:00:16. > :00:16.Good afternoon. for the news where you are.
:00:17. > :00:18.First this lunchtime, a warning of "self-selected apartheid" at some
:00:19. > :00:22.The author of a Government report has told Look North that racial
:00:23. > :00:24.segregation is holding back children's progress.
:00:25. > :00:26.Sir Nick Weller says schools should consider changing their admissions
:00:27. > :00:28.codes to bring in a more diverse mix of pupils.
:00:29. > :00:32.It's known as monoculturalism - one school where almost
:00:33. > :00:34.all the children are white and another, perhaps just down
:00:35. > :00:39.the road, where almost all are from ethnic minorities.
:00:40. > :00:41.Sir Nick Weller runs an Academy Trust in Bradford,
:00:42. > :00:48.He has written a report for the Government on how to improve
:00:49. > :00:51.education across the North of England, and he says there's
:00:52. > :00:52.a problem with parents choosing schools that
:00:53. > :00:58.Very often, you get a situation where families choose
:00:59. > :01:00.not to send their child to their closest school.
:01:01. > :01:03.If it doesn't predominantly serve the community where they come from,
:01:04. > :01:20.they will often drive past it or walk past it or bus past
:01:21. > :01:22.it to a school that's slightly further away.
:01:23. > :01:25.Parents have a right to choose, I'm not trying to circumvent that,
:01:26. > :01:28.but I think we should do what we can to encourage a greater mix,
:01:29. > :01:31.because that kind of self-selected apartheid is not a healthy position
:01:32. > :01:33.for any town or city to find itself in.
:01:34. > :01:35.This school admits children from across the whole of Bradford
:01:36. > :01:38.and uses randomised selection to try to create a more
:01:39. > :01:41.Firstly, I think it prepares them better
:01:42. > :01:43.for their later life, because, you know, we share
:01:44. > :01:45.the same city and, you know, we should be educated together
:01:46. > :01:49.as well as live and work together later.
:01:50. > :01:52.It also means that children come into contact with different
:01:53. > :01:54.cultures, different levels of aspiration, different ambitions,
:01:55. > :01:56.and I think that kind of mix is very, very healthy,
:01:57. > :01:58.because it rubs off on all children from all backgrounds.
:01:59. > :02:02.Reducing monoculturalism is just one of Sir Nick's 27 recommendations
:02:03. > :02:13.Making it happen will require plenty of hard work.
:02:14. > :02:16.A man who was found murdered in a house in Scarborough last week
:02:17. > :02:18.has been named by North Yorkshire Police.
:02:19. > :02:21.Shaun Atkinson who was forty nine was found in his home
:02:22. > :02:26.in St John's Avenue early in the morning on December the 27th.
:02:27. > :02:28.Paramedics say he was dead at the scene.
:02:29. > :02:33.Two men appeared in court on the 29th charged with his murder.
:02:34. > :02:36.Investigations are continuing to identify the body of a man found
:02:37. > :02:40.Police were called by a member of the public to Holly Terrace opposite
:02:41. > :02:51.Officers are trying to find out how he came to be in the river.
:02:52. > :02:53.One of Sheffield's original campaigning Women of Steel has died.
:02:54. > :02:56.Dorothy Slingsby was one of the four women behind the city's campaign
:02:57. > :03:00.to get official recognition for the women who kept
:03:01. > :03:02.the steelworks running and producing during the wars.
:03:03. > :03:05.She passed away on Christmas Eve, aged 95.

:03:34. > :03:45.25,000 people packed in to see Hull start its year in the spotlight.
:03:46. > :03:48.It's like being in a completely different city, like a foreign city,
:03:49. > :03:51.you know, we were just saying, it's really nice, everyone's
:03:52. > :03:56.We've come all the way from South Africa to see
:03:57. > :03:58.the fireworks, to visit, and it's such an amazing place.

:04:10. > :04:12.exploding above the Humber, it really is starting with a bang.
:04:13. > :04:18.It feels great, when you're in my game, you love the planning bit,
:04:19. > :04:22.but you love when you start the show and the team have worked really hard
:04:23. > :04:25.and the city council have planned so hard and got this stage ready
:04:26. > :04:33.for us, so it's always great to just take up the curtain and open.

:04:38. > :04:42.in Hull, a look back at a century of the city's history,

:06:22. > :06:28.It looks like tomorrow will be a cloudier affair. It will be windy

:07:02. > :07:12.the wide slight frost and rural temperatures down to -1 or minus two
:07:13. > :07:20.Celsius. The sun rises at age 20 4am -- 8:24am. More cloud across the
:07:21. > :07:26.Pennines and the odd spot of drizzle and it will filter eastwards through
:07:27. > :07:29.the course of the day so the best of the brightness in the afternoon,
:07:30. > :07:32.still cloudy in the east and dampness over the Pennines.

:08:39. > :08:42.But to the south we could see temperatures down to minus four or
:08:43. > :08:47.five first thing Tuesday morning. If you have a commute back to work,

:08:52. > :08:56.patch of mist and freezing fog. But many of us staying dry. More cloud
:08:57. > :08:58.in the north and west. Some rain
