:17:36. > :17:39.friend told she seemed drunk and asked if she wanted to go home but

:17:40. > :17:44.she was having a good time `nd didn't want to leave. A pathologist

:17:45. > :17:49.found through blood tests that are levels of alcohol were thred times

:17:50. > :17:53.the drink`driving limit which would be enough to make anybody

:17:54. > :18:01.disorientated and unstable on their feet. It is a similar case for Ben

:18:02. > :18:07.who was quite tall chap and could handle his drink but nevertheless he

:18:08. > :18:10.did have a lot to drink that night and was twice the drink`driving

:18:11. > :18:15.limit. The pathologist said that would disagree them and makd him

:18:16. > :18:21.unsteady on his feet and st`gger around. The sad thing today is that

:18:22. > :18:25.the family will never reallx know the final moments in the lives of

:18:26. > :18:30.their children and how they came to be in these rivers. The coroner

:18:31. > :18:34.really wanted to raise awardness of dangerous particularly to students.

:18:35. > :18:41.He said it was such a tragic end to these young lives.

:18:45. > :18:46.William Hague the greatest living Yorkshireman we look at who you

:18:47. > :19:03.Staying with South Yorkshird, sport and Rotherham United brought

:19:04. > :19:06.a six`game winless run to an end last night.

:19:07. > :19:08.The Millers got off to a great start when Kari Arn`son s

:19:09. > :19:12.That was followed by a bizarre second goal.

:19:13. > :19:15.Striker Luchiano Beckio didn't know much about it but they all count

:19:16. > :19:18.Sheffield Wednesday also made a flying start thanks to

:19:19. > :19:20.Atdhe Nuhiu's powerful headdr direct from a corner.

:19:21. > :19:25.But controversy followed whdn the Owls had two goals disallowed.

:19:26. > :19:27.Then Ipswich equalised after Jonny Williams appeared to handle

:19:28. > :19:46.It finished 1`1 and Wednesd`y stay ninth in the Championship.

:19:47. > :19:50.There's nothing like a warm meal on a cold night ` and the Bradford

:19:51. > :19:52.Curry Circle is providing thousands of them. Since its launch in

:19:53. > :19:56.last year it's provided almost 000 meals to those who are homeless or

:19:57. > :19:59.vulnerable. The Circle, set up by a group of Muslim women from Bradford,

:20:00. > :20:04.invited our Communities Correspondent Jhangir Ahmed along.

:20:05. > :20:14.A warming curry is a welcomd sight when you're living on the streets

:20:15. > :20:20.are struggling to pay for food. It is good for the homeless and people

:20:21. > :20:24.in need and they are really helpful. You feel nervous in places like this

:20:25. > :20:26.when you feel out of place but the people are so warm and welcoming

:20:27. > :20:37.they make you feel part of something. It was set up in when the

:20:38. > :20:47.chief executive of the Muslhm Women's Council. We saw two people

:20:48. > :20:50.looking in the dustbin outshde for food and that the stubbornndss and

:20:51. > :20:58.also raised a question about humanity. How can we watch our

:20:59. > :21:04.neighbours go hungry? Some of the food is deleted from local residents

:21:05. > :21:09.and restaurants and some is donated by fundraising. There is also a

:21:10. > :21:15.doctor on hand to offer medhcal advice. It is good food and good

:21:16. > :21:22.people. The doctor services really good. With the winter season just

:21:23. > :21:25.around the corner, the organisers know this sort of service whll

:21:26. > :21:34.attract more people wanting a warm and cooked meal. The main fdar is

:21:35. > :21:40.whether they can cook the M`c cope with the demand. People are more

:21:41. > :21:46.vulnerable so they are lookhng for that hot meal and a warm environment

:21:47. > :21:49.and support which can be through volunteering and also financial

:21:50. > :21:55.donations and things like blankets and so on. It is hoped that this

:21:56. > :22:02.service can continue and not be a victim of its own success.

:22:03. > :22:18.Now who would you say is Yorkshire's greatest living Yorkshireman?

:22:19. > :22:21.Obviously you, Harry! But ottside this studio let's think. Well, the

:22:22. > :22:24.Prime Minister gives his vote to William Hague. The Richmond MP is

:22:25. > :22:27.standing down from the commons next year and at the Conservativd Party

:22:28. > :22:32.Conference David Cameron pahd tribute, as Emma Glasbey reports.

:22:33. > :22:41.He led the Conservative Party and mixed with world leaders and even

:22:42. > :22:46.became friends with Hollywood stars. David Cameron thinks he is the

:22:47. > :22:51.greatest living Yorkshireman. Our greatest living Yorkshireman and

:22:52. > :23:14.someone to whom I an enormots rectum that it should ``an enormous debt of

:23:15. > :23:20.gratitude. It seems that David Cameron remembers an earlier woody

:23:21. > :23:25.Hague speech. But can he colpete with these Yorkshire legends? Who is

:23:26. > :23:38.really the greatest living Yorkshireman? William Hague is up

:23:39. > :23:48.there in terms of political influence and possibly Geoffrey

:23:49. > :23:57.Boycott. I would say Sean Bdan. I would say Jessica Ennis. No doubt

:23:58. > :24:09.about it, Geoffrey Boycott. I would say it is probably Dickie Bhrd. It's

:24:10. > :24:13.inspired a huge debate on twitter. It probably was not the talking

:24:14. > :24:19.point that David Cameron had in mind. The Prime Minister should

:24:20. > :24:48.probably know by now you cannot tell Yorkshire folk who is the greatest.

:24:49. > :24:54.Tomorrow looks like another pleasant day after fog in the morning. The

:24:55. > :25:00.weather will stay fairly settled in the morning but the first storm of

:25:01. > :25:09.the autumn is coming in frol the Atlantic which will bring whndy

:25:10. > :25:14.conditions by Saturday. You can see this band of cloud has been nothing

:25:15. > :25:18.more than that, really, just a few spots of rain which will cldar in

:25:19. > :25:24.the next few hours. Clear spells spreading from the North West. It

:25:25. > :25:28.will be quite a cool night. There will be a frost out in the

:25:29. > :25:47.countryside. The sun will rhse in the morning at nine minutes past

:25:48. > :25:54.seven and set at six .4 1pm. ``at 6.41pm. There will be some or a

:25:55. > :25:59.cloud in the afternoon and temperatures will be around the

:26:00. > :26:07.normal for the year of around 1 degrees or 17 degrees. It w`s the

:26:08. > :26:12.driest September on record for the UK as a whole because the jdt stream

:26:13. > :26:17.has been to the north of us, leaving us with a lot of fine and sdttled

:26:18. > :26:21.weather. That will graduallx trundle site over the next few days and

:26:22. > :26:25.start to steer weather systdms are away, the first of which will be the

:26:26. > :26:30.storm I was talking about on Friday night. There will be brightdr spells

:26:31. > :26:35.but a freshening breeze and then heavy rain which will leave things

:26:36. > :27:19.more changeable and typically a tunnel. ``autumnal.

:27:20. > :27:23.Families left without a pay packet at the end of the month.
