In York, hundreds of mourners gather at the Minster to celebrate the life

of the seven-year-old killed in the city last month.

Just want to remember her as a lovely little girl and leave

a legacy and not remember something awful that happened.

We'll have a special report from York.

And I've been speaking to the Archbishop about today's events.

Tributes are paid to the 16-year-old boy stabbed to death on a Leeds

Campaigners fighting fracking turn to politics

From early beginnings to Captain of England -

the new Skipper whose talent is rooted in Yorkshire.

Well, higher parts of Yorkshire saw some snow this weekend

Join me for that week ahead forecast.

Hundreds of mourners gathered in York Minster today to celebrate

the life of seven-year-old Katie Rough, who was killed

As well as a private family service, members of the public

were invited to help remember her short life.

Her parents Paul and Alison have said they want a lasting memorial

to their daughter so that people can remember her

for who she was and not how she died.

Outside short list this afternoon, Katie Rough's hearse arrived pulled

by two white horses. Mourners and onlookers fell silent. Her parents

were met by the Archbishop of York who was leading the thanksgiving

service. Katie's Coughlan was decorated with characters from one

of the writer's she loved the most, Doctor Seuss. Inside the Minster's

liar, the convocation join together to sing some of her favourite hems

and her uncle, Stephen, held back tears as he paid tribute to her as

he described her as a child who will live on forever in our hearts.

Before the funeral, Katie's family released a video which shows a

compilation of photographs of the seven-year-old's short life. They

want people to remember her from what she was like and not for how

she died. Katie was killed last month. She was sound with serious

neck and chest injuries on a playing field not far from her home and died

later in hospital. A 15-year-old girl has been charged with her

murder. Her tragic death has affected many communities across the

city and hundreds of people packed into the Minster today to pay their

respects to a little girl they didn't know but who they wanted to

remember. Its move the whole city and there is a couple of other

events on later this week that we are helping with to raise money for

two Yorkshire charities, one for disadvantaged children and we just

want to remember her as a lovely little girl and leave a legacy and

not remember her as something for that happened. After the service,

her Coughlan was carried out to the hidden He's Got The Whole World In

His Hands with their words turn to, he's got Katie in his hands. There

was spontaneous applause. This personal family tragedy has been

turned into something very public and now her parents are going to set

up a lasting memorial to the daughter they say made her so happy.

-- made them so happy. Heartbreaking, but

The service was a moving, beautiful tribute

Katie's family and friends showed such dignity

They were helped by the Archbishop of York, who embraced the family

to help steer them through some of the challenges.

It wasn't easy, but I've got to know the family.

Three days after the child died, I went to meet

And, of course, I've got to know them.

I felt I was speaking to families that

I know as opposed to parishioners.

So I really got to know them and also they gave me a lot of things

about Katie which you could understand.

So there was a memory and then, of course, last night,

her body was brought to Bishop Chapel where she...

You know, they came at 4:30pm and when the family left, I was

going to only spend an hour there but I found myself keeping a vigil

How difficult a service was it for you to do?

I think when I went to see the family

during the second week, they were so concerned

about what sort of service were they going to have, you know,

I said, well, rather than put together and at the time,

they were living in the parish where they normally live,

so I said there are two vicars you could actually ask, but I

will draft one for you, think it through and when I went on the

fourth day, they said, do you mind doing our service as Katie was

I thought the uncle was incredibly brave.

But they've all been together as a family

and the grief in fact, I think, has brought

So I've got to know them and they actually think Stephen

How do you manage to preach God is love when

something as horrible as this happens?

Katie had a very strong, living faith.

She always wanted to come to the Minster,

She had a Children's Bible which was put on

She's been thumbing right through although she was only seven.

Written some amazing prayers and hopes and cares.

So it is easier to actually take a service, but even if you didn't

believe, I always believe people who don't believe in God,

I always talk about that on Good Friday,

People saw Jesus crucified and Fat...

He talked about love, that's nothing.

But actually, a piece of embroidery has got another, better side to it.

and everything doesn't look wonderful.

But actually, there is another, greater message being written.

it was a real celebration of a little girl's Y. The uncle made a

speech that was so brave and also was helped by her sister who read a

poem as well. It is something that I will never, ever forget.

As we heard there, the family wanted to celebrate who Katie was and they

certainly did that today. More tributes have been paid

to the teenage boy who was murdered Irfan Wahid was stabbed to death

in the street after school Detectives are continuing

to investigate the incident. Meanwhile members of the community

are asking people who possess This is 16-year-old Irfan Wahid, the

latest teenage murder victim in Harehills. He died on Friday after

receiving a single stab wound to his chest in the centre of this bustling

part of Leeds. Tonight, one of his former teachers told me what he was

like. He was just the happiest, smiley at boy. He was always

desperate to please you. We worked so hard on his maths ability while

we had him and he just achieved fantastic results when he left for

high school and I just got the enormous feeling that he had so much

promise. He had potential. Two teenagers have been arrested in

connection with the murder. A 15-year-old boy was released without

charge but a 16-year-old remains in custody being questioned. Since

Friday, the number of floral tributes being left here has

continued to grow. But people say they are worried. They are worried

about gun crime and knife crime so they have decided to do something

about it leaving this bucket here with a sign, stop the knife crime,

simply put your weapon in here. It's just over a fortnight and another

teenager, the brother of a rejuvenated footballer, was shot

dead outside a barbershop. And yesterday, another murder

investigation was launched when a man's body was found by an ambulance

cube in Harehills. People who know this area well says something need

to be done to stop violent here. Recently what's been going on around

here, me being a parent myself and having children, it's not something

that we want to see around here. Is it frightening? It's very, very...

Me, I usually wouldn't come across as a person who would say I am

frightened, but yes, I am frightened. I actually am

frightened. My message to the community is actually that we know

is to Leeds is not perfect, Harehills isn't perfect, nowhere is

perfect. It is a tragedy that has happened at a young life in our

community has been taken but people from the outside will say that this

is a bad place, this is a bad community. It is not a bad place. It

is not a bad community. Harehills is full of wonderful people. Prayers

have been said at the local mosque for Irfan Wahid and councillors have

called on the community to support each other while the family grieves.

Friends of the dead boy hope to hold a vigil on Wednesday.

following their fifth straight victory.

Campaigners against fracking in North Yorkshire say they'll back

candidates at this year's local council elections who will block

planning permission for the controversial process

to be used to extract natural gas from deep underground.

A new group called Frack Free United has been set up

to coordinate the new political strategy in county council

Our political editor Len Tingle was at its launch

today in the village of Hovingham near Malton.

Protests, petitions and even legal challenges have become

part of the anti-fracking story over the past couple of years

in North Yorkshire, but so far, they've had little practical effect.

If local councillors can't be persuaded to turn down

planning permission, they'll elect different councillors.

We've got county council elections coming up in North Yorkshire.

There are several others right across the country.

And we are looking for people who are going to stand in

those elections for whatever political party that will, as part

of their manifesto, pledge that they are anti-fracking.

This picture-postcard village was deliberately chosen

for today's launch because anti-fracking groups say

that there are hundreds of communities just like it

A licence has been granted to a company just on the outskirts

of Hovingham here, a company that wants to extract gas

using the controversial fracking method.

But to turn that licence into reality,

the company has to apply to councillors for planning permission.

We need people who are going to come to County Hall who are not just

passionate about environmental reasons, but passionate about

education, about child protection, about removal isolation, and about

maintaining a sustainable library service, maintaining our roads

And protest in the past outside North Yorkshire County Council

headquarters have already failed to convince councillors on this

Conservative-controlled planning authority to turn down the

one application they've had to decide on so far.

After months of wrangling, councillors gave permission

for a test well to be sunk near the village

It's on a site where conventional gas wells have been

extracting gas for decades but the new one will pump

high-pressure iced water, sand and chemicals

underground to break free natural reserves of gas

The real test as to whether this political initiative is going

after the local Government elections.

Across all those county council is where companies are asking

them to grant permission for them to frack.

Muslims can now talk about religion in the therapy room for the first

time after research by Leeds University. The study was piloted in

Bradford found that Muslims with mental health problems are less

likely to access help and that talking about faith helped some to

feel better. The treatment has been successfully introduced in Leeds.

Mental health - famously, is something we don't like talking

about and in some communities, the stigma is severe. Its brushed aside.

And it's not actually tackled, it's not actually addressed. This lady is

a Muslim and has had severe depression. She was to remain

anonymous as she fears what her friends will think. I felt I had to

constantly keep myself strong and put on a brave face. And deep

inside, I was actually... I was actually broken. I was broken. But

now a new kind of treatment is being piloted that brings religion into

the therapy room for the first time. It's concrete is it for me and I

feel happy that I can live my life with my religion and I know that I

have the support from within the Koran and within Islam. In the past,

faith and therapy have been kept very separate but this study proves

that one can help the other, particularly in them is the

community. A big concern though is that some therapists will feel out

of their comfort zone talking about religion. People who have

experienced services have often felt that they are not able to talk about

that expects of their identity and it is like a missing part of what

they need to talk about. People who are Muslims see faith as a resource

for well-being, as a resource for health. Only 4% of people who access

the mental health service are Muslim and it's not that there are still

have in the community to seek help. I think perhaps we Muslims are not

recognising that there are mental health issues prevalent in our

community and that is partly because some people think that when you are

facing mental health issues you are being possessed by a third party and

that can have deeper consequences because that means you are not in

control of your life and if you have family around you, people are afraid

and scared. In Islam, all situations are tested and we should not assume

that difficulties we face in life are punishments... Of these words,

putting the Koran at the heart of treatment have helped people feel

better. It is hoped this could be a blueprint to help people of all

faiths. That will really help so many people.

Let's move on to sport. A Yorkshireman! Be tenth Yorkshireman

to become captain of England. I want as few how many you remember!

I think Joe Root is potentially going to be the greatest of all. He

is taking over at a good age. He is not too young. He has been on the

scene first all week long. One? F1 has is will it affect his batting?

It won't! Is what! People say it will not.

I don't think it will at all because I think he is so positive in

everything that he does and the nice thing about it from what I can

gather is that everybody is happy about that as a decision.

It took them a week to decide. But everyone said it was going to be Joe

Root. There was only one person for the job.

I remember him as a 13-year-old saying to the

batting coach that he wanted to know what he needed to do to play for

England, which was a big statement for a 13-year-old.

Romance is alive in my house (!) Who set me that cars then if it wasn't

due? We've got some snow over the

weekend. Not in Wakefield! We could not build

any snowmen. It depends how hide you were. We

have some lovely pictures that I will show you that came over the

last 24 hours. That was Bradfield of course. Bradfield is very exposed

spot. Of course, we had 90 mph winds their last month but that was

according of snow there as you can see. The second picture that came in

was box and hope. That is really high up and around the Reed there

were problems for a time. 1400 feet up and was quite a covering of snow

there. The third one is from Greenhow Hill and if you have been

on that road between Pateley Bridge and Grassington, you will know how

high that is but it was almost a white out their first time

yesterday. If you didn't get any snow in the last couple of days,

maybe winter has passed us by. Of course, climatological, winter ends

on the 28th of February so perhaps that is it. Let me show you the

address if you have any pictures you want to send me. Of course, you can

tweet them to me at Hudson weather. The week had forecast is fairly

straightforward in that the main theme of the forecast is for milder

air to push in from the south-west during the second half of the week.

Dry and bright tomorrow. A reasonable amount of sundry around.

When's chart shows her little front thickening bringing cloud and patchy

rain on Wednesday night and then on Thursday and Friday should be

bright. Best conditions in eastern areas. We will have extensive low

cloud and redeveloping across the Pennines salute this evening and

overnight with mist and drizzle as well. There will be a reasonable

amount of clear spells further east. Quite stiff easterly breeze today.

If you have shot from wind, perhaps to the Lee of the Yorkshire Wolves,

there could be a touch of ground frost. Countryside area down to 1

degrees. Nearer two or three, 37 in Fahrenheit. Sunrise in the morning

at 7:29am. Here are the next high water tanks. A lot of low cloud

across the Pennines with patchy low cloud elsewhere at first light.

Plenty of sunshine further east and in the south and very gradually be

low cloud should break up across the Pennines to sort we should all see

some brightness, some sunny spells and then later in the day, that

cloud will thicken in the South West bringing a little drizzle tomorrow

evening and tomorrow night. But have a look at the top temperatures for

the afternoon. Feeling quite cool but temperatures will be close to

average for the middle of February. Seven Celsius is 45 in Fahrenheit.

It turns overcast on Tuesday evening and into Wednesday. When's it south

looks quite dull and misty over the hills. Drizzle and patchy light rain

for a time. Not amounting to a great deal that averages in double figures

on Wednesday afternoon. A mild second-half to the week. Brightening

up as well. Patchy rain prayer time on Thursday but the should be so shy

for all of us. Milder weather is on the time.
