Good evening and welcome to the late Look North. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight: The host towns for next year's Tour de Yorkshire | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
are revealed with Bradford playing a starring role. | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
And Yorkshire MEP Jane Collhns faces paying a huge bill after behng told | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
she can't be granted immunity against libel claims. | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
The settled weather looks sdt to continue for the rest of thd week. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
I'll be back with the live forecasts. | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
Bradford City Centre is to host its first major | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
sporting event in a decade after being selected as a host town | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
The six start and finish locations were confirmed today. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
Tadcaster and Harrogate will also host the race | :00:51. | :00:51. | |
for the first time, along with Stocksbridge near Sheffield. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
The event, over the last weekend of April, returns | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
It's not a bad place for a bike ride. | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
And as for this lot, well, cyclists do come | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
These people, from a range of cycling clubs across the city, | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
have just found out that thd Tour de Yorkshire is coming to their home. | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
We have seen cycling starting to grow and grow and grow | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
in the city from being in a really low place. | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
So it is an amazing thing to happen for the city. | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
That's where my cycling club is from. | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
It's challenging for even the most experienced riders. | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
Hopefully it will bring more people out cycling, | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
get families, women, everyone involved in | :01:39. | :01:39. | |
So the cyclists think it is a great idea, but then | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
you would have guessed that, wouldn't you? | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
Bradford will have to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds bringing | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
You've got to put money in get money out. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
And investing in the Tour de Yorkshire is bound | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
So you will be bound to get more money spent in Bradford. | :02:03. | :02:12. | |
It is good to see something positive about Bradford in the news. | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
The thing is, everybody is talking about it. | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
The thing is, it is proud for the Bradford people. | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
It's a busy time for cycling in Yorkshire. | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
Earlier this month, it was announced we'll host the 2019 | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
Organisers say the Tour de Yorkshire will be a kind | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
of dress rehearsal for that, as well as a chance for somd | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
You'll get great images of smiling people, cheering people | :02:44. | :02:53. | |
throughout Bradford, going all round the world. | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
Live TV coverage in 165 countries around the planet. | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
That's got to be good news for Bradford. | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
Fox Valley in Sheffield will be another of next year's start | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
and finish locations, along with Scarborough, Bridlington, | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
A welcome boost for a town that s had a tough year after | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
When the bridge collapsed, it basically flattened the town | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
A lot of businesses are really, really struggling at the molent | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
There's just very little passing trade. | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
So, when the Tour de Yorkshire comes through, | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
the bridge will be fixed and it ll just lift the town and put ht back | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
to where it needs to be, cos it's a lovely town. | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Bradford last hosted a major cycling event in 2007. | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
That was the finish of the Tour of Britain. | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
A decade on, some of the world's top cyclists will be back | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
And wouldn't it be nice if ht encouraged more people like this | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
Ali Fortescue is in Bradford for us now. | :03:47. | :03:55. | |
It should be a great event, Ali, but with council | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
budgets squeezed, is it really worth the money? | :03:59. | :04:07. | |
Every single person we've spoken to in Bradford this evening saxs they | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
are in favour of spending what is a huge amount of public money, more | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
than ?100,000, on the Tour de Yorkshire and recent research by | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Leeds Beckett University has found that last year's tour boostdd the | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
economy by ?60 million so wd asked Bradford's council leader how she | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
would respond to calls that there are more important things to spend | :04:32. | :04:32. | |
public money on. I can quite understand | :04:33. | :04:33. | |
that criticism. However, what I have always been | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
clear about is that however great the challenges are on counchls | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
at the moment, Bradford wants to show that it has ambition | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
and we should not let those This is an opportunity | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
to showcase Bradford, and I won't prevent | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
it from doing that. You'll remember 15 places ptt bids | :04:47. | :04:56. | |
into host six of those were chosen, but it leaves nine that werd missed | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
out on the more surprising was Halifax. Many people expectdd | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Halifax to be picked but we found out they went because of thd delays | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
to refurbishing the venue. We got a statement from Calderdale Council | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
who say, we are aware that hosting the start or finish of next year's | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
Tour de Yorkshire has attracted towns from across the region and we | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
do express an interest in hosting in 2018. | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
A man's been charged with the murders of a father | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
and daughter who were killed in a house fire in Wakefield. | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
Andrew and Kiera Broadhead died following the blaze | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
Daniel Jones, who's 28 and from Spawd Bone Lane, | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
in Knottingley, will appear at Leeds Magistrates' | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
He's also charged with arson and burglary. | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
A Yorkshire MEP faces a bill of hundreds of thousands of pounds | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
over remarks she made about the Rotherham abuse scandal. | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
Jane Collins claimed three MPs knew about child | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
exploitation in the town, but did nothing to intervend. | :05:52. | :06:00. | |
Ukip's Mrs Collins said her position should have given her | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
But today, the European Parliament rejected that argument, | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
as our political editor Len Tingle explains. | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
It is two years since Jane Collins made a speech at her party's annual | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
conference in Doncaster that the three Rotherham MPs, | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
John Healey, Sir Kevin Barron and Sarah Champion had known | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
for a long, long time about the mass grooming and rape of hundreds | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
They immediately said that was a lie. | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
A year later, in the High Court in London, a judge agreed whth them. | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
But it took another year before a hearing was held to deterline | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
damages, and that was the thme, back in May of this year, | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
when Jane Collins pulled what she thought was her trtmp card | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
of immunity from any form of prosecution. | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
When the vote went ahead, Jane Collins herself | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
It took MEPs very little tile to make their minds up. | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
We are pleased by the parliament's decision. | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
It means that she can't hidd behind her European state | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
We look forward to her back in the High Court to answer | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
the things that she has said two years ago now, and the chance | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
It had not escaped MPs' nothce that he was an MEP from our party | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
that was to get rid of all Duropean institutions wanting to use one | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
of those same institutions to try and avoid paying damages. | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
Apart from the Ukip dimension and the hypocrisy, in any w`y to try | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
and hide behind parliamentary immunity and say that I don't need | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
to face prosecution in the courts because I am a Member of Parliament, | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
Jane Collins has given no interviews since today's vote, | :07:44. | :07:54. | |
but she has issued what is seen by many as defiant press release. | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
It said that this was "One lost battle in a war of words I'l | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
What happens now is that shd will have to go back to court and those | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
three MPs say that the damage that was done by her libellous | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
statements was so great that they are demanding ?150,00 | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
It will be up to the judge to decide how much she actually has to pay, | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
and that could take some wedks, if not months, to decide. | :08:20. | :08:31. | |
The world's oldest football club, Sheffield FC, has announced it's | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
applying to the government for Unesco World Cultural | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
The club is celebrating its 159th birthday and is trying to r`ise | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
?2 million to return to its original stadium at Olive Grove. | :08:42. | :08:55. | |
Football results and it was a nail-biting game at Elland Road | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
Leeds were playing Norwich. It went to penalties after extra tile but | :09:03. | :09:03. | |
Leeds finally one 3-2-mac. It's going to be quite nice over the | :09:04. | :09:23. | |
next few days. Lots of dry, bright weather. I think we will lose the | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
foggy, frosty mornings, just a bit of morning mist, but we are | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
importing slightly milder ahr from the Atlantic so it will be puite as | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
chilly by morning or by day in the sunshine. Tomorrow, it will be | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
mostly dry and quite a lot of cloud, but having said that, there will be | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
some breaks in it, particul`rly for the least we could see sunshine | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
there could be dampness over the Pennines. High pressures buhlding | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
from the south, meaning a lot of settled weather but our air is | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
actually coming from the Atlantic, meaning it will be milder than as of | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
late, no frost by night, temperatures by day just above | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
average. We have had mist in is this evening through the Vale of York but | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
overnight, we will just see an increase in cloud and that will lure | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
onto the hills so there might be some problems with visibility here, | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
some hill fog the odd spot of drizzle. A dry nights to cole, not | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
as cool as last night with temperatures falling to single | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
figures, around eight or nine Celsius. Tomorrow, there will be | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
some hill fog for trans-Pennine routes, otherwise relativelx cloudy | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
through the morning hours, thicken can offer places for the odd spot or | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
two of light rain and wind, particularly along that Pennine | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
chain and in the west but gdnerally it is a dry story and it will | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
brighten up away from the hhlls with some sunshine but you will notice | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
the risk of some late and p`tchy rain across the Pennines and the | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
gales, temperatures around 04 Celsius. Variable cloud, thhckest on | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
the west over the next few days but the best of the brightness hs | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
further east. I'll leave yot with the | :11:02. | :11:02. | |
Hello. Autumn is the season of change, most noticeably with those | :11:03. | :11:13. | |
autumn colours on display today in Buckinghamshire, as photographed by | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
one of our weather watchers. Always helps when there is blue sky above. | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
Our weather is always changing regardless of the season. One of | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
those changes is taking place, we are losing last week's Easterly | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
winds and now a westerly wind. That means it's turning milder by day and | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
night but it does mean the return of Atlantic weather fronts, especially | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
to north-western parts of the UK. The reason, high pressure in Germany | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
and low pressure Iceland. Here is the first of those weather fronts | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
for Scotland and Northern Ireland through the night, the first part of | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
tomorrow. There isn't a huge amount of rain associated with this. Could | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
see rain over the hills of northern England and Wales as the night goes | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
on. The odd shower clipping Sussex and Kent. A lot of dry weather for | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
England and Wales. It's mild here, it's milder across the northern half | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
of Britain compared with last night. But the further south you are the | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
closer to that area of high pressure, and we are concerned about | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
fog developing, especially in southern England into | :12:10. | :12:10. |
