Good evening from Wednesday's late Look North.

:00:09.:00:10.

Anti-fracking protestors have set up a camp in North Yorkshire

:00:11.:00:13.

near the site which is expected to be the first in the

:00:14.:00:16.

They say they'll use it as a base to stop lorries delivering

:00:17.:00:25.

the equipment needed to build the new well-head

:00:26.:00:27.

Our political editor Len Tingle reports.

:00:28.:00:30.

Today's roadside protests are, according to the anti-fractures,

:00:31.:00:32.

They have set up a camp a mile or so from the camp

:00:33.:00:36.

at Kirby Misperton north Yorkshire where

:00:37.:00:38.

planning permission has been granted to start the first commercial

:00:39.:00:40.

extraction of gas using the controversial technique of fracking.

:00:41.:00:46.

Failing everything we have tried in the last two years,

:00:47.:00:48.

It has come down to boots on the ground, direct action.

:00:49.:00:53.

We're hoping after Christmas many of our

:00:54.:00:55.

friends and community members will come to this big field

:00:56.:01:01.

where we're going to create a huge camp that is

:01:02.:01:04.

going to stop this industry before it gets started.

:01:05.:01:06.

Gas has been extracted using conventional drilling on the same

:01:07.:01:08.

North Yorkshire County Council granted planning permission the same

:01:09.:01:11.

production company earlier this year to sink

:01:12.:01:13.

a new well alongside for fracking, pumping highly pressurised water

:01:14.:01:16.

and sand to free gas trapped deep underground in beds of shale.

:01:17.:01:19.

A last-ditch legal attempt to stop it by campaign

:01:20.:01:22.

groups on safety and environmental grounds was thrown out by the High

:01:23.:01:25.

The HGV traffic has to come this way and we will do

:01:26.:01:34.

our utmost to peacefully and slow walk the traffic making its way

:01:35.:01:38.

to be site and to make it as difficult as possible

:01:39.:01:41.

The gas production company Third Energy has

:01:42.:01:46.

maintained through two years of planning and legal processes that

:01:47.:01:49.

It says fracking poses no potential dangers

:01:50.:01:59.

and intends to start preparing for production in the near future.

:02:00.:02:02.

People here say they should not be called protesters,

:02:03.:02:04.

they are protectors of the environment against a political

:02:05.:02:06.

and a legal system that they say has failed and they will be

:02:07.:02:09.

In a statement the gas production company told us:

:02:10.:02:36.

A 35-year-old man from Rotherham has been interviewed under caution

:02:37.:02:38.

following the death of a seven month old baby.

:02:39.:02:43.

The child died at a house in York, on the 3rd of November.

:02:44.:02:46.

Sheffield-based 'Playtime Beds' has issued a safety warning

:02:47.:02:48.

on its website stating that its made to measure beds could lead to risks

:02:49.:02:52.

of strangulation or crushing and shouldn't be used.

:02:53.:02:55.

Both Trading Standards and police are investigating.

:02:56.:02:57.

No cause of death for the baby has been confirmed.

:02:58.:03:04.

The body of 73-year-old man whose been missing for nearly

:03:05.:03:06.

a month has been found in a canal near Wakefield.

:03:07.:03:09.

William Metcalfe's body was discovered yesterday morning

:03:10.:03:11.

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has made almost eighty thousand

:03:12.:03:21.

pounds in car parking fines over the last year, according

:03:22.:03:24.

The Press Association, asked a hundred and twenty trusts

:03:25.:03:27.

across England to give figures on parking charges and fines.

:03:28.:03:34.

Of the 27 which responded, Leeds earned

:03:35.:03:37.

The Trust says they're one of the largest in the country,

:03:38.:03:43.

with more than 5,000 car parking spaces, and that the money

:03:44.:03:46.

is spent keeping the car parks safe and to stop people misusing spaces.

:03:47.:03:49.

This was the response from people parking in Leeds today.

:03:50.:03:51.

Which is why we are parked quite a way away and had

:03:52.:04:00.

We've been to and from the hospital over the last

:04:01.:04:06.

three, four weeks and it is just hard work.

:04:07.:04:07.

That is ?5.70 and I am probably only here ten minutes.

:04:08.:04:22.

I got a parking ticket for parking around the corner in a bay

:04:23.:04:26.

what they said was not a bay but it is clearly

:04:27.:04:29.

It is not when you need, I suppose, when you are coming to hospital.

:04:30.:04:41.

We can be here four times a week and if you pay to park all day,

:04:42.:04:49.

If you want to park here you have to pay it.

:04:50.:04:55.

Thanks to Steve Wharfe who sent in this weather picture of a frosty

:04:56.:04:59.

But it was the village of Topcliffe in North Yorkshire that was actually

:05:00.:05:02.

the coldest place in England last night at minus seven

:05:03.:05:05.

Let's get the forecast for the rest of the week from Jennifer Bartrum.

:05:06.:05:09.

Another cold and frosty night to come tonight.

:05:10.:05:15.

We are going to see some patches of mist and fog

:05:16.:05:17.

and the Met Office has a yellow weather warning in force for that

:05:18.:05:20.

fog, which could be widespread and fairly dense in some patches.

:05:21.:05:24.

Expect some tricky driving conditions

:05:25.:05:25.

through the night tonight and tomorrow morning.

:05:26.:05:28.

This is how it looks through the night tonight,

:05:29.:05:31.

clear skies giving rise to this widespread frost,

:05:32.:05:34.

as indicated by the blue tinges on the map.

:05:35.:05:36.

It will be staying dry through the night.

:05:37.:05:38.

Temperatures dropping down to -1 or -2 Celsius.

:05:39.:05:40.

It is going to be a cold start to Thursday morning.

:05:41.:05:42.

We have those patches of mist and fog first thing.

:05:43.:05:45.

Some of those could be fairly slow to clear.

:05:46.:05:51.

In fact some parts will hang on to the fog for much of the day.

:05:52.:05:55.

Temperature's won't rise much above freezing.

:05:56.:05:57.

Elsewhere, we will see some low cloud and possibly

:05:58.:06:00.

Temperatures up to three or four Celsius.

:06:01.:06:02.

Friday looks like another dry and settled day but it will be

:06:03.:06:05.

Do you take care in the fog. We will have breakfast News from 6:25am. We

:06:06.:06:23.

will have the latest travel for you. That is all we have time for from

:06:24.:06:30.

tonight. Sleep well, indeed. Goodbye.

:06:31.:06:39.

As we have seen today, the weather can be a thing of real beauty, but

:06:40.:06:45.

also a real menace. Lovely shot taken this afternoon in Berkshire,

:06:46.:06:48.
