it's been quite an opening week at the world Snooker Championships here

:00:26.:00:30.

in Sheffield. We'll be reflecting on that and the rest of the weekend's

:00:31.:00:32.

sporty little later. Why good old-fashioned

vinyl is proving a real And not a bad weekend to get into

:00:35.:00:47.

the garden as high pressure is in charge. Big change next week. The

:00:48.:00:49.

forecast comes shortly. Hundreds have attended the funeral

:00:50.:00:56.

of the brother of a Leeds United footballer who was fatally injured

:00:57.:01:10.

following a shooting in the Harehills area

:01:11.:01:11.

of Leeds in February. Family and friends paid

:01:12.:01:13.

their respects during a moving service for nineteen year old Raheem

mourners comforted each other as they waited to mark a young life

lived and lost. The 19-year-old died

:01:24.:01:30.

following a shooting at a barbershop on nearby

:01:31.:01:31.

Gathorne Terrace in January. He desperately wanted to be

:01:32.:01:40.

popular and was well loved amongst his family and friends,

:01:41.:01:45.

the circles in which he moved. The main message is really a message

:01:46.:01:51.

of love to say that God loves Raheem and that God loves us and want us

:01:52.:01:54.

to lead lives that are filled with love and friendship

:01:55.:01:58.

and loyalty with goodness. During the service, the congregation

:01:59.:02:09.

heard tributes from friends Mourners were told Raheem

:02:10.:02:11.

was fearless, funny and well liked. A postmortem revealed

:02:12.:02:17.

the 19-year-old died as a result of a single gunshot wound

:02:18.:02:19.

to the chest. Two men have been charged

:02:20.:02:24.

with his murder and are due Following this morning's

service, a private service His family have thanked

:02:27.:02:31.

the community for their support and sympathy at what they say has

:02:32.:02:37.

been a very sad time. Next tonight, it's helped overweight

:02:38.:02:43.

people in Rotherham to lose 31 metric tonnes over the last eight

:02:44.:02:49.

years, but tonight it's emerged that the town's Institute of Obesity

:02:50.:02:52.

is to close its doors Yes, the award-winning facility has

:02:53.:02:54.

had its public funding withdrawn, even though 1,500 patients

:02:55.:03:14.

are referred every year. 73% of adults in Rotherham

:03:15.:03:20.

are obese or overweight. It will no longer be funded by the

:03:21.:03:29.

local council. I imagine you are quite disappointed. The news is

:03:30.:03:33.

devastating. We found at several weeks ago we were losing the ?300

:03:34.:03:40.

per year funding but there was a hope that the other clinical

:03:41.:03:44.

commissioning it would save us -- ?300,000 per year. We were

:03:45.:03:49.

cost-effective but we found at last we that not even they can find the

:03:50.:03:52.

money to save us some from the 12th of July there are no services here

:03:53.:03:57.

for NHS patients. you been breaking the news to some of your patients

:03:58.:04:01.

here this evening. Barbara, when you found out, what did you think?

:04:02.:04:08.

Really devastated. When I got home on Wednesday, after they had had

:04:09.:04:12.

matey and went to bed, I cried myself to sleep because I don't know

:04:13.:04:18.

what else I'm going to do. Insurers, the sort of difference that this

:04:19.:04:23.

difference has made -- it shows. You have lost five stone in 18 months,

:04:24.:04:29.

another success story. Absolutely, it has been absolutely fantastic in

:04:30.:04:34.

my weight loss, especially that there I have received. I'm concerned

:04:35.:04:37.

that if I go back to my own GP there are no options left if this place is

:04:38.:04:43.

taken away. Matthew, I think public health rather might argue they are

:04:44.:04:48.

facing pretty big cuts themselves from central Government, ?2 million

:04:49.:04:51.

over three years. He might have some sympathy why they've got to make

:04:52.:04:55.

these cuts. Yes, we understand that they got to make cuts but we been

:04:56.:04:58.

told by politicians and health experts for years that obesity is a

:04:59.:05:01.

priority and the public health crisis. It doesn't sound like they

:05:02.:05:05.

are prioritising obesity is both sets of commissioners are prepared

:05:06.:05:09.

to cut services like this in its entirety. a lot of sadness and

:05:10.:05:17.

confusion among staff and patients, many of them not sure what will be

:05:18.:05:20.

happening beyond the 12th of July. One thing to point out is that if

:05:21.:05:23.

you do have an existing appointment, you should still come along for

:05:24.:05:25.

that. Tonight Rotherham Council said

:05:26.:05:25.

the decision was taken They say, "We need to focus on more

:05:26.:05:27.

preventative services and interventions that reach

:05:28.:05:30.

a greater number of people. We are continuing working

:05:31.:05:33.

with partners and the local media to better inform people about how

:05:34.:05:35.

they can improve their health." More news now and a ?173 million

:05:36.:05:42.

deal to improve transport links in Leeds has been signed off

:05:43.:05:45.

by the Government. The money will be invested in park

by entering the water. It comes after several

:07:17.:07:18.

deaths in recent years, with young people on a night out

:07:19.:07:20.

particularly at risk. The new lifelines are designed to be

:07:21.:07:22.

easy for anyone to use, but today it was fire crews getting

how dangerous it is. It's the first time I've ever seen

while retaining attractiveness is tricky but the lifelines are part

of the wider effort to reduce deaths It's claimed jobs in

the digital tech sector It comes as the city prepares

:09:12.:09:21.

for the annual Digital Jobs Fair and it's great news for job seekers,

:09:22.:09:25.

graduates and the city itself. The sector is huge -

:09:26.:09:28.

it includes website developers, computer game designers,

:09:29.:09:35.

people making software and apps for mobile phones,

:09:36.:09:37.

and even developing artificial It's lucrative, too,

:09:38.:09:39.

with salaries averaging ?50,000. Well, in the Leeds City Region

:09:40.:09:42.

there are 60,000 jobs In the Sheffield City Region that

:09:43.:09:45.

number is over 35,000 jobs. Today, Sky Bet -

:09:46.:09:51.

the online gambling service - has announced 114 new jobs in

Yorkshire. Our business correspondent

:09:58.:10:02.

Danni Hewson has been logging the tech sector here is thriving.

:10:03.:10:21.

There are hundreds of vacancies in the region. This company is

:10:22.:10:24.

expanding and desperate to fill jobs. We've doubled our headcount to

:10:25.:10:31.

1200, pretty much all elite Sheffield. We struggled over 100

:10:32.:10:35.

vacancies and have announced 140 new jobs today so there are all sorts of

:10:36.:10:41.

opportunities for people with the right skills and that is a skills

:10:42.:10:43.

shortage in this very exciting sector right here in our region in

:10:44.:10:46.

Yorkshire and in Leeds and Sheffield. Evidence the region is at

:10:47.:10:50.

the heart of this growing industry is everywhere. This is the UK's

:10:51.:10:54.

first virtual reality experience. It opens to the public tomorrow but I

:10:55.:11:02.

got to use it earlier. It is a really disorientating experience.

:11:03.:11:06.

You do feel like you're in the game with your fellow players, shooting

:11:07.:11:14.

down these bishops. -- these spaceships. The companies are

:11:15.:11:17.

hunting staff and worry some people might be put off by traditional

:11:18.:11:21.

stereotypes. We want to make sure that the gaming career is open to

:11:22.:11:27.

everyone, bring their interests to create these new types of

:11:28.:11:31.

experiences. That's something we've found in our games, from film-making

:11:32.:11:39.

to theatre to just chemistry. Delete a city region, these sort of jobs

:11:40.:11:46.

move the wage range from somewhere in the middle 20s as an average to

:11:47.:11:52.

the higher end, into the 40s and beyond in terms of annual salaries.

:11:53.:11:57.

With this in mind, the council has announced funding for a new

:11:58.:12:00.

technology hub to help create more success stories from the sector.

elder brother Gareth. He believes the public can learn much from

:12:23.:12:28.

and see him and we'd want to do just break down and cry. Format Wilmot, a

:12:29.:12:33.

particularly poignant moment as he looks at the pictures of his late

:12:34.:12:39.

brother Gareth, featured in the Somewhere in Time exhibition. Gareth

:12:40.:12:42.

died last month from dementia at the age of just 40. Four years ago, look

:12:43.:12:48.

not featured Gareth with his family, shortly after he had been diagnosed.

:12:49.:12:57.

It's a shocking situation to go through, someone that was so vibrant

:12:58.:13:00.

and full of life over the course of a couple of years becoming a

:13:01.:13:09.

bedridden husk in a sense. Somewhere in Time is the special project of

a care home for dementia sufferers. He's drifting away, each day you see

little bit more of them go away so it's really important for me to be

:13:24.:13:26.

able to catch on in this exhibition and dedicated to my father. Matt

:13:27.:13:31.

Wilmot is clear about the need to be open about dementia. It's one thing

:13:32.:13:37.

my parents have wanted to do, they wanted to be as open as possible

:13:38.:13:42.

about our situation and our story to just help anyone. If we can make one

:13:43.:13:48.

family's journey through dementia even slightly easier then we'll know

:13:49.:13:54.

that it was all worth it. the images of Somewhere in Time to pick

:13:55.:14:00.

communities living with dementia, a debilitating condition described as

:14:01.:14:03.

an illness that cannot be undone. Sport now, and the Crucible

:14:04.:14:09.

is of course celebrating its 40th anniversary hosting the snooker,

:14:10.:14:11.

and what a week they've had. Tanya's at the Winter Gardens

:14:12.:14:14.

in Sheffield tonight to reflect on that and all the rest

:14:15.:14:16.

of the weekends action. It is indeed. The back of the BBC

:14:17.:14:32.

studio for the opening week and a bit of week two. What an opening

:14:33.:14:40.

week it has been! They have had shock, intrigue and some fantastic

:14:41.:14:50.

snooker. I'm joined by Willie Thorn. How do you get over that We've not

:14:51.:15:00.

got over the shock. It's an amazing thing all in all, it's a big shock

:15:01.:15:06.

for me, it has been the biggest shock ever. That's quite something.

:15:07.:15:14.

Ronnie created some intrigue, he keeps Nagar in the headlines,

:15:15.:15:17.

doesn't he? Unfortunately he does know how to keep quiet! -- keeps

:15:18.:15:25.

snooker in the headlines. Talk me through that shot. It was more like

:15:26.:15:30.

an exhibition from Shaun Murphy. When you watch something like that,

:15:31.:15:33.

it's the sort of thing you do in exhibition shows. The only

:15:34.:15:41.

unfortunate thing is he didn't win the frame. You've been coming here

:15:42.:15:46.

as a player and now as part of the BBC commentary team. It's the 40th

:15:47.:15:55.

anniversary, it's changed a bit. Sheffield itself has changed,

:15:56.:15:59.

Sheffield is snooker city, we love coming here and we've seen the city

:16:00.:16:02.

goal and the town centre is an amazing place to be now. Is it like

:16:03.:16:07.

a working holiday for you, coming to the same place every year? I think

:16:08.:16:13.

so, I know the places to go on the place is not to go. Who's your money

:16:14.:16:23.

on to list the title? Before the tournament, there were ten. Trump

:16:24.:16:25.

was a big loss at the tournament. Now there are nine, I don't know. We

:16:26.:16:32.

could have a new champion this year. Fantastic news that it's coming back

:16:33.:16:35.

for the next ten years. I trust you'll be here for the next ten

:16:36.:16:39.

years? If I'm still alive, I be coming back! Is it a place you look

:16:40.:16:47.

forward to coming to? I've not played here for 16 years and I still

:16:48.:16:50.

get a buzz coming down the Parkway every time I come into Sheffield.

:16:51.:16:57.

The hairs on my arms stand up. This is snooker, everyone wants to be

:16:58.:17:01.

here. you better go, you're nearer seven! Thank you for joining us.

:17:02.:17:07.

Just down the road, the British National swimming Championships is

:17:08.:17:08.

taking place. Last night Sheffield's Max

:17:09.:17:13.

Litchfield smashed the British record on the way to winning

:17:14.:17:15.

the 400m individual medley. His younger brother Joe also made

:17:16.:17:17.

the podium coming in third. Max's time means he's also

:17:18.:17:20.

booked his spot in the team for this Two years ago I didn't quite make

:17:21.:17:23.

the team so this year to come from last year and back it up again

:17:24.:17:30.

this year, and still swimming fast, it's fantastic and hopefully I can

:17:31.:17:33.

do better than that. We only have a couple of rounds left

:17:34.:17:37.

of the regular football season. There are still plenty of twists

:17:38.:17:47.

and turns to come no doubt, but both Huddersfield Town

:17:48.:17:50.

and Bradford City could book Warming up for a final push

:17:51.:17:52.

towards the end of season play-offs. Along with Sheffield Wednesday

:17:53.:17:58.

and Leeds United, Huddersfield town's players still need points

:17:59.:18:01.

to be certain of a championship Leeds United's surprise defeat

:18:02.:18:04.

to Wolves has on them out of the top six for now so Leeds might yet need

:18:05.:18:13.

that extra element of a slip on one They are scheduled to play

:18:14.:18:17.

at Sheffield Wednesday in a fortnight on the final weekend

:18:18.:18:23.

of the season and tomorrow, Fulham come north to face

:18:24.:18:27.

Huddersfield for a match We have the opportunity

:18:28.:18:29.

to secure the play-off spot. It's the first game of the season

:18:30.:18:41.

where we could have something in our hands after

:18:42.:18:44.

the final whistle. In league one, with Sheffield United

:18:45.:18:49.

already crowned champions, Bradford city can follow the Blades

:18:50.:18:51.

to promotion via the play-offs. City only need a single point

:18:52.:18:54.

from their remaining two matches Best do it this weekend though

:18:55.:18:56.

against Wimbledon because Rochdale could be a tricky opponent

:18:57.:19:01.

on the final weekend of the season. When it comes to the play-off,

:19:02.:19:06.

there will be new energy, great excitement from the fans,

:19:07.:19:09.

from us and from Bradford It's a good thing the players

:19:10.:19:13.

are relaxed and happy at training this week,

:19:14.:19:23.

because the supporters England captain Joe Root and wicket

:19:24.:19:25.

keeper Jonny Bairstow were in the Yorkshire line-up

:19:26.:19:37.

for the start of today's county championship match at Hampshire,

:19:38.:19:42.

but the England contingent haven't been able to stop Hampshire

:19:43.:19:44.

from putting a big marker down. Despite two more wickets from rising

:19:45.:19:47.

Yorkshire star Ben Coad, Hampshire have reached 281 for 4

:19:48.:19:51.

at the end of day one. Good luck to Alistair Brownlee is

:19:52.:20:01.

doing his first half Ironman this weekend. That's it from me.

:20:02.:20:04.

They might be all the rage now, but in my day we just called them LPs.

:20:05.:20:10.

I'm going to put one on for you, a real classic.

:20:11.:20:13.

Yes, you press that, and you used to have three

:20:14.:20:17.

settings in my day - 33, 45 and 78, but I'm going to give

:20:18.:20:20.

you a real classic here, because this is Abba.

:20:21.:20:23.

Tomorrow is Record Store Day and to celebrate, BBC Six music's

:20:24.:20:32.

Lauren Laverne broadcast her show from Huddersfield's

:20:33.:20:34.

Good morning, music lovers, we're live at Vinyl Tap in Huddersfield!

:20:35.:20:53.

Vinyl Tap has been an integral part of the Huddersfield music scene

:20:54.:20:58.

for 30 years and has been involved in Record Store Day since it began

:20:59.:21:02.

back in 2007, making it the perfect choice for

:21:03.:21:07.

6 Music to broadcast from ahead of tomorrow's event.

:21:08.:21:09.

It's a nice opportunity to show how important

:21:10.:21:11.

There are 200 taking part in the UK and thousands across the world

:21:12.:21:16.

and it's a showcase for record stores and the part they play

:21:17.:21:19.

in the local music scene and the arts and culture scene

:21:20.:21:21.

It wasn't that long ago that record shops were being forced out

:21:22.:21:52.

of business because of the rising online sales, but in recent years,

:21:53.:21:55.

there's been a resurgence in their popularity, helped no doubt

:21:56.:21:57.

We've been doing this since 1986 and this last year is our best

:21:58.:22:03.

The record companies actually stopped pressing vinyl so when

:22:04.:22:10.

there was no new vinyl coming out, people couldn't buy it

:22:11.:22:14.

because they weren't pressing it, so a lot of the credit goes

:22:15.:22:17.

and the specialist labels that carried on pressing it.

:22:18.:22:25.

The record companies realised that people still wanted it.

:22:26.:22:33.

What has got people choosing vinyl? It's got the old vinyl smell and you

:22:34.:22:40.

can check out the covers. You just come across something interesting.

:22:41.:22:43.

Does something about owning a physical record that you don't get

:22:44.:22:45.

with digital. Record Store Day takes place

:22:46.:22:51.

tomorrow with events being held at shops and venues

:22:52.:22:57.

across the world. Don't worry about the dancing, your

:22:58.:23:06.

career is still intact! Are you a vinyl person? No, I'm not a vinyl

:23:07.:23:14.

person. Where's the record player? I was hoping it would still be here.

:23:15.:23:18.

And when are you two going on Strictly?

:23:19.:23:28.

Thank you for your weather pictures. I think that's a sheep!

:23:29.:23:41.

Lovelace skies in Ripley -- lovely. Keep your pictures coming in. Not a

:23:42.:23:58.

bad day today. Tomorrow is looking cloudy. It will be largely dry and

:23:59.:24:04.

actually this weekend is looking pretty good, mostly settled and

:24:05.:24:08.

that's thanks to high pressure. To day, this sinks to the south and it

:24:09.:24:12.

is a weak weather fronts disappearing. Behind it, things will

:24:13.:24:16.

be dry and temperatures across rural parts down to 45 Celsius but for

:24:17.:24:21.

most of us as you can see in the graphics, seven or eight Celsius

:24:22.:24:25.

should about do it. High water tomorrow, very early at 1:40am and

:24:26.:24:33.

then 15:50pm later. It will be priced out of day across parts of

:24:34.:24:38.

West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire especially, cloudy in the north but

:24:39.:24:43.

any kind of light rain showers will clear and heavy one will see a bit

:24:44.:24:46.

of brightness at least tomorrow. Cool along the coast at 11 or 12

:24:47.:24:52.

Celsius, we do have a northerly breeze. The winds are quite cold but

:24:53.:25:00.

at least they are light winds. The high pressure is on charge on

:25:01.:25:02.

Saturday and it sticks around as we look to Sunday and Monday, except

:25:03.:25:07.

here comes an area of low pressure. A bit of science, winds rotate

:25:08.:25:10.

around low pressure in an anticlockwise fashion so that brings

:25:11.:25:15.

down cold air from the north. That's going to have a knock on our

:25:16.:25:19.

temperatures. Saturday and Sunday, 12 or 13 Celsius, down the goal as

:25:20.:25:25.

we look towards Tuesday and Wednesday, so we could see a bit of

:25:26.:25:29.

sleet and snow mainly on high ground. I think what we're more

:25:30.:25:33.

likely to feel are really bitterly cold winds with the risk of wintry

:25:34.:25:38.

showers. Some of these following to lower levels, but definitely, a

:25:39.:25:43.

different feel to the weather next week. We're going to need an extra

:25:44.:25:48.

layer. And keep dancing to keep warm!

:25:49.:25:56.

We'll see you next week from one of the same. Good night.

:25:57.:26:01.
