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
