Good evening, welcome to Look North. news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight - compensation for sexual abuse. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Roger Dodds assaulted colleagues at Sheffield City Council - | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
it will now have to pay out thousands of pounds. | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
I am delighted with the outcome in my favour which indicates what I | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
have said all along. Could Brexit turn Harrogate | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
from blue to yellow? We're serving up the latest | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
manifesto in Harrogate. Will the promise of another EU | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
referendum return the town TV history under the hammer | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
as Hilda Ogden's rollers, hairnet and pinny are sold | :00:33. | :00:46. | |
off at auction. It has been a rotten day across many | :00:47. | :00:55. | |
parts of Yorkshire, improvement on the way for Thursday but what about | :00:56. | :00:56. | |
the weekend? Join me for the latest. And we will be live at Hillsborough | :00:57. | :01:14. | |
for the game between Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield. | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
Tonight - Sheffield City Council must pay at least ?90,000 | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
in compensation - plus tens of thousands more | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
in loss of earnings - to a former employee | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
who was sexually abused by a council official. | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
Richard Rowe, who has waived his right to anonymity, sued | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
the council after being assaulted by Roger Dodds in the 1980s. | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
Dodds was jailed for 16 years in February after admitting abusing | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
You might find some of the details in Tom Ingall's report distressing. | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
A sexual predator - with the power of patronage over his victims. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
Forty years ago Roger Dodds worked in the heart of Sheffield | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
The young men he abused needed grants for education - or a job. | :01:48. | :02:01. | |
Very gradually his left hand started to find its way towards my pocket. | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
This man was assualted at his very first meeting with Dodds. | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
He was waived his right to anonymity and has now | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
He has been awarded ninety thousand pounds, plus an amount still to be | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
decided in respect of lost earnings. | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
Their attitude has been very tough, very hard, unforgiving and | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
unrelenting. We have asked questions, there has been no | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
response. We have asked specific questions and they have answered an | :02:36. | :02:36. | |
roundabout sort of way. Complaints about Dodds were first | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
raised with the council He was moved to a different | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
job which allowed him In 1993 there were more | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
allegations and he was allowed In 2008 the council | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
investigated again. Three years ago new | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
allegations came to light. In February Dodds was finally | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
sentenced to sixteen We would never defend the | :02:56. | :03:08. | |
indefensible and we have never failed to accept responsibility | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
despite the fact that this happened several decades ago. We fully accept | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
the settlement that the judge me today, we have made a raft of | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
changes in policies and procedures and shattered city council since | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
Roger Dodds left the authority. Todays judgment has helped | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
to ease Richard's mind. He believes their may be | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
others Dodds inflicted himself upon who have yet | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
to tell their story. With the frequency of what I | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
observed, and what others have since commented on and with the observed | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
of students going through Dodds offers, another ten or 100 wouldn't | :03:45. | :03:45. | |
surprise me at all. Tonight a final revelation - | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
he is still being paid Next tonight - the Liberal | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
Democrats will offer voters Launching the manifesto today | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
they promised a referendum on any They're putting areas which voted | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Remain at the top of their hit list. That includes Harrogate | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
and Knaresborough. It's seven years since the Lib Dems | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
lost the seat to the tories - could this manifesto return the town | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
to the Lib Dem fold? Three weeks to go, it is hard work | :04:16. | :04:30. | |
keeping up with the election but that is why Coffey was invented. | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
Today has been about the Lib Dems and one word dominates their | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
manifesto, Brexit. The other only party to promise a second | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
referendum. Do you want another referendum? I do. I think people | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
have made a mistake and voting as they have. Good idea or bad idea? | :04:52. | :05:03. | |
Another one? Terrible, idiotic. We had one and people have voted and we | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
want to go with their wishes. I think they ought to just go with | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
what the majority wanted, it was a slimmer majority. I voted remain, I | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
am happy to say that but I believe and respecting democracy so I am not | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
entirely sure on the strength of that from the manifesto that would | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
make me vote for them. The Lib Dems on the old two seats in Yorkshire, | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
which is why Harrogate is important. A second Brexit referendum would go | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
down well here because Harrogate narrowly voted to remain but didn't | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
have the stomach for more tax rises? The rainy day fund would be for | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
health care and to spend more money than what an extra penny of tax on | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
every pound we learn. And I think it is a good idea. I do much about it | :05:51. | :05:59. | |
but may have just... It wouldn't make me vote for them. My son went | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
to university lasting. I think I would vote for them. They would | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
lower the voting age to 16, they would ban all diesel vehicles and | :06:16. | :06:23. | |
legalise cannabis. I think our stick with the coffee. You Lib Dems think | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
they can when people run by promising big on a second Brexit | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
referendum but all voters choose them from the manifesto menu? | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
James is live for us in Harrogate now. | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
So far only the Lib Dems are offering a second referendum ? | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
They are the only ones offering a referendum but this difference to | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
the one we had last year which was on the principle of leaving the EU, | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
but the Lib Dems are seeing is they will negotiate Brexit, to get the | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
deal sorted and then will be a referendum on what the detail of | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
that deal is, to the people of Britain except the specific deal | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
will they elect to remain in the EU? If open to get people here in | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
Harrogate with that because it was one of the three places in Yorkshire | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
but choose to remain. If upping it works for them here. Sorry landslide | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
against the Lib Dems and the last election, what is the picture in | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
Yorkshire at the moment? They had a terrible general election two years | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
ago, the last 50 seats nationwide, the only have two seats in Yorkshire | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
at the moment but they will be hoping that Harrogate is one of the | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
places they can win back although it 16,000 majority for the | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
Conservatives. In terms of manifesto that is finally stuffed down on | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
paper, Labour and the Lib Dems today, the Tories this week. The | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
next to tell us why we should vote for them. | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
Well, one of the most interesting places to watch on General Election | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
It's also one of the most unusual constituencies, | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
taking in rural villages and the very diverse areas around | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
There's one thing you may well notice if you drive into Dewsbury. | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
This town is covered in election campaign posters because the parties | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
Labour won the seat in 2015, the Conservatives were second | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
not all that far behind and Ukip were third. | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
This time around, Ukip will not be standing in Dewsbury | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
so what will Ukip supporters decide to do with their vote | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
It will be very interesting to see what happens in what really is one | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
of the most unusual constituencies in the country. | :08:47. | :08:56. | |
There can be few constituencies more diverse than this one. | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
On the outskirts of Dewsbury town centre is the largely Muslim | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
Whoever is interested in the family, they can tell me who to vote for! | :09:02. | :09:24. | |
But even those who aren't passionate about politics certainly feel | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
Education is one thing I am concerned about, the eye-catching | :09:29. | :09:44. | |
teachers and you wonder what the student and staff ratio will be like | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
They're cutting staff members, teaching assistants in schools, | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
Inflation at the moment is at a ridiculous level. | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
Taxes are going up but the working wage is not far off | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
Immigration, everybody's moaning about it, but that's | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
not such a big issue, that can be dealt with. | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
A few miles away, the landscape of the Dewsbury constituency | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
At the local craft group, it's the Conservative leader | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
who seems to be getting the most support. | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
I think the fact Theresa May is female is an obvious statement. | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
She does seem to have a handle on what women want as well. | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
She's a politician but she's also a person. | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
but you're not a fan of Jeremy Corbyn? | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
I was really upset when he never sang the national | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
I think that was really disrespectful to the Queen. | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
The fact the health service has changed and the fact | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
we're losing a hospital, the fact we may lose our library, | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
the fact they want to build on what is supposed | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
But yet you want to stick with the Conservative Government. | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
I'm not quite sure what the difference would be | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
I feel strongly about the North-South divide, I think there | :11:12. | :11:23. | |
needs to be much more realisation that we exist appear. | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
Although many of these women may be voting Conservative, | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
the village they live in has plenty of Labour supporters. | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
It seems this constituency really could go either way. | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
Here's a list of all four candidates standing in Dewsbury | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
at the general election, there are more details | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
If that's got you thinking about the election -- | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
and there's a question you'd like to ask Look North -- | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
I'll be live on Facebook at ten past eight -- | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
with our politics expert getting you some answers. | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
Just search for BBC Look North Yorkshire. | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
Full military honours - More than a century after he died | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
in battle, the remains of a Yorkshire soldier have been | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
The ashes of Moors Murderer Ian Brady will NOT be scattered | :12:13. | :12:25. | |
on Saddleworth Moor, where he dumped most of his victims. | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
The assurance was made by Brady's solicitor during a Coroner's Court | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
The notorious paedophile and child killer died on Monday at a secure | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
There's been a slight drop in the number of people in Yorkshire | :12:37. | :12:46. | |
A total of a hundred and thirty four thousand people are now out | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
More than a century after he died in battle, the remains | :12:53. | :13:03. | |
of a Yorkshire soldier from the Green Howards have been | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
laid to rest in France - with full military honours.Private | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
Henry Parker was twenty-three when he was killed during the Battle | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
of the Somme in 1916, but his bones were only recovered | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
100 years since he was killed at the Battle of the Somme, | :13:14. | :13:24. | |
Henry Parker was back today with his Yorkshire | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
At the cemetery in France, he was buried with full military honours | :13:28. | :13:39. | |
close to where he fell at the age of 23. | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
The trenches were knee deep in mud, the combat stress he would have | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
And how these young men are carried out | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
the exploits that they did with the bravery and determination | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
Private Parker was a member of the Yorkshire Regiment a | :13:56. | :14:10. | |
soldier like many from the First World War who had been | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
In 2015 this Yorkshire regimental badge was found | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
in France with human remains, a rare find | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
Yorkshire was to end 100 years of waiting. | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
Through DNA testing organised by the MOD's | :14:26. | :14:34. | |
casualty centre, the human remains were matched to Henry's | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
Today Francis and other family members | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
made the journey from east and north Yorkshire to see their long-lost | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
I think he would have been really proud of it. | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
Farmer, most of them were farmers, so he is back where he belongs. | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
So 100 years on, a dignified end for this | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
Onto sport now and Huddersfield Town and Sheffield Wednesday will play | :15:03. | :15:24. | |
for a place in the most valuable game in football tonight. | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
The Yorkshire rivals drew | :15:28. | :15:28. | |
of their championship playoff semifinal. | :15:29. | :15:30. | |
Tonight's victor will be one win from the Premier League - | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
a step up estimated to be worth two hundred million pounds. | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
Tanya's at Hillsborough for us now... | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
It is a damp night at Sheffield Wednesday at that. In the | :15:39. | :15:53. | |
atmosphere, more than 30,000 fans expected and here and it is all | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
square, 0-0 and it really tight match on Sunday. So who has the | :15:58. | :16:06. | |
advantage? Huddersfield claim they are the underdogs, Sheffield | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
Wednesday confident and our home form. Much year from the managers. I | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
think the pressure is on Wednesday because they are in the play-offs | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
and there is a reason why. We know who is the favourite and two is the | :16:21. | :16:32. | |
underdog. If you sort how we won and lost, we won more games at home than | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
away. We have people in both Casio, the former Sheffield Wednesday | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
manager at the former Huddersfield goalkeeper, do you think it is right | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
that depression is Sheffield Wednesday? I think so. After what | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
happened last season to them it was to go one better so I think all the | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
pressure has been on Wednesday night from the first game of the season. I | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
also think they will come through. And their home form has been very | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
good, big wins here, that will help them. And the atmosphere tonight | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
will be electric. It can replicate what he did against Brighton and | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
then be running for one heck of a night. Can Huddersfield Plymouth a | :17:20. | :17:29. | |
bit of abandoned and go for this? And anyone expected to be here, they | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
have been exceptional this season and I don't think they can play like | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
they did against Brighton and Leeds, they'd really well but I hope they | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
take the chances to read, that is the big thing. We will be good on | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
the ball, the disruptive protest in the back of the net. They have too | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
scored a goal against them. That'll make it even more special. It will | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
be a fantastic atmosphere, 2000 Huddersfield fans which I'm sure we | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
will hear. It could go to penalties matters that something goalkeepers | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
look forward to? That is the time we shame. I've had great times with | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
penalty shoot outs in the past and ensure they people look forward to | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
being the hero. At this point in time, voters alike for the manager? | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
You don't want to know. We have done all the work and the topping, | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
because do anything more, the players are well prepared and both | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
camps and the manager will just be having his thinking time, just | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
trying to sort everything because it is great to be very fast and furious | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
tonight. What is great to happen? I think it'll be and Huddersfield will | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
have position but Sheffield Wednesday have such quality that | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
they will be goals. And don't for 1-0 Huddersfield. If you want a | :18:50. | :18:59. | |
Huddersfield town commentary, Brian is heading to Sheffield, we can see | :19:00. | :19:00. | |
is maybe best team win. There's another crucial playoff | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
match about to kick off - Yorkshire Carnegie | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
play the first leg of their Championship playoff final | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
against London Irish Head coach Bryan Redpath is leaving | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
the club this summer and says he's The winner will be promoted | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
to the Premiership. To achieve something with the script | :19:18. | :19:27. | |
would be the best thing, because it is the hardest. I'll miss it's no | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
end everyday but new chapters, new things open up predicting on-board | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
and there will be a tear and may eye no question of get to that stage. | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
Glossy sports books come out everyday about Man Utd, Andy Murray, | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
But let me recommend this one to you...a warts and all view | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
of a season in the life of Batley bulldogs rugby league club. | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
It's more than a rugby league tale though. | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
explaining how the club grinds on in the most challenging | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
And enjoys a special place in the game's tradition. | :20:03. | :20:17. | |
It has a reputation, being a bit of a dump and I think that is | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
completely unfair. You can see if you look around how green it is even | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
on a pleasant afternoon like this with the rain, it is still | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
beautiful, rich tradition and history. The club has huge tradition | :20:33. | :20:44. | |
as did supporters. People here still eat dripping, the boss drippings | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
from the bottom of a roasting tin, here in Batley it is a delicacy. I | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
think if anything sums up the community spirit it is what happened | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
to Jo Cox, it was tragic yet should take amenity spirit through the | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
whole town but especially here. It certainly did. The town was | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
devastated by it and Jo was a big friend of this club and jewel was | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
