:00:10.:00:19.

The Grade II listed buildling had just undergone refurbishment. The

:00:20.:00:37.

Hopes are high that the former Majestyk nightclub in Leeds

:01:19.:01:21.

can be saved, despite the fhre which ripped through its roof last night

:01:22.:01:24.

The Grade II listed buildling had just undergone refurbishment. The

:01:25.:01:28.

fire service described it as a massive incident and all ro`ds

:01:29.:01:31.

around it were closed causing chaos for commuters. While some are

:01:32.:01:35.

re`opening tonight they may have to close for more work tomorrow. Ian

:01:36.:01:38.

Rush hour this morning was horrendous so the emergency services

:01:39.:01:53.

were very keen to get the roads open by tea`time and they have done that.

:01:54.:02:00.

This was a logistical nightlare for the emergency services last night.

:02:01.:02:06.

This building is right in the middle of Leeds city centre so it was a

:02:07.:02:10.

logistical nightmare. If ovdr my shoulder you can see the extent of

:02:11.:02:13.

the damage which became app`rent this morning. We have some pictures

:02:14.:02:20.

from the Fire Service is short time ago which shows the extent of the

:02:21.:02:24.

damage inside the building. You can see just how bad it is. The

:02:25.:02:31.

devastation is horrendous inside. Here is the story of last nhght

:02:32.:02:45.

Flames light up the night sky in Leeds city centre as firefighters

:02:46.:02:48.

battled to save one of the lost iconic buildings in the citx. Some

:02:49.:02:54.

caught the drama on their mobile phones. Fire crews worked through

:02:55.:02:57.

the night to bring the blazd under control in a busy part of thme close

:02:58.:03:01.

to the railway station, hotdls, restaurants and shops.

:03:02.:03:08.

It is sad to see such an icon go up into flames.

:03:09.:03:10.

It is sad to see such an iconic building in flames.

:03:11.:03:13.

It wasn't until this morning that the true extent of the fire can be

:03:14.:03:30.

iwith some fires inside. Thdy tell us that the building is strtcturally

:03:31.:03:33.

safe. We have got structural engineers

:03:34.:03:34.

going up into our aerial appliances to assess the structural st`bility

:03:35.:03:40.

of the building. Once we have decided it is safe we might consider

:03:41.:03:43.

opening the roads but at thd moment, we are in no position to opdn them.

:03:44.:04:09.

The building was unoccupied but had recently undergone refurbishment.

of city square with the post office of the Queens hotel and the cinema

:04:47.:04:51.

itself. It is so recognisably Leeds city centre.

:04:52.:04:53.

It is a sad loss for the city because it has been reduced to

:04:54.:04:56.

ruins. What now? I just hope it isn't

:04:57.:04:58.

completely demolished. Police say a 32`year`old man was

:04:59.:05:00.

arrested in the area but sax it is too early to say whether thd cause

:05:01.:05:03.

You can imagine people coming into Leeds to go to the cinema and they

:05:04.:05:19.

went to untold luxury, a fantasy world of film which would'vd been at

:05:20.:05:24.

America's evening afternoon out for them and Leeds had seen nothing like

:05:25.:05:32.

it when it opened. In the l`te 960s the Majestyk became a bingo hall and

:05:33.:05:41.

in the 1990s it became a super club for Leeds. It traded on its sheer

:05:42.:05:49.

size as an ideal space for the burgeoning band scene. When acid

:05:50.:05:55.

house took off and Leeds was the capital of dance music, it tsed to

:05:56.:06:01.

attract everybody. That was sometimes his downfall becatse it

:06:02.:06:06.

was the only big club in town. Some nights all of Leeds was in there. It

:06:07.:06:14.

closed as a nightclub in 2006 and was waiting for a new occupher. The

:06:15.:06:19.

listed structure remains so it seems as 93`year`old masterpiece lay still

have a future. If you leave outside Leeds you know know why this

:06:31.:06:33.

building is so important for the city. The owners say they are

:06:34.:06:41.

devastated but they are detdrmined the building will rise from the

:06:42.:06:42.

ashes. Lots of you have been getting in

:06:43.:06:56.

touch to share you memories of the Majestyk. Roy Dexter contacted us

:06:57.:07:04.

to say he met his wife Ruth at the Majestyk 56 years ago when ht was a

:07:05.:07:07.

ballroom, today is their 54th wedding anniversary. He says 'We had

:07:08.:07:12.

some absolutely super nights there, it was a lovely place and wd are so

:07:13.:07:15.

sorry about what's happened. Shocked Oops. And Tim Watson says Mx partner

believe it will improve chances for survival of children who ard very

:09:32.:09:36.

sick in the local area. We do appreciate it will bring problems

:09:37.:09:39.

for local families who have to travel further. The changes lead to

a protest march through Northallerton. Campaigners see this

:09:46.:09:53.

as a loss of local care. Thdy destroy the centre of excellence and

good indications that will provide the capital for the advanced

said today it remained in hhs mind that, if he had not asked for an

Roger Marshall was in chargd of policing the Liverpool fans at the

1989 Cup semi`final. He hss told the Hillsborough inquests he pldaded for

:15:28.:15:30.

a gate to be opened because he'd feared a death outside the stadium.

have opened a walk`in facilhty on the town's high street. Last year

the education secretary said Doncaster Council would be stripped

:15:55.:15:56.

of children's services after what the government called a "legacy of

:15:57.:15:59.

failure" following a number of preventable deaths. Their sdrvices

:16:00.:16:14.

need to be classed as 'outstanding' by Ofsted by 2019.

A 20`year`old student drowndd in the river after drinking spirits and

:16:23.:16:28.

cocktails all evening, an inquest has heard. Megan Roberts from

:16:29.:16:31.

Wetherby, disappeared in January. Her friends says they'd nevdr seen

:16:32.:16:33.

Her body was discovered in Larch ` on the same day Ben Clarkson, a York

:16:34.:16:41.

sales assistant, disappeared. Today a coroner highlighted the d`ngers of

:16:42.:16:43.

drinking too much near water. Charlotte Leeming has been `t the

:16:44.:16:46.

inquests and is in York for us this evening.

:16:47.:16:51.

The coroner said this verdict had to be left open because he could not

:16:52.:17:00.

say how Megan and Ben ended up in the rivers and York. ``in York. The

:17:01.:17:21.

information was quite distrdssing. Megan was out in January with

:17:22.:17:24.

friends from university and there was a lot of heavy drinking such as

:17:25.:17:29.

triple vodkas and cocktails and shots. At one stage in the dvening a

:17:30.:17:35.

friend told she seemed drunk and asked if she wanted to go home but

:17:36.:17:39.

she was having a good time `nd didn't want to leave. A pathologist

:17:40.:17:44.

found through blood tests that are levels of alcohol were thred times

:17:45.:17:49.

the drink`driving limit which would be enough to make anybody

:17:50.:17:53.

disorientated and unstable on their feet. It is a similar case for Ben

:17:54.:18:01.

who was quite tall chap and could handle his drink but nevertheless he

:18:02.:18:07.

did have a lot to drink that night and was twice the drink`driving

:18:08.:18:10.

limit. The pathologist said that would disagree them and makd him

:18:11.:18:15.

unsteady on his feet and st`gger around. The sad thing today is that

:18:16.:18:21.

the family will never reallx know the final moments in the lives of

:18:22.:18:25.

their children and how they came to be in these rivers. The coroner

:18:26.:18:30.

really wanted to raise awardness of dangerous particularly to students.

:18:31.:18:34.

He said it was such a tragic end to these young lives.

Before seven o'clock: A Yorkshire legend ` as David Cameron c`lls

:18:42.:18:44.

William Hague the greatest living Yorkshireman we look at who you

:18:45.:18:46.

Staying with South Yorkshird, sport and Rotherham United brought

:18:47.:19:03.

a six`game winless run to an end last night.

:19:04.:19:06.

The Millers got off to a great start when Kari Arn`son s

:19:07.:19:08.

That was followed by a bizarre second goal.

:19:09.:19:12.

Striker Luchiano Beckio didn't know much about it but they all count

:19:13.:19:15.

Sheffield Wednesday also made a flying start thanks to

:19:16.:19:18.

Atdhe Nuhiu's powerful headdr direct from a corner.

:19:19.:19:20.

But controversy followed whdn the Owls had two goals disallowed.

:19:21.:19:25.

Then Ipswich equalised after Jonny Williams appeared to handle

:19:26.:19:27.

It finished 1`1 and Wednesd`y stay ninth in the Championship.

:19:28.:19:46.

There's nothing like a warm meal on a cold night ` and the Bradford

:19:47.:19:50.

Curry Circle is providing thousands of them. Since its launch in

:19:51.:19:52.

last year it's provided almost 000 meals to those who are homeless or

:19:53.:19:56.

vulnerable. The Circle, set up by a group of Muslim women from Bradford,

:19:57.:19:59.

invited our Communities Correspondent Jhangir Ahmed along.

:20:00.:20:04.

A warming curry is a welcomd sight when you're living on the streets

:20:05.:20:14.

are struggling to pay for food. It is good for the homeless and people

:20:15.:20:20.

in need and they are really helpful. You feel nervous in places like this

:20:21.:20:24.

when you feel out of place but the people are so warm and welcoming

:20:25.:20:26.

they make you feel part of something. It was set up in when the

:20:27.:20:37.

chief executive of the Muslhm Women's Council. We saw two people

:20:38.:20:47.

looking in the dustbin outshde for food and that the stubbornndss and

:20:48.:20:50.

also raised a question about humanity. How can we watch our

:20:51.:20:58.

neighbours go hungry? Some of the food is deleted from local residents

:20:59.:21:04.

and restaurants and some is donated by fundraising. There is also a

:21:05.:21:09.

doctor on hand to offer medhcal advice. It is good food and good

:21:10.:21:15.

people. The doctor services really good. With the winter season just

:21:16.:21:22.

around the corner, the organisers know this sort of service whll

:21:23.:21:25.

attract more people wanting a warm and cooked meal. The main fdar is

:21:26.:21:34.

whether they can cook the M`c cope with the demand. People are more

:21:35.:21:40.

vulnerable so they are lookhng for that hot meal and a warm environment

:21:41.:21:46.

and support which can be through volunteering and also financial

:21:47.:21:49.

donations and things like blankets and so on. It is hoped that this

:21:50.:21:55.

service can continue and not be a victim of its own success.

:21:56.:22:02.

Now who would you say is Yorkshire's greatest living Yorkshireman?

:22:03.:22:18.

Obviously you, Harry! But ottside this studio let's think. Well, the

:22:19.:22:21.

Prime Minister gives his vote to William Hague. The Richmond MP is

:22:22.:22:24.

standing down from the commons next year and at the Conservativd Party

:22:25.:22:27.

Conference David Cameron pahd tribute, as Emma Glasbey reports.

:22:28.:22:32.

He led the Conservative Party and mixed with world leaders and even

:22:33.:22:41.

became friends with Hollywood stars. David Cameron thinks he is the

:22:42.:22:46.

greatest living Yorkshireman. Our greatest living Yorkshireman and

:22:47.:22:51.

someone to whom I an enormots rectum that it should ``an enormous debt of

:22:52.:23:14.

gratitude. It seems that David Cameron remembers an earlier woody

:23:15.:23:20.

Hague speech. But can he colpete with these Yorkshire legends? Who is

:23:21.:23:25.

really the greatest living Yorkshireman? William Hague is up

:23:26.:23:38.

there in terms of political influence and possibly Geoffrey

:23:39.:23:48.

Boycott. I would say Sean Bdan. I would say Jessica Ennis. No doubt

:23:49.:23:57.

about it, Geoffrey Boycott. I would say it is probably Dickie Bhrd. It's

:23:58.:24:09.

inspired a huge debate on twitter. It probably was not the talking

:24:10.:24:13.

point that David Cameron had in mind. The Prime Minister should

:24:14.:24:19.

probably know by now you cannot tell Yorkshire folk who is the greatest.

:24:20.:24:48.

Tomorrow looks like another pleasant day after fog in the morning. The

:24:49.:24:54.

weather will stay fairly settled in the morning but the first storm of

:24:55.:25:00.

the autumn is coming in frol the Atlantic which will bring whndy

:25:01.:25:09.

conditions by Saturday. You can see this band of cloud has been nothing

:25:10.:25:14.

more than that, really, just a few spots of rain which will cldar in

:25:15.:25:18.

the next few hours. Clear spells spreading from the North West. It

:25:19.:25:24.

will be quite a cool night. There will be a frost out in the

:25:25.:25:28.

countryside. The sun will rhse in the morning at nine minutes past

:25:29.:25:47.

seven and set at six .4 1pm. ``at 6.41pm. There will be some or a

:25:48.:25:54.

cloud in the afternoon and temperatures will be around the

:25:55.:25:59.

normal for the year of around 1 degrees or 17 degrees. It w`s the

:26:00.:26:07.

driest September on record for the UK as a whole because the jdt stream

:26:08.:26:12.

has been to the north of us, leaving us with a lot of fine and sdttled

:26:13.:26:17.

weather. That will graduallx trundle site over the next few days and

:26:18.:26:21.

start to steer weather systdms are away, the first of which will be the

:26:22.:26:25.

storm I was talking about on Friday night. There will be brightdr spells

:26:26.:26:30.

but a freshening breeze and then heavy rain which will leave things

:26:31.:26:35.

more changeable and typically a tunnel. ``autumnal.

:26:36.:27:19.

Families left without a pay packet at the end of the month.
