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.

:19:09.:19:11.

against London Irish Head coach Bryan Redpath is leaving

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

:19:35.: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.

part of that family. For that first home game against Dewsbury last year

:21:22.:21:26.

it was an astonishing occasion and a real honour to be at that and see

:21:27.:21:34.

the look amenity coming together and using the Batley bulldogs and Mount

nothing else, help you get more people through the turnstiles at
