Tonight, emotional scenes in Huddersfield as family

and friends mourn Yassar Yaqub, who was shot dead by

His father says he wants answers about what happened.

Well, Ian White's at Ainley Top now, where the vigil was held.

Good evening. This is Ainley Top behind me, with the M62 in the

background and the slip road and the scene where the shooting took place

on Monday evening. 48 hours on, lots of unanswered questions. Tonight

family and friends came to Ainley Top to create what I can only

describe as a shrine to the dead man.

These were the incredible scenes at Ainley Top this evening.

The busy M62 slip road was turned a car park as 200 people

held a vigil for Yassar Yaqub, the 28-year-old man shot dead

His mother and father were sobbing as they laid flowers and lit candles

Many of the dead man's friends held a banner saying,

"Rest in peace - justice for Yassar".

After prayers, Yassar Yaqub's father Mohammed spoke to Look North.

There has been a lot of support for the young man.

He was a lovely young lad and it shows how much he was loved

and liked in the community, amongst all the friends in the community.

And I hope he gets a good place in heaven, and he was a true,

kind person who did not deserve to be killed the way he was killed.

I would like some answers, real answers, true answers -

Real answers why he was killed the way he was killed.

What prompted the police to kill him?

Cos he was a passenger in the car, sat.

They pulled up and just shot three shots through the windscreen,

And presumably it happened so quickly...

So quick, and I believe the police were not even wearing body cameras.

How are you coping with what's happened?

They've ruined the whole family, and in fact the community as well.

And I just want everyone to know that my dad had a gold heart

That was jasmine, the dead man's daughter, and West Yorkshire Police

have not made any further comment about the circumstances surrounding

the death and the incident and what led up to it. It was described as a

preplanned operation but they have said no more, while the Independent

Police Complaints Commission investigates the whole affair. There

are still some vehicles pulling up at the shrine this evening to pay

their respects to the dead man, but their respects to the dead man, but

that is all from Ainley Top for now. Tonight's vigil follows a protest

in Bradford last night, when a group of men attacked

a police car and blocked a road, Bradford city centre last night -

a police car is surrounded. Banners are draped over

the windscreen as protesters film Kicks are aimed at

the side of the car. For several hours,

people blocked routes and waved signs carrying phrases including

"police, don't murder". No-one was injured or arrested

during the protest. It was a reaction to the death

of Yassar Yaqub on Monday. The Independent Police Complaints

Commission says a gun A postmortem examination

on Mr Yaqub's body was due Yesterday, police were at the family

home in Huddersfield, where up to ten CCTV cameras dot

the walls - perhaps a response to an incident in 2015

when a shotgun was fired Yassar Yaqub was a fan of fast cars

like this yellow Lamborghini. His dad bought them for his only

son, who he admits he spoiled. In 2010, Yassar Yaqub

was cleared of attempted murder and a firearms offence

because of insufficient evidence. What happened in the moments before

he was shot dead on Monday night at Ainley Top,

we don't yet know. The human rights charity

Just Yorkshire says There is a person here who has

actually lost their life. That has had an effect on family

and community, irrespective And the point is there has got to be

a line of accountability, and what the people want now

is the police force to actually be up front in terms

of what's happened. In an attempt to improve

transparency, West Yorkshire Police has been introducing body-worn

cameras, but none of the firearms officers involved in

the shooting was wearing them. Firearms officers need a bespoke

solution for body-worn video. The current cameras that

are available to the general police officer are not suitable

for firearms usage, and that is purely down

to where they are worn on the body and the blocked views

that they get because of the nature of the equipment,

the firearms carried. Three men remain in police custody

tonight, while another All five were arrested on suspicion

of having a firearm. The IPCC's own probe

a very small number of individuals, who decided to take it

upon themselves to attack police cars, and brought

traffic to a standstill, and that has been condemned

by the community. I certainly condemn that type

of behaviour and I would really like to see the police make some

arrests and show that there is no Leeds United have confirmed today

from Leeds has had her funding suspended while she takes part

in the winter sports show The Jump. British Athletics says it'll stop

supporting her until she returns to training and proves her fitness,

as Dave Edwards reports. She was one of Britain's biggest

sporting stars of 2016 - Kadeena Cox won two golds,

a silver and a bronze at the Rio Paralympics,

competing in athletics and cycling. She's quickly earned celebrity

status, taking part in the BBC's Robot Wars over the weekend,

and now she's in Austria, getting ready for

Channel 4's The Jump. The controversial programme

sees celebrities take part in a range of winter sports,

but several competitors have Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington

fractured vertebrae fused together. Channel 4 says there's been

a thorough review of safety procedures before this year's

series, but medical teams from British Athletics

Kadeena not to take part. In a statement,

British Athletics says: She'll hope to do that in time

for the World ParaAthletics Now let's take a look

at the weather. It is cold but changes are on the

way. Big changes in the next day or so.

It is called out there but milder are well head back from the West in

the next 24 to 36 hours. If you like the cold, tomorrow is the day.

Beautifully cold and sunny with all parts break apart from the odd

shower creeping down that north Yorkshire coastline. Let's look at

the Atlantic weather chart, the ridge of high pressure for Thursday,

giving way pressure falls when we see at the Atlantic weather systems

moving in on Friday. Over the weekend, milder air than that wet

from the Atlantic air. A lot of cloud cloud on Saturday and Sunday,

but also mild temperatures with sunshine. We have one or two showers

creeping down the east coast. Further west, we have already got

frost. The wind will use it and in western areas we will see the lowest

temperatures, with blows down to minus four Celsius. That is 25

Fahrenheit. Showers towards the coast could be wintry if they are on

the North York Moors and Yorkshire, watch out for icy patches on

untreated services. Any showers along the coast will ease and then

beautiful day with cold and frosty in some spots but lots of sunshine

around. A light and variable breeze with top temperatures four Celsius.

That is 39 Celsius. Frost returning Thursday evening. There is that

they'll cloud on the next Atlantic weather system comes in and it means

a wet day on Friday. That's it from me. Now the national weather.

rain by Friday afternoon. Temperatures creeping up a notch or

two and turning milder into the weekend.

A guarantee on your journey to work tomorrow, if you are nipping out to

the shop for a paper, somebody will talk about how cold it is. Looking

at today, the weather front pushing Southwest, mild air stay in

south-west, but behind it is colder air from the Arctic. Behind it,

windy conditions. Bleak across northern Scotland, a cold day with

temperatures struggling to get above two. If you think that's cold, look

at what's happening outside as we speak. Temperatures falling below

freezing quite widely across the country and towards dawn they could

be as low as -8 in rural parts of Oxfordshire. I guarantee you will be

scraping the ice of the car windscreens first thing in the

morning. Some cloud running down the North Sea coast and some cloud
