:01:07. > :01:09.Heavy and perhaps a wintry showers on the way. Join me for the
:01:10. > :01:14.forecast. It's less than a week
:01:15. > :01:18.since the Prime Minister called the general election,
:01:19. > :01:21.but already there are signs that things are turning nasty in the safe
:01:22. > :01:24.Conservative seat of Shipley. The Women's Equality Party
:01:25. > :01:26.is fielding a candidate against Philip Davies
:01:27. > :01:29.because of his views on women. Mr Davies has been criticised
:01:30. > :01:31.in the past for his opinions So what do local people make of this
:01:32. > :01:37."battle of the sexes"? Danni Hewson is in
:01:38. > :01:54.Shipley for us tonight. Harry, for the last 12 years, Philip
:01:55. > :01:58.Davies has been the MP here. His constituency office is just down the
:01:59. > :02:04.road. He is a popular MP. At the last election he got a massive
:02:05. > :02:07.majority, the largest of any of the West Yorkshire Conservative MPs.
:02:08. > :02:13.However, some of the comments he has made about feminism and women's
:02:14. > :02:18.rights have provoked controversy. So much so, deceit has become the
:02:19. > :02:24.target of the relatively new women's quality target. Now that in itself
:02:25. > :02:28.has provoked mixed reviews from people here in Shipley including
:02:29. > :02:36.women's groups. Including men's health, male suicide
:02:37. > :02:43.rates and the underperformance of boys in schools. These must be
:02:44. > :02:52.issues addressed in a considered way. Philip Davie says he is putting
:02:53. > :02:58.focus on men's rights but his views on domestic violence have angered
:02:59. > :03:01.women's groups. The women's a quality party have chosen this C2
:03:02. > :03:08.contest and it didn't come as a surprise. Philip Davie is, incumbent
:03:09. > :03:13.MP has taken the privilege of being a local MP the Shipley to focus his
:03:14. > :03:18.national platform on an anti-woman crusade. It is not a very good for
:03:19. > :03:25.the women of Shipley or the men of Shipley. He is creating something
:03:26. > :03:29.which is extreme and intolerant. For his part, Philip Davies says he
:03:30. > :03:33.welcomes the debate. I have asked the party to name one thing in 12
:03:34. > :03:36.years as the MP I have ever said which would call for women to be
:03:37. > :03:41.treated less favourably than men and they haven't been able to find one
:03:42. > :03:46.thing in 12 years as an MP. I have never said such a thing and I never
:03:47. > :03:50.would say such a thing. This is just a publicity stunt. It has got
:03:51. > :03:55.nothing to do with the people of Shipley or representing Shipley in
:03:56. > :03:59.Parliament. Today's political wrangling is just noise but this
:04:00. > :04:06.play session in the heart of Shipley, politics is not a new topic
:04:07. > :04:10.of conversation. But here it is a quality and stability that top the
:04:11. > :04:15.agenda. Making sure centres like this get funded because it is
:04:16. > :04:20.important for children to be able to access these services. Brexit is the
:04:21. > :04:24.most important thing to me. However, being a father and a grandfather, I
:04:25. > :04:28.can see all the services that have been caught, specially for the
:04:29. > :04:34.younger end. As well as concern it may become a one issue campaign,
:04:35. > :04:38.others are happy campaigner from outside of the area has been
:04:39. > :04:42.parachuted in. If his party are serious about change, I want to see
:04:43. > :04:46.them working with local residents in Shipley to give them a voice and
:04:47. > :04:51.support so their voice shall be heard. That is what a general
:04:52. > :04:54.election is about. Labour will stand their own candidate well the Liberal
:04:55. > :04:59.Democrats and Green Party are considering their options.
:05:00. > :05:11.So I mixed response here. I am joined by Jenny Wilson. In the
:05:12. > :05:14.summer last year, Philip was on a platform for the Justice for men and
:05:15. > :05:19.boys group which were men's rights group. He described women who
:05:20. > :05:24.campaigned for gender equality as feminists who want their cake and
:05:25. > :05:28.eat it. Some local women started to bake cakes and distribute them with
:05:29. > :05:32.information about some of the things Philip has been saying, to local
:05:33. > :05:38.people and we get donations for the local women's refuge and also a
:05:39. > :05:42.mental health charity. You have history with Philip Davies, what has
:05:43. > :05:48.been your reaction by the women's equality party, did you know about
:05:49. > :05:52.it? No, we didn't. It has been a shock, to be honest. We have been
:05:53. > :05:58.working locally for quite some time and we have a strong network on
:05:59. > :06:03.social media and we have 1500 women who came to the women's in January
:06:04. > :06:07.and we have good networks locally and we were working with all the
:06:08. > :06:16.parties, we are a nonpartisan group, to see if we could find some unity.
:06:17. > :06:20.Among those different political parties, try and do politics better
:06:21. > :06:24.than the kind of politics that Philip has been doing. Broadly, you
:06:25. > :06:29.welcome the decision but would have liked it to have been done in a
:06:30. > :06:34.different way? Of course, it is great to have attention for Shipley
:06:35. > :06:37.for something other than the kind of politics Philip represents, but
:06:38. > :06:44.flying in a candidate from London who has no local connections, who
:06:45. > :06:48.hasn't worked with the local grassroots groups, it doesn't
:06:49. > :06:52.inspire us it will bring the kind of unity and opposition we need to
:06:53. > :06:56.represent Shipley better as a place that isn't a place full of the kind
:06:57. > :06:59.of things Philip Davie says. Thank you for joining us.
:07:00. > :07:01.And there'll be a full list of candidates standing

:11:29. > :11:32.expecting that it would end in a Damehood.
:11:33. > :11:43.Was it a bit nerve-racking on the day?

:12:34. > :12:36.If you had to pick another event, what would it be?
:12:37. > :12:39.So out of all the events I did, my favourite event

:14:14. > :14:15.I've been supporting them since 1952, I think it was.
:14:16. > :14:18.Can't remember much about it, but the atmosphere this time,
:14:19. > :14:31.The year we went up to the First Division in 79,
:14:32. > :14:34.80 was possibly better because we actually got there
:14:35. > :14:38.But obviously in terms of achievement, this is incredible.
:14:39. > :14:42.With just three minutes played, this was the perfect start.
:14:43. > :14:46.Chris Lowe was fouled, but picked himself up and made
:14:47. > :14:53.And scores, to send Huddersfield on their way.
:14:54. > :14:56.From there, Town's opponents showed why they are also in with a chance
:14:57. > :15:00.of promotion with four goals before half-time.
:15:01. > :15:03.We have to say, Huddersfield's defending help them out.
:15:04. > :15:12.I wasn't unhappy with the attitude or I wasn't unhappy with the effort,
:15:13. > :15:15.it was only in which problems, mistakes in concentration
:15:16. > :15:20.So, we know why we lost this game and now we leave it behind us, learn
:15:21. > :15:25.Despite this defeat, there's still a positive mood
:15:26. > :15:32.The Terriers now need two more points to book a play-off place

:16:43. > :16:48.I hope so, because football needs Leeds United and needs them in the
:16:49. > :16:54.top sphere. Never give up hope. They have a great young manager, fresh,
:16:55. > :16:55.ambitious, good coach, knows what he wants. So they have got every

:20:34. > :20:38.playgroup in London, but it hasn't always been based down south. A
:20:39. > :20:41.little bit of research revealed it started its service in the
:20:42. > :20:48.neighbouring village of Shettleston before joining athlete in London for
:20:49. > :20:54.ten years before becoming a Playbus in Lewisham. Now it has returned
:20:55. > :21:01.home. I think it is real good for people to read. And I think I might
:21:02. > :21:10.enjoy it. I like it because it has an upstairs and you can read. At
:21:11. > :21:16.first, people thought it was a crazy idea, but soon everybody got on
:21:17. > :21:21.board. My reaction work, the head teacher had finally flipped her lead
:21:22. > :21:26.and was cracking up, actually. But what a fantastic idea it's turned
:21:27. > :21:33.out to be. I think it will inspire the children into reading. The bus
:21:34. > :21:36.may have come to the end of its journey, but these children are just
:21:37. > :21:38.beginning there is, in two books that will transport them into the
:21:39. > :21:54.depths of their imagination. Doesn't matter where you read, or
:21:55. > :21:55.what you read, as long as you do. Unless it is Paul Hudson's weather
:21:56. > :22:00.book. Is it my turn? But there was
:22:01. > :22:16.something else to come. Let's look at the pictures that have
:22:17. > :22:25.come in. This is a red kite flying over Harrogate. Thanks for sending
:22:26. > :22:30.that in. The second is some clouds above Milton Saltaire. And the third
:22:31. > :22:37.one, look at the contrast between the oilseed and the clouds. We will
:22:38. > :22:44.have loads of those clouds are. You have the usual suspects, weather
:22:45. > :22:49.watchers, Twitter and Paul the weatherman.
:22:50. > :22:55.You are on Insta gram? There is no age limit. Let's look at
:22:56. > :22:59.the headlines. Pretty unsettled, wintry showers and local
:23:00. > :23:06.thunderstorms. Bit of Heol thrown in. The air is coming from the
:23:07. > :23:10.Arctic circle. The ingredients are there for some Big Show so don't be
:23:11. > :23:15.surprised if you catch a thunderstorm tomorrow and a bit of
:23:16. > :23:20.snow in places. Into the North, showers feeding from the north and
:23:21. > :23:23.many are fine at the moment, but we will see a scattering of showers in
:23:24. > :23:29.places. By the end of the night, showers will be largely confined to
:23:30. > :23:35.eastern areas. Bit of snow for the North Yorkshire Moors inland and it
:23:36. > :23:39.will be cold, lowest temperatures Sheffield, Penistone about zero,
:23:40. > :23:53.plus one so there will be a frost in places. The sunrises in the morning
:23:54. > :23:57.at 4:44 a.m.. Showers in coastal areas and then they will develop
:23:58. > :24:02.more widely. Into the afternoon it is a showery picture. Showers quite
:24:03. > :24:09.heavy in places, hailstones, thunder and a bit of snow thrown in. Let's
:24:10. > :24:14.look at the top temperatures. Fresh north-west winds, highs of eight or
:24:15. > :24:20.9 degrees, nine Celsius is 48 Fahrenheit. The further outlook will
:24:21. > :24:22.follow later at 10:30 p.m.. That is the forecast.
:24:23. > :24:28.Thousands of people lined the East Coast main line yesterday
:24:29. > :24:31.Four generations of trains spanning the past, present
:24:32. > :24:33.and future of rail travel, running in parallel
:24:34. > :24:36.For many it was a proud and emotional moment.
:24:37. > :24:45.We leave you tonight with those fantastic scenes.
:24:46. > :25:05.I am back for the latest news, but enjoy these pictures.
:25:06. > :25:35.You have four trains running together in parallel and they
:25:36. > :25:39.represent the history of East Coast mainline express passenger travel.
:25:40. > :25:43.That is very significant and I don't think we have had for train running
:25:44. > :25:52.together like that is since probably before the war.
:25:53. > :25:58.I have come in from Stoke Newington Hackney. Friday evening hours
:25:59. > :26:03.listening to BBC London and they said they would be sending these
:26:04. > :26:05.trains into York train station, so I came up and said, the Sunday I will
:26:06. > :26:20.be down here. It is an absolutely fantastic
:26:21. > :26:24.turnout. That has been people around since 6am and it shows the
:26:25. > :26:52.enthusiasm people have got to see an event like this.
:26:53. > :26:54.There are times in the life of a nation
:26:55. > :26:59.when the choices we make define the character of our country,
:27:00. > :27:05.times when people stand up and demand real, significant change.
