Oood evening and welcome to Thursday's Look North.

:00:00.:00:00.

On the programme tonight, a double helping of good news

:00:00.:00:07.

1700 jobs at Tata Steel factories are saved as an Indian company does

:00:08.:00:12.

We'll hear the details of the agreement and what it means

:00:13.:00:20.

Racing car manufacturers McLaren choose Rotherham

:00:21.:00:25.

for a new ?50 million factory creating 200 jobs.

:00:26.:00:31.

Hundreds of mourners pay their respects as a teenage girl

:00:32.:00:34.

stabbed to death in Rotherham is laid to rest.

:00:35.:00:43.

Sing the song of Yorkshire from the Humber to the tease. Of horses,

:00:44.:00:50.

terriers, pudding and a cheese. Well, the cold weather

:00:51.:00:53.

looks set to continue. The risk of some snow for the hills

:00:54.:00:58.

into Saturday morning. Good evening - and it's not often

:00:59.:01:00.

that we can start the programme The luxury super car manufacturer

:01:01.:01:15.

McLaren is creating a ?50 million Meanwhile Tata Steel

:01:16.:01:20.

is selling its speciality steel business for ?100 million

:01:21.:01:27.

to Liberty House, which will safeguard

:01:28.:01:30.

the sites in Rotherham, Let's cross first to our political

:01:31.:01:32.

editor, Len Tingle, who's in Rotherham with the latest on this

:01:33.:01:37.

Tata Steel announcement. Well, this is the old plant here in

:01:38.:01:52.

Rotherham. You can see the Tata sign behind me. That will change to

:01:53.:01:55.

Liberty House in the next couple of months. The same will happen just

:01:56.:01:59.

down the road at rings worth and at Stockbridge eight about 50 miles

:02:00.:02:04.

away. There was so much concern for the future of these plants that the

:02:05.:02:08.

local community and trade unions held protest marches through the

:02:09.:02:11.

summer because they wanted these plants to be sold. Tata said they

:02:12.:02:14.

did not want to continue but there was concern that no buyer would be

:02:15.:02:19.

found. The concern was that they were unprofitable because of

:02:20.:02:26.

international competition, unfair international competition,

:02:27.:02:29.

particularly dumping from China. Today's sale has certainly lifted

:02:30.:02:33.

the clouds over these plants. That was certainly the reaction that I

:02:34.:02:39.

got from Chris Williamson, the senior convenor for the trade unions

:02:40.:02:42.

here. I spoke to him a couple of hours ago.

:02:43.:02:43.

Given the right investment and given our product that we make

:02:44.:02:46.

we should be able to be fit for the future and

:02:47.:02:49.

move on and be great for this area because without this steel industry,

:02:50.:02:52.

So, the unions seem positive. What is the future for the plants? Well,

:02:53.:03:07.

these are specialist steels, high steels. They are in the market of

:03:08.:03:14.

automotive, aerospace, the offshore oil and gas industry. High-quality

:03:15.:03:18.

steels that have a market. There is an international competition for

:03:19.:03:22.

them but the understanding is that Liberty House, which now becomes the

:03:23.:03:30.

biggest steel-maker in the UK, will find markets for these, put more

:03:31.:03:33.

investment in hand hopefully increase the output. Reaction from

:03:34.:03:39.

Tata was that because the workforce and the management at these three

:03:40.:03:44.

plants have worked very well over the past few months and last couple

:03:45.:03:47.

of years to be able to turn these businesses around, that is what has

:03:48.:03:52.

attracted the new buyer and the new investment and certainly when I

:03:53.:04:00.

spoke to Leanne deeming from Tarter -- from Tata earlier today, her view

:04:01.:04:02.

was it was down to the workforce. I think what it is is about a credit

:04:03.:04:05.

to the employees and trade unions and the management here is being

:04:06.:04:08.

about pulling together and really finding something which will make us

:04:09.:04:11.

a fit for the future through that transformation plan and focusing

:04:12.:04:14.

on the value-added product such as aerospace and others, which take us

:04:15.:04:17.

forward for the future. Well, I understand there are still a

:04:18.:04:29.

few little things to sort out but it is thought that the final deal will

:04:30.:04:32.

he find within the next couple of months and that is when these signs

:04:33.:04:36.

will be shifted and the new ones will go up. Ron here in Rotherham,

:04:37.:04:38.

back to you in the studio. Next tonight, and the luxury super

:04:39.:04:41.

car manufacturer McLaren is going to build a ?50 million

:04:42.:04:43.

chassis factory, creating Well, the Liberty House group

:04:44.:04:45.

is buying the Speciality steel business from

:04:46.:04:47.

Tata for ?100 million. So what does that

:04:48.:04:49.

mean for its future? Jon Bolton, the Chief Executive

:04:50.:04:51.

Officer of Liberty Steel UK Plates, told us why he was optimistic

:04:52.:04:54.

for the future. I think it is a very positive

:04:55.:04:56.

reinforcement of the strength of the plants in South Yorkshire

:04:57.:04:59.

and indeed in the Midlands We strongly believe in the future

:05:00.:05:01.

for these businesses. They have got a very positive

:05:02.:05:06.

and strong product range and they are a technically competent

:05:07.:05:12.

and capable workforce so we think the money that pays for this

:05:13.:05:16.

business is very good value. There is always uncertainty

:05:17.:05:19.

when the business changes hands. Can you guarantee that jobs

:05:20.:05:25.

are going to be saved, I think a major positive

:05:26.:05:27.

of the announcement they made today is to remove that uncertainty over

:05:28.:05:32.

jobs and yes, we are saying that we will maintain the same

:05:33.:05:35.

jobs in this business as there are at the moment

:05:36.:05:38.

and indeed we will look for ways to actually build this business

:05:39.:05:41.

and grow this business And as I understand it,

:05:42.:05:44.

the pension fund has How have you managed

:05:45.:05:50.

to resolve that? I would not say that pensions

:05:51.:05:57.

has been a stumbling This is clearly an issue that Tata

:05:58.:05:59.

are dealing with at the moment We will look to honour whatever

:06:00.:06:03.

the employees decide they want to do through the ballot that is taking

:06:04.:06:08.

place at the moment. We look forward to engaging

:06:09.:06:13.

with them and consulting with them in the very near future

:06:14.:06:15.

about our plans for the business. And what about the future,

:06:16.:06:18.

are you in this for the long haul? This is a major strategic

:06:19.:06:21.

move for liberty. This is a major strategic

:06:22.:06:24.

move for Liberty. Liberty has a vision for steel

:06:25.:06:26.

manufacturing and manufacturing in general in the UK,

:06:27.:06:28.

which is our green steel vision where we take recycled steel

:06:29.:06:31.

that is arising in the UK, melt it in the electric furnaces

:06:32.:06:33.

at Rotherham and that steel is applied in the downstream

:06:34.:06:36.

processes where we are These are technically advanced

:06:37.:06:38.

engineered steels that, as I have said, support

:06:39.:06:46.

the automotive, aerospace, oil and gas, industrial

:06:47.:06:48.

engineering sectors. OK, John Bolton, thank you very much

:06:49.:06:49.

for your time tonight. Next tonight, and the luxury super

:06:50.:06:52.

car manufacturer McLaren is going to build a ?50 million

:06:53.:06:58.

chassis factory, creating The factory will build

:06:59.:07:02.

parts for the super cars at the University

:07:03.:07:08.

of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research

:07:09.:07:10.

Centre near Rotherham. Construction's due to start soon,

:07:11.:07:11.

with two years of research and development work

:07:12.:07:13.

ahead of production. If you like your toys, you are

:07:14.:07:25.

probably familiar with McLaren's supercars. The ultimate in precision

:07:26.:07:32.

engineering and pretty soon, made in Yorkshire. Well, this bit anyway. It

:07:33.:07:37.

is the chassis, which up until now has been manufactured outside the

:07:38.:07:41.

UK. But today a deal was signed which will bring production to the

:07:42.:07:45.

Sheffield city region. This is a big investment for us full stop to have

:07:46.:07:49.

very supportive partners makes it work. Actually because there has

:07:50.:07:53.

been is kind of work in the region for a time, growing, quite a bit of

:07:54.:08:00.

aerospace herewith air bus, Rolls-Royce, there are school people

:08:01.:08:03.

here already in the area, so we are not starting from scratch. -- there

:08:04.:08:09.

are skilled people here. The prototype will be made here at

:08:10.:08:13.

Sheffield University's factory, just up the road from the advanced

:08:14.:08:16.

manufacturing Park. It is that the kind of investment the region is

:08:17.:08:20.

pushing for. This is a fully commercial manufacturing

:08:21.:08:23.

environment. Stuff that is made in this place can do things, can fly

:08:24.:08:26.

the stop the University of Sheffield was hurling supplier of the year. We

:08:27.:08:33.

have eliminated the gap between ideas, research and products. We are

:08:34.:08:37.

the only place to have done it in that way. The price tag on these

:08:38.:08:40.

cars beans they are way outside the budget of most of us but the fact

:08:41.:08:44.

that at least part of them is going to be built in the region is a

:08:45.:08:48.

fantastic calling card. It is also a brilliant way to get more young

:08:49.:08:53.

people interested in engineering. 200 jobs will be created here,

:08:54.:08:56.

including a number of apprentice posts. The first of those has just

:08:57.:09:00.

been given the good news. It is exciting. And yes, it was pretty

:09:01.:09:05.

unexpected. I did not expect it to come along and iCal myself extremely

:09:06.:09:13.

lucky. -- I count myself extremely lucky. To be working on machines

:09:14.:09:17.

like that is ready quite something. The technical bit is the material

:09:18.:09:20.

the chassis will be made from, something that will help develop

:09:21.:09:25.

more electric cars going forward. Realistically, most people just like

:09:26.:09:29.

the way they look for stop a lot of manufacturing and engineering. It is

:09:30.:09:32.

a fascinating discipline but when this is the product that results

:09:33.:09:36.

from it, you can't help getting inspired, motivated and excited and

:09:37.:09:38.

it ready does work and all the people that work for us are really

:09:39.:09:44.

proud of the products that we make. The first Yorkshire bill chassis

:09:45.:09:47.

could be Parry off the line by summer next year. -- the first

:09:48.:09:49.

Yorkshire tilt chassis. Getting the new contract

:09:50.:09:52.

from Mclaren is a huge boost for the Sheffield City Region -

:09:53.:09:55.

not just in terms of jobs, but also in terms of its reputation

:09:56.:09:58.

for advanced manufacturing. Leigh Bramall is deputy leader

:09:59.:10:00.

of Sheffield City Council Just how much of a coup is this to

:10:01.:10:11.

get McLaren would you say? It is a massive coup and it tilts part of

:10:12.:10:17.

wider brands for an advanced Manufacturing innovation district

:10:18.:10:21.

between Sheffield and Rotherham. -- part of wider plans. We already have

:10:22.:10:24.

Rolls-Royce doing research and development, so there is a good

:10:25.:10:28.

track record of commitment that we can do this sort of thing but there

:10:29.:10:31.

is no doubt that getting a company like McLaren relocating from

:10:32.:10:33.

elsewhere in Europe back to the UK in the Sheffield on a more high-tech

:10:34.:10:40.

jobs, is a huge boost to our plans. There was concern after Brexit that

:10:41.:10:43.

investors would not want to invest in the UK. If that still a concern

:10:44.:10:48.

for you? It remains to be seen what happens with that. There is a lot of

:10:49.:10:51.

uncertainty around Brexit and it depends what kind of ultimate deal

:10:52.:10:55.

and exit we have but certainly speaking to McLaren, they have

:10:56.:10:57.

considered all the factors before making this investment and they

:10:58.:11:01.

still believe that the expertise that they will have access to in

:11:02.:11:06.

research and development that can undertake in Sheffield and Rotherham

:11:07.:11:09.

more than makes up for any negatives. They are happy to go

:11:10.:11:12.

forward with the investment. McLaren is good news but Tata is also great

:11:13.:11:17.

news. That news might have a knock-on effect for other businesses

:11:18.:11:21.

as well. Both announcements have a knock on effects were other

:11:22.:11:24.

businesses because they will both invest in the supply chain and keep

:11:25.:11:28.

complete in the area going and gain business for them. A confident these

:11:29.:11:36.

as well. A massive confidence boost. We debate the final outcome for the

:11:37.:11:40.

jobs because that is unclear looking at some of the announcements that

:11:41.:11:44.

have come through the day, so a cautious welcome my thing but

:11:45.:11:47.

overall a fantastic day for Sheffield, Rotherham, Sheffield city

:11:48.:11:51.

region, it shows what we can do when we work together. Not a bad day for

:11:52.:11:53.

the Council. Get, fantastic. Looking ahead to the

:11:54.:11:56.

start of Super League. Tanya rounds up what's in store

:11:57.:11:59.

for the region's teams this season and we've got Big Eorl Crabtree

:12:00.:12:02.

in the studio as well. Hundreds of mourners have attended

:12:03.:12:09.

the funeral of 16-year-old school girl Leonne Weeks,

:12:10.:12:12.

who was stabbed to death last Her family thanked the community

:12:13.:12:14.

for their support and say "their beautiful daughter is loved

:12:15.:12:20.

and sadly missed" as A horse-drawn hearse

carried Leonne's Coffin. Hundreds followed in

:12:24.:12:30.

procession through the town Those unable to squeeze inside stood

:12:31.:12:33.

silent in the bitter cold outside, heads bowed in poignant reflection

:12:34.:12:43.

at a young life lived and lost. She was a lively 16-year-old but now

:12:44.:12:50.

it's grief and the sense on the one hand wanting to remember

:12:51.:12:56.

Leonne with thankfulness but also the terrible loss that

:12:57.:12:59.

so many people have suffered. Leonne's body was discovered on a

:13:00.:13:05.

pathway in Dinnington on January 15. An 18-year-old man has been

:13:06.:13:08.

charged with her murder. Leonne was such a good

:13:09.:13:12.

friend to us all. Words cannot describe how much

:13:13.:13:14.

we love and miss her. The congregation heard

:13:15.:13:21.

how Leonne was growing One of her school friends

:13:22.:13:23.

sang during the service. # Oh, I hope you're dancing

:13:24.:13:28.

in the sky # And I hope you're singing

in the angel's choir There were so many flowers

:13:37.:13:46.

they had to be carried Among scores of messages,

:13:47.:13:49.

one from her brother Levi, which read "words cannot describe

:13:50.:13:52.

how I feel. Today will be the

:13:53.:13:55.

hardest of my life. Leonne's family have asked to be

People who live near the site say the new plans will be a blot on the

landscape and affect the value of their homes. They are also worried

:15:16.:15:20.

about possible links to health. But councillors believe the benefits of

:15:21.:15:22.

the proposal outweigh any potential harm.

:15:23.:15:23.

Now, on Monday we featured the story of Ann Bardsley who had been stuck

:15:24.:15:26.

in St James's Hospital in Leeds for three months despite being

:15:27.:15:29.

medically fit to leave because her family couldn't find

:15:33.:15:38.

times because of problems with her behaviour before being put

Anyway, we're happy to report that after seeing our programme,

:15:41.:15:46.

a care home in Pudsey contacted Ann's family and have now

:15:47.:15:48.

Somehow it seems apt that we've had the odd little flurry

:15:49.:15:56.

of snow to herald the start of the new Super League Season.

:15:57.:15:59.

Tanya here's to look ahead to the next 8 months!

:16:00.:16:10.

It's a big year for Rugby league with the World Cup at the end of it,

:16:11.:16:16.

but there are few domestic issues up for grabs before we get to that.

:16:17.:16:19.

Eorl Crabtee will give us his thoughts on the new season

:16:20.:16:22.

in a moment, but first let's hear from our four Super League coaches.

:16:23.:16:25.

12 teams are hitting the long and winding road to Old Trafford,

:16:26.:16:28.

with the hope of picking up the Super League trophy

:16:29.:16:30.

The departure of Castleford's Denny Solomona might have captured

:16:31.:16:39.

all the headlines but they have strengthened well to add to the

:16:40.:16:42.

Many are tipping them to pick up silverware this season.

:16:43.:16:48.

I think we are capable of challenging on all fronts this year.

:16:49.:16:54.

I have felt that way for a few years but for whatever reason it

:16:55.:16:58.

hasn't quite happened at the end of competitions.

:16:59.:17:00.

This year, I think we've got a great chance but you can talk

:17:01.:17:03.

as much as you want, pre-season has been fantastic,

:17:04.:17:05.

now it is about delivering on what we think we can do.

:17:06.:17:08.

COMMENTATOR: Here's Danny Brough with a 1-pointer!

:17:09.:17:09.

A Danny Brough dropped goal saved Huddersfield

:17:10.:17:11.

The message this season is simple, must do better.

:17:12.:17:17.

Hopefully a little bit more composure in attack.

:17:18.:17:19.

A little bit more resolved, defensively, you know,

:17:20.:17:21.

we let in far too many points last year and some soft points, really.

:17:22.:17:29.

We leaked 25 points a game on average I think

:17:30.:17:31.

if we are going to compete against the top sides, we need to be

:17:32.:17:36.

A wretched season for Leeds in 2016 picked up with

:17:37.:17:40.

He got homesick though, so Matt Purcell replaces him.

:17:41.:17:43.

The Rhinos have resisted wholesale changes.

:17:44.:17:45.

The year before we had a fantastic year.

:17:46.:17:50.

12 months later we find ourselves, you know, at a certain time

:17:51.:17:53.

where we were swimming around the bottom of the league.

:17:54.:17:56.

It wasn't because they became poor players overnight.

:17:57.:17:59.

You know, the answer is not always changing players.

:18:00.:18:02.

Under coach Chris Chester, Wakefield climbed into

:18:03.:18:07.

They have held onto their young talent and

:18:08.:18:12.

They are looking to keep climbing that ladder.

:18:13.:18:16.

We have spoken about improving on last year.

:18:17.:18:19.

We certainly feel the top six is achievable this year,

:18:20.:18:27.

that is a goal we have set and we weren't far away last year

:18:28.:18:31.

Will the trophy head back to West Yorkshire?

:18:32.:18:34.

If it does, who will be taking it home?

:18:35.:18:42.

Well, I have got my biggest shoes on to deal with my guest, Eorl

:18:43.:18:50.

Crabtree. Is it strange to be talking to me here rather than

:18:51.:18:52.

preparing this weekend to play with the Giants? You would think I would

:18:53.:18:58.

be used to it now but I know what you mean, that sensation of being

:18:59.:19:00.

able to walk out onto the field with the rest of the lads, that is going

:19:01.:19:04.

to hurt the little bit. That is the bit I worried about, all of this

:19:05.:19:08.

preseason I haven't missed it, but that is because I have seen the boys

:19:09.:19:12.

training, training really hard. How will they do without you this

:19:13.:19:17.

season? It is tough to say. Last season was really bad pass.

with that. They have not recruited that many players stop does that

That's how they have won trophies. I expect them to be better but that is

a tough start as in Helen 's. I look forward to watching that. In that

at the tender age of 98. I had the pleasure of meeting her

it will soon be time to go. # Then let me rest in Yorkshire,

for the Symphony for Yorkshire, Doreen's inspired words might never

have reached such a wide audience. This just happened to be one I had

written and then the paper opened this competition and I thought well,

That is move on to the weather. Somebody said your new suits make

you look like a smart second-hand car salesman. Would you buy one off

me, Harry? I would buy anything few! I think it is a bit Saturday night

Fever! What do you reckon? Some of us have got to work the night but

:24:55.:25:00.

the four yourself! -- speak for yourself!

:25:01.:25:04.

Quite a bit of snow there as you can see in that photograph. The next

one, if you have not done that walk, it is absolutely beautiful. And the

third one, that is stunning. A beautiful sunrise. Keep the pictures

coming in. Let us have a look at the headline for the next 24 hours. It

feature coming in on Friday night into Saturday morning, the showers

:25:38.:25:43.

are going to become heavier and more frequent and I suspect there could

:25:44.:25:46.

be several centimetres of snow over the hills, the North Yorkshire moors

:25:47.:25:50.

and the Pennine drew the course of Saturday. Otherwise sleet and rain

:25:51.:25:57.

is more likely. I think the night it is cloudy, damp. There will be

flurries in places that may cause a problem on untreated services with

ice a hazard. The lowest temperatures tonight around or just

:26:06.:26:12.

below freezing in many areas. A moderate east north-east wind. The

:26:13.:26:23.

sun rises in the morning at 7:37am. So, it is another drab day. It is

:26:24.:26:27.

cloudy and there will be some brighter spells coming through but a

:26:28.:26:30.

fair few wintry showers from the word go that will continue to feed

:26:31.:26:34.

in from the North Sea. A slight covering on the North York moors but

:26:35.:26:38.

I think once you get to the west and south of Yorkshire, very little,

:26:39.:26:42.

just a few flurries here and there. The wind will eventually back off to

:26:43.:26:46.

the north-east and could freshen especially along the coast and over

:26:47.:26:53.

the hills. It will feel cold. Maximum temperatures, the average is

:26:54.:26:56.

seven Celsius for February but we are looking at higher temperatures

:26:57.:27:01.

of around three Celsius tomorrow. I think the era one or two over the

high ground. -- I think one or two Celsius over high ground. Friday

the showers up. Shall we outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow. Not

think next week dominantly dry and a dozen less cold. If you have any
