Good evening, you're watching Monday's Look North.

:00:00.:00:00.

Why a leading feminist is challenging the town's

:00:00.:00:10.

He's creating something which is actually extreme and intolerant.

:00:11.:00:14.

And what Shipley needs to be is united.

:00:15.:00:15.

It's got nothing to do with the people of Shipley,

:00:16.:00:18.

or representing Shipley in Parliament.

:00:19.:00:19.

It's a publicity stunt for a London-based party

:00:20.:00:24.

and I suppose that's all they are really interested in.

:00:25.:00:30.

More affordable homes in part of Yorkshire.

:00:31.:00:34.

Will cutting red tape and speeding up the planning process

:00:35.:00:36.

The football season is going to the wire -

:00:37.:00:40.

Leeds and Hudderfield stutter but Wednesday secure

:00:41.:00:43.

And we'll look back on an historic day as thousands turn out

:00:44.:00:50.

to celebrate the railways' past, present and future.

:00:51.:00:59.

Fine weather we had yesterday, distant memory in the next 24 hours.

:01:00.:01:06.

Heavy and perhaps a wintry showers on the way. Join me for the

:01:07.:01:09.

forecast. It's less than a week

:01:10.:01:14.

since the Prime Minister called the general election,

:01:15.:01:18.

but already there are signs that things are turning nasty in the safe

:01:19.:01:21.

Conservative seat of Shipley. The Women's Equality Party

:01:22.:01:24.

is fielding a candidate against Philip Davies

:01:25.:01:26.

because of his views on women. Mr Davies has been criticised

:01:27.:01:29.

in the past for his opinions So what do local people make of this

:01:30.:01:31.

"battle of the sexes"? Danni Hewson is in

:01:32.:01:37.

Shipley for us tonight. Harry, for the last 12 years, Philip

:01:38.:01:54.

Davies has been the MP here. His constituency office is just down the

:01:55.:01:58.

road. He is a popular MP. At the last election he got a massive

:01:59.:02:04.

majority, the largest of any of the West Yorkshire Conservative MPs.

:02:05.:02:07.

However, some of the comments he has made about feminism and women's

:02:08.:02:13.

rights have provoked controversy. So much so, deceit has become the

:02:14.:02:18.

target of the relatively new women's quality target. Now that in itself

:02:19.:02:24.

has provoked mixed reviews from people here in Shipley including

:02:25.:02:28.

women's groups. Including men's health, male suicide

:02:29.:02:36.

rates and the underperformance of boys in schools. These must be

:02:37.:02:43.

issues addressed in a considered way. Philip Davie says he is putting

:02:44.:02:52.

focus on men's rights but his views on domestic violence have angered

:02:53.:02:58.

women's groups. The women's a quality party have chosen this C2

:02:59.:03:01.

contest and it didn't come as a surprise. Philip Davie is, incumbent

:03:02.:03:08.

MP has taken the privilege of being a local MP the Shipley to focus his

:03:09.:03:13.

national platform on an anti-woman crusade. It is not a very good for

:03:14.:03:18.

the women of Shipley or the men of Shipley. He is creating something

:03:19.:03:25.

which is extreme and intolerant. For his part, Philip Davies says he

:03:26.:03:29.

welcomes the debate. I have asked the party to name one thing in 12

:03:30.:03:33.

years as the MP I have ever said which would call for women to be

:03:34.:03:36.

treated less favourably than men and they haven't been able to find one

:03:37.:03:41.

thing in 12 years as an MP. I have never said such a thing and I never

:03:42.:03:46.

would say such a thing. This is just a publicity stunt. It has got

:03:47.:03:50.

nothing to do with the people of Shipley or representing Shipley in

:03:51.:03:55.

Parliament. Today's political wrangling is just noise but this

:03:56.:03:59.

play session in the heart of Shipley, politics is not a new topic

:04:00.:04:06.

of conversation. But here it is a quality and stability that top the

:04:07.:04:10.

agenda. Making sure centres like this get funded because it is

:04:11.:04:15.

important for children to be able to access these services. Brexit is the

:04:16.:04:20.

most important thing to me. However, being a father and a grandfather, I

:04:21.:04:24.

can see all the services that have been caught, specially for the

:04:25.:04:28.

younger end. As well as concern it may become a one issue campaign,

:04:29.:04:34.

others are happy campaigner from outside of the area has been

:04:35.:04:38.

parachuted in. If his party are serious about change, I want to see

:04:39.:04:42.

them working with local residents in Shipley to give them a voice and

:04:43.:04:46.

support so their voice shall be heard. That is what a general

:04:47.:04:51.

election is about. Labour will stand their own candidate well the Liberal

:04:52.:04:54.

Democrats and Green Party are considering their options.

:04:55.:04:59.

So I mixed response here. I am joined by Jenny Wilson. In the

:05:00.:05:11.

summer last year, Philip was on a platform for the Justice for men and

:05:12.:05:14.

boys group which were men's rights group. He described women who

:05:15.:05:19.

campaigned for gender equality as feminists who want their cake and

:05:20.:05:24.

eat it. Some local women started to bake cakes and distribute them with

:05:25.:05:28.

information about some of the things Philip has been saying, to local

:05:29.:05:32.

people and we get donations for the local women's refuge and also a

:05:33.:05:38.

mental health charity. You have history with Philip Davies, what has

:05:39.:05:42.

been your reaction by the women's equality party, did you know about

:05:43.:05:48.

it? No, we didn't. It has been a shock, to be honest. We have been

:05:49.:05:52.

working locally for quite some time and we have a strong network on

:05:53.:05:58.

social media and we have 1500 women who came to the women's in January

:05:59.:06:03.

and we have good networks locally and we were working with all the

:06:04.:06:07.

parties, we are a nonpartisan group, to see if we could find some unity.

:06:08.:06:16.

Among those different political parties, try and do politics better

:06:17.:06:20.

than the kind of politics that Philip has been doing. Broadly, you

:06:21.:06:24.

welcome the decision but would have liked it to have been done in a

:06:25.:06:29.

different way? Of course, it is great to have attention for Shipley

:06:30.:06:34.

for something other than the kind of politics Philip represents, but

:06:35.:06:37.

flying in a candidate from London who has no local connections, who

:06:38.:06:44.

hasn't worked with the local grassroots groups, it doesn't

:06:45.:06:48.

inspire us it will bring the kind of unity and opposition we need to

:06:49.:06:52.

represent Shipley better as a place that isn't a place full of the kind

:06:53.:06:56.

of things Philip Davie says. Thank you for joining us.

:06:57.:06:59.

And there'll be a full list of candidates standing

A primary school in Morley was closed for a short time this

afternoon after a police operation at a nearby premises.

Children at seven Hills Primary School were unable

to leave and parents were also trapped inside.

A 48-hour strike by RMT union members working

:07:41.:07:43.

for Virgin Trains East Coast has been suspended.

:07:44.:07:45.

The strike was due to take place this Friday and Saturday,

:07:46.:07:48.

the same weekend as the Tour de Yorkshire.

:07:49.:07:51.

The RMT union says it's suspended the action following progress

which has been made in talks with the rail operator.

:07:55.:07:59.

The company behind the project to resurface roads and pavements

:08:00.:08:02.

in Sheffield has revealed it's received 5,500 complaints

:08:03.:08:04.

More than 2000 complaints were about street lighting,

:08:05.:08:11.

500 of them were about concerns over the removal and

:08:12.:08:13.

Amey say they take all complaints seriously and work

The South Yorkshire school with a unique solution to rising

For thousands of people living in rural parts of the region

:08:30.:08:41.

buying their own house has become an unobtainable dream.

:08:42.:08:43.

A pilot scheme has been launched in North Yorkshire to try

:08:44.:08:46.

Hambleton District Council wants to see more affordable houses built

:08:47.:08:49.

and has promised to help by cutting red tape and speeding up

:08:50.:08:52.

Rural North Yorkshire has long been a desirable place to live.

:08:53.:08:59.

But buying a house here is not that simple.

:09:00.:09:03.

There's not many for sale and those that are, are often

:09:04.:09:06.

Chad and his partner Caroline are first-time

:09:07.:09:13.

buyers who are keen to live in rural North Yorkshire.

:09:14.:09:16.

Affordable options though, are few and far between.

:09:17.:09:18.

The only option would be to go into a town or city.

:09:19.:09:23.

We'd have to move further away to get the cheaper houses,

:09:24.:09:26.

but we don't want to move away from our area because all

:09:27.:09:28.

In Hambleton, a large rural district of North Yorkshire,

:09:29.:09:32.

a pilot scheme has been launched to build more housing

:09:33.:09:34.

The scheme is being led by the council and in market

:09:35.:09:42.

towns like Easingwold, it aims to speed up the planning

:09:43.:09:45.

process by matching potential buyers with a land owners,

:09:46.:09:52.

process by matching potential buyers with land owners, small builders

:09:53.:09:54.

The council has also promised a more flexible approach to planning.

:09:55.:09:58.

Good news for the Jacksons, whose plans to build their own home

:09:59.:10:01.

I hope so, it would be wonderful if we did.

:10:02.:10:04.

There's been lots of ideas, lots of words that have been put

:10:05.:10:07.

into my head that we can possibly use to help the planning forwards.

:10:08.:10:12.

We feel that this is away by developing smaller sites,

:10:13.:10:15.

it is something that is appropriate for a village development,

:10:16.:10:19.

By this time next year, it's hoped the pilot scheme

:10:20.:10:26.

will have made a difference, and allowing people like Dan

:10:27.:10:29.

and Caroline to stay and live in these rural communities.

Phil Connell, BBC Look North, North Yorkshire.

:10:33.:10:38.

School children have been given the chance to find out what it's

:10:39.:10:41.

like to run with Olympic gold medallist Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill

:10:42.:10:44.

at a special event at Chatsworth House today.

:10:45.:10:46.

Dame Jess was there to launch her new running festival which will take

:10:47.:10:50.

The idea is to get youngsters and their families moving

:10:51.:10:53.

It's not every day you get to go running with a Dame.

:10:54.:11:07.

But that's exactly what these youngsters got to do this morning

:11:08.:11:12.

with the stunning backdrop of the Chatsworth

:11:13.:11:14.

Less than a week from visiting Buckingham Palace,

:11:15.:11:17.

Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill was here launching her family run,

:11:18.:11:19.

To receive that Damehood was so special, it does bring

:11:20.:11:23.

all the memories of starting out in athletic as a ten-year-old

:11:24.:11:25.

and just enjoying running and throwing and never ever

:11:26.:11:28.

expecting that it would end in a Damehood.

:11:29.:11:32.

Was it a bit nerve-racking on the day?

:11:33.:11:43.

Yeah, you just don't want to do anything wrong and you want to get

:11:44.:11:47.

the right time and make sure you curtsy and you step

:11:48.:11:50.

It was just brilliant and Prince William was

:11:51.:11:53.

She may now have retired from athletics, but Dame Jess wants

:11:54.:11:58.

everyone to realise that keeping fit is essential for a healthy life.

:11:59.:12:01.

Sport and being active has been my whole life for so many years

:12:02.:12:04.

I'm very much wanting to keep fit and keep as active as possible

:12:05.:12:09.

and I want to encourage as many people to enjoy running,

:12:10.:12:12.

enjoy sport and enjoy living a healthy lifestyle.

:12:13.:12:17.

After all that, time for a quick sit down and some questions

:12:18.:12:20.

You've got a question for Dame Jessica, haven't you?

:12:21.:12:23.

Since I was ten and I'm now 31, so a very, very long time.

:12:24.:12:33.

If you had to pick another event, what would it be?

:12:34.:12:36.

So out of all the events I did, my favourite event

:12:37.:12:39.

was the 100m hurdles, so that was my absolute favourite.

:12:40.:12:42.

Is it odd when people call you Dame Jessica?

:12:43.:12:47.

It's hoped thousands of people will step into their running shoes

:12:48.:12:51.

and join Dame Jessica on July the 9th.

:12:52.:12:54.

Ian White, BBC Look North, Chatsworth.

:12:55.:13:05.

Couldn't actually see him wearing his running shoes. He started the

:13:06.:13:12.

400 metres at two p.m., just finished now. It is all happening in

:13:13.:13:19.

sport. Football is getting very tense.

:13:20.:13:22.

Sheffield Wednesday took a big step towards securing

:13:23.:13:24.

a place in the playoffs with a fifth successive win.

:13:25.:13:26.

Goals from Steven Fletcher and Gary Hooper helped them

:13:27.:13:28.

The Owls are in fourth place with two matches left,

:13:29.:13:32.

and they'll be hoping to go one better than last season

:13:33.:13:35.

when they lost in the playoff final at Wembley.

:13:36.:13:37.

Also chasing promotion to the Premier League

:13:38.:13:39.

are Huddersfield Town, who've been in the top six

:13:40.:13:41.

The Terriers knew a win over Fulham on Saturday

:13:42.:13:46.

Dave Edwards was at the John Smiths Stadium.

:13:47.:13:51.

They've been cheering louder than ever hear this season.

:13:52.:14:00.

They've been cheering louder than ever here this season.

:14:01.:14:02.

Huddersfield Town, the surprise package of the Championship.

:14:03.:14:04.

Less than ?200 for a season of Premier League football

:14:05.:14:07.

They're not there yet, but this is a terrific

:14:08.:14:10.

time to be a terrier, as these two no better than most.

:14:11.:14:13.

I've been supporting them since 1952, I think it was.

:14:14.:14:15.

Can't remember much about it, but the atmosphere this time,

:14:16.:14:18.

The year we went up to the First Division in 79,

:14:19.:14:31.

80 was possibly better because we actually got there

:14:32.:14:34.

But obviously in terms of achievement, this is incredible.

:14:35.:14:38.

With just three minutes played, this was the perfect start.

:14:39.:14:42.

Chris Lowe was fouled, but picked himself up and made

:14:43.:14:46.

And scores, to send Huddersfield on their way.

:14:47.:14:53.

From there, Town's opponents showed why they are also in with a chance

:14:54.:14:56.

of promotion with four goals before half-time.

:14:57.:15:00.

We have to say, Huddersfield's defending help them out.

:15:01.:15:03.

I wasn't unhappy with the attitude or I wasn't unhappy with the effort,

:15:04.:15:12.

it was only in which problems, mistakes in concentration

:15:13.:15:15.

So, we know why we lost this game and now we leave it behind us, learn

:15:16.:15:20.

Despite this defeat, there's still a positive mood

:15:21.:15:25.

The Terriers now need two more points to book a play-off place

:15:26.:15:32.

Leeds United though will need a lot more than that.

:15:33.:15:36.

Burton Albion that is, who beat them 2-1.

:15:37.:15:40.

By the time Kyle Bartley bundled this one in,

:15:41.:15:44.

deployed as an emergency striker, the damage had already been done.

:15:45.:15:48.

It leaves Leeds three points adrift of the top six

:15:49.:15:52.

Let's have a look at the run-in then.

:15:53.:16:00.

Sheffield Wednesday face a tough game against Fulham

:16:01.:16:02.

Huddersfield have a game in hand and could clinch their playoff

:16:03.:16:06.

And Leeds really need to win both their matches and hope other

:16:07.:16:10.

Well tonight a cast of former Leeds United stars

:16:11.:16:15.

are at the premiere of a new film celebrating the club's glory days

:16:16.:16:19.

It's called "Do You Want to Win" and it's headlining

:16:20.:16:24.

We have been speaking to Wilkinson himself, who is crossing his fingers

:16:25.:16:38.

the 2017 team can still make it into the Premier League.

:16:39.:16:42.

I hope so, because football needs Leeds United and needs them in the

:16:43.:16:48.

top sphere. Never give up hope. They have a great young manager, fresh,

:16:49.:16:54.

ambitious, good coach, knows what he wants. So they have got every

:16:55.:16:55.

chance. A minute's silence was held before

:16:56.:16:59.

Bradford City's home game against AFC Wimbledon,

:17:00.:17:02.

as players and supporters remembered the 56 people who died in a fire

:17:03.:17:06.

at Valley Parade in 1985. The Bantams won the game 3-0,

:17:07.:17:09.

securing their place in the League One playoffs,

:17:10.:17:11.

Mark Marshall with BBC Radio Sheffield understands

:17:12.:17:13.

Sheffield United have agreed to re-sign Ched Evans

:17:14.:17:18.

for a fee of around ?500,000. Evans last played for the Blades

:17:19.:17:23.

in 2012 before a rape conviction saw him serve two and a half

:17:24.:17:26.

years in prison. He was found not guilty

:17:27.:17:28.

at a retrial and currently plays for Chesterfield,

:17:29.:17:32.

who've been relegated to League 2. In rugby league, there

was arguably one of the biggest Challenge Cup upsets of all time,

:17:37.:17:39.

as Championship side Swinton beat Super League strugglers

:17:40.:17:41.

Huddersfield. With just four minutes to play,

:17:42.:17:44.

this try from Luke Waterworth gave the Lions an astonishing victory

:17:45.:17:47.

by 28-24 - their first win over And you can see the pick

:17:48.:17:51.

of the weekend's action on the Super League Show tonight

for Gomersal's Lois Toulson in the women's ten

:18:16.:18:20.

metre synchro as well. And in the cricket,

:18:21.:18:22.

there was a batting masterclass from Yorkshire captain Gary Ballance

:18:23.:18:25.

in their County Championship Having already scored a century

:18:26.:18:27.

in the first innings, he followed it up with a double

:18:28.:18:32.

century in the second He has had a fantastic staff. He is

:18:33.:18:50.

leading from the front. We are short of bowlers, so at the moment I think

:18:51.:18:54.

Gary Ballance has been an inspired choice. Scarborough athletic play

:18:55.:19:05.

tomorrow in a play-off match, you missed that. Sorry.

:19:06.:19:10.

We often hear how schools are strapped for cash

:19:11.:19:12.

A school in South Yorkshire has been forced to close its library and turn

:19:13.:19:17.

it into another classroom to accommodate a surge

:19:18.:19:19.

Well the Head teacher at Birkwood Primary School

:19:20.:19:24.

near Barnsley was so upset about losing the facility,

:19:25.:19:26.

she came up with a 'novel' solution to encourage the kids to read.

:19:27.:19:29.

Michelle Lyons has been to visit the school.

:19:30.:19:36.

The wheels on the bus go round and round. Do the wheels on your bus go

:19:37.:19:46.

round and round? No, it is our reading bus.

:19:47.:19:50.

# Joined the joyriders. If you're

:19:51.:19:55.

wondering what a reading bus looks like, here it is. This double-decker

:19:56.:20:01.

doubles up as a library sends this primary School in Barnsley had to

:20:02.:20:06.

convert bears into a classroom due to an influx of pupils. Our priority

:20:07.:20:11.

is reading, so we had to think outside the box. I bought a

:20:12.:20:16.

double-decker bus of eBay with the support of my governing body and the

friends of the school, staff and the community and it has made it an

:20:23.:20:25.

amazing resource for our wonderful children. It was bought from a

:20:26.:20:33.

playgroup in London, but it hasn't always been based down south. A

:20:34.:20:38.

little bit of research revealed it started its service in the

:20:39.:20:41.

neighbouring village of Shettleston before joining athlete in London for

:20:42.:20:48.

ten years before becoming a Playbus in Lewisham. Now it has returned

:20:49.:20:54.

home. I think it is real good for people to read. And I think I might

:20:55.:21:01.

enjoy it. I like it because it has an upstairs and you can read. At

:21:02.:21:10.

first, people thought it was a crazy idea, but soon everybody got on

:21:11.:21:16.

board. My reaction work, the head teacher had finally flipped her lead

:21:17.:21:21.

and was cracking up, actually. But what a fantastic idea it's turned

:21:22.:21:26.

out to be. I think it will inspire the children into reading. The bus

:21:27.:21:33.

may have come to the end of its journey, but these children are just

:21:34.:21:36.

beginning there is, in two books that will transport them into the

:21:37.:21:38.

depths of their imagination. Doesn't matter where you read, or

:21:39.:21:54.

what you read, as long as you do. Unless it is Paul Hudson's weather

:21:55.:21:55.

book. Is it my turn? But there was

:21:56.:22:00.

something else to come. Let's look at the pictures that have

:22:01.:22:16.

come in. This is a red kite flying over Harrogate. Thanks for sending

:22:17.:22:25.

that in. The second is some clouds above Milton Saltaire. And the third

:22:26.:22:30.

one, look at the contrast between the oilseed and the clouds. We will

:22:31.:22:37.

have loads of those clouds are. You have the usual suspects, weather

:22:38.:22:44.

watchers, Twitter and Paul the weatherman.

:22:45.:22:49.

You are on Insta gram? There is no age limit. Let's look at

:22:50.:22:55.

the headlines. Pretty unsettled, wintry showers and local

:22:56.:22:59.

thunderstorms. Bit of Heol thrown in. The air is coming from the

:23:00.:23:06.

Arctic circle. The ingredients are there for some Big Show so don't be

:23:07.:23:10.

surprised if you catch a thunderstorm tomorrow and a bit of

:23:11.:23:15.

snow in places. Into the North, showers feeding from the north and

:23:16.:23:20.

many are fine at the moment, but we will see a scattering of showers in

:23:21.:23:23.

places. By the end of the night, showers will be largely confined to

:23:24.:23:29.

eastern areas. Bit of snow for the North Yorkshire Moors inland and it

:23:30.:23:35.

will be cold, lowest temperatures Sheffield, Penistone about zero,

:23:36.:23:39.

plus one so there will be a frost in places. The sunrises in the morning

:23:40.:23:53.

at 4:44 a.m.. Showers in coastal areas and then they will develop

:23:54.:23:57.

more widely. Into the afternoon it is a showery picture. Showers quite

:23:58.:24:02.

heavy in places, hailstones, thunder and a bit of snow thrown in. Let's

:24:03.:24:09.

look at the top temperatures. Fresh north-west winds, highs of eight or

:24:10.:24:14.

9 degrees, nine Celsius is 48 Fahrenheit. The further outlook will

:24:15.:24:20.

follow later at 10:30 p.m.. That is the forecast.

:24:21.:24:22.

Thousands of people lined the East Coast main line yesterday

:24:23.:24:28.

Four generations of trains spanning the past, present

:24:29.:24:31.

and future of rail travel, running in parallel

:24:32.:24:33.

For many it was a proud and emotional moment.

:24:34.:24:36.

We leave you tonight with those fantastic scenes.

:24:37.:24:45.

I am back for the latest news, but enjoy these pictures.

:24:46.:25:05.

You have four trains running together in parallel and they

:25:06.:25:35.

represent the history of East Coast mainline express passenger travel.

:25:36.:25:39.

That is very significant and I don't think we have had for train running

:25:40.:25:43.

together like that is since probably before the war.

:25:44.:25:52.

I have come in from Stoke Newington Hackney. Friday evening hours

:25:53.:25:58.

listening to BBC London and they said they would be sending these

:25:59.:26:03.

trains into York train station, so I came up and said, the Sunday I will

:26:04.:26:05.

be down here. It is an absolutely fantastic

:26:06.:26:20.

turnout. That has been people around since 6am and it shows the

:26:21.:26:24.

enthusiasm people have got to see an event like this.

:26:25.:26:52.

There are times in the life of a nation

:26:53.:26:54.

when the choices we make define the character of our country,

:26:55.:26:59.

times when people stand up and demand real, significant change.
