:00:19. > :00:21.charged with her murder and with the possession
:00:22. > :00:31.The family of Katie Rough at court this morning.

:00:36. > :00:39.The court heard today that she had suffered significant lacerations
:00:40. > :00:45.Police investigations continued at the scene,
:00:46. > :00:47.with a metal detector used to search nearby undergrowth.
:00:48. > :00:51.Meanwhile the pile of floral tributes grows.
:00:52. > :00:56.Four miles from the scene the teenage girl accused of killing
:00:57. > :00:58.Katie appeared in court for the first time.
:00:59. > :01:01.The accused, who was 15 years old, nodded to show that she understood
:01:02. > :01:06.Members of Katie's family were also in court and some were visibly upset
:01:07. > :01:11.The teenager is charged with murdering Katie Rough
:01:12. > :01:14.on Alness Drive in York on Monday and also with possession
:01:15. > :01:22.Outside Katie's school the feeling remains one of shock.
:01:23. > :01:25.Just a little girl, it's really scary, I would say, you know.
:01:26. > :01:29.And then you don't want her lose sight of any of your loved ones now.
:01:30. > :01:32.One of my good friends is really good friends with the mum
:01:33. > :01:35.and she has taken it really hard and so have her daughters
:01:36. > :01:42.A fundraising page to support Katie's family has been set up York
:01:43. > :01:47.She didn't know the family but says she wanted to help.
:01:48. > :01:50.It isn't just me, there's people all over the UK donating.
:01:51. > :01:53.It isn't just something I'm doing, she's in the hearts and heads
:01:54. > :01:57.are so many people, and the family, there's so much love for them right
:01:58. > :02:15.They already know the pain of what they have lost, but not why.
:02:16. > :02:17.A change to legislation in memory of the missing York
:02:18. > :02:20.chef Claudia Lawrence, which is designed to give families
:02:21. > :02:22.greater control over the affairs of missing people,
:02:23. > :02:24.has cleared its first hurdle in the Commons.
:02:25. > :02:28.The bill was championed by Claudia's father, Peter.
:02:29. > :02:32.Dubbed Claudia's Law, it was given the go-ahead in parliament
:02:33. > :02:39.You've got to remember that it's 22 months ago that the government
:02:40. > :02:41.committed to this bill and it's taken a private member,
:02:42. > :02:44.Kevin Hollinrake, one of our local MPs, for Thirsk and Malton to bring
:02:45. > :02:47.it forward himself, and at least we know it has got
:02:48. > :02:53.But it wasn't the government that brought it forward, it was Kevin.
:02:54. > :02:55.The MP for Batley and Spen, Tracy Brabin, has called
:02:56. > :02:58.on Teresa May to step- in to keep open the A department
:02:59. > :03:03.She told the Prime Minister that the on-going winter beds crisis
:03:04. > :03:08.proved the department is vital to the local community.
:03:09. > :03:11.Over Christmas I had constituents who were waiting 20 hours for a bed
:03:12. > :03:13.in a facility that might not even exist next year.
:03:14. > :03:18.Would the Prime Minister now, please, face reality and act now
:03:19. > :03:26.to stop this vital A service from disappearing.
:03:27. > :03:28.Decisions about services in the local area are rightly taken
:03:29. > :03:31.by the local national health service because we believe that it's local
:03:32. > :03:34.clinicians and also local patients and leaders who know what's best
:03:35. > :03:37.for their area, so it's about trying to tailor the services to provide
:03:38. > :03:45.the best possible needs for local people.
:03:46. > :03:48.There's a bit of a row going on in the Peak District.
:03:49. > :03:51.People in the village of Foolow aren't pleased with plans to put
:03:52. > :03:59.The Peak Park bought the land to stop it being a permanent caravan
:04:00. > :04:02.park, but now the Park wants a mobile park there.
:04:03. > :04:05.This bit of prime Peak District land was going to be a caravan site
:04:06. > :04:11.until the park authority realised it had granted planning permission
:04:12. > :04:17.It bought the land for ?650,000 so it could protect it from being
:04:18. > :04:22.Now, four years later, the Peak Park wants to turn it in to...
:04:23. > :04:29.It's the Peak District's job to protect this fantastic and very
:04:30. > :04:33.That's what the planning regulations are all about,
:04:34. > :04:37.but here the authority is judging its own application,
:04:38. > :04:40.something the villagers down the valley are not happy about.
:04:41. > :04:44.It is very concerning, it's a bit like the MPs voting
:04:45. > :04:53.Legally they are allowed to do it, it is part of their remit
:04:54. > :04:56.to be able to do it, but when something is
:04:57. > :04:58.as controversial as this, it really does beg into question
:04:59. > :04:59.the independence of their planning authority.
:05:00. > :05:02.Peter Webster has been a farmer here all his life.
:05:03. > :05:05.He wanted to build a barn that he was told it wasn't
:05:06. > :05:10.He says it's not fair he can't have his barn,
:05:11. > :05:15.but the Peak District can have their caravan site.
:05:16. > :05:22.I'm afraid you won't put it on telly what I think about it.
:05:23. > :05:33.My barn is roughly 300-400 metres away from their caravan site
:05:34. > :05:37.Well, I think they should throw the caravan site out.
:05:38. > :05:41.The wording of the original planning application was wrong.
:05:42. > :05:43.It meant that private developers could put permanent static caravans
:05:44. > :05:46.on the site and that's why the Peak Park spent ?650,000
:05:47. > :05:55.This new development would only be for mobile caravans.
:05:56. > :06:01.The Peak Park Authority says it has a duty to recover as much of that
:06:02. > :06:03.purchase price as possible and reverting it back to a green
:06:04. > :06:14.To reclaim the money spent on stopping caravans,
:06:15. > :06:23.Winds of more than 90 miles per hour caused problems
:06:24. > :06:28.Trees were brought down, blocking roads and rail lines,
:06:29. > :06:32.and flights were cancelled in and out of Leeds
:06:33. > :06:36.For one couple in Bradford, last night's storms will take a very
:06:37. > :06:38.long time to recover from, as Shirley Henry reports.
:06:39. > :06:45.It is not the wake-up call it you expect first
:06:46. > :06:50.This 80 foot beech tree smashed its way through this
:06:51. > :06:52.bungalow in Birkenshaw after its roots were wrenched
:06:53. > :07:03.I heard a loud bang, like a bomb had gone off.
:07:04. > :07:06.When I looked there was rubble all down the landing and I knew
:07:07. > :07:08.it was bad but I didn't know what it was.
:07:09. > :07:12.We came outside and I saw it was a tree and we were very lucky
:07:13. > :07:14.to get away with it, I think.
:07:15. > :07:18.The bathroom has been destroyed, a lot of the internal walls
:07:19. > :07:21.and all of the roof in the centre has been destroyed so it's had it.
:07:22. > :07:24.In Bradford this school was shut to students after gusts
:07:25. > :07:29.caused slates to fly from the Victorian roof.
:07:30. > :07:31.Meanwhile in South Yorkshire high winds peeled away corrugated
:07:32. > :07:36.sheeting in Sheffield city centre and gusts of 93 mph
:07:37. > :07:47.Not only buildings have succumbed to the force of nature,
:07:48. > :07:49.across West Yorkshire trees were battered.
:07:50. > :07:52.This evening Bridgewater Place is slowly getting back to normal.
:07:53. > :07:54.Earlier the roads were closed because of high winds,
:07:55. > :07:58.causing traffic gridlock across parts of Leeds.
:07:59. > :08:02.But the roads aren't the only place where there were problems.
:08:03. > :08:07.Landing at Leeds Bradford Airport was going to be a challenge.
:08:08. > :08:17.It took all the pilot's skills to bring this plane down safely.
:08:18. > :08:18.Many passengers faced delays and cancellations.
:08:19. > :08:22.The strongest wind that we recorded here to here was in excess of 50
:08:23. > :08:24.knots which obviously is unsafe for operations so that was
:08:25. > :08:27.the reason why we had a number of delayed departures
:08:28. > :08:34.Nearly 40,000 homes across the North lost their power supply today.
:08:35. > :08:40.As for the bungalow in Birkenshaw, it's unlikely the owner will be
:08:41. > :08:46.Winds have finally started to die down, but can you believe it?
:08:47. > :08:53.The forecast for the next few days is sleet and snow.
:08:54. > :08:55.Well, have things calmed down tonight?
:08:56. > :09:07.You're always full of a bit of wind, aren't you?
:09:08. > :09:12.Iamb, but it is still blowing a gale out at high Bradfield. Letters have
:09:13. > :09:18.a recap the highest wind speeds we have observed. Hardly surprising
:09:19. > :09:22.that plane had time -- trouble landing. I Bradfield was the
:09:23. > :09:27.windiest place in the country. This is tomorrow's jar this feature looks
:09:28. > :09:31.as though it will slip to the south of us but we are looking closely at
:09:32. > :09:34.a system that will come down coastal areas first light Friday morning.
:09:35. > :09:38.Storm force winds and the Environment Agency are watching
:09:39. > :09:43.that. They could be coastal flooding and rain and snow thrown in for good
:09:44. > :09:46.measure. Showers on the radar picture, mainly of rain and
:09:47. > :09:53.increasingly they turn wintry over the hills, certainly with icy
:09:54. > :09:57.patches. Temperatures down to one. A cold day tomorrow, windy at first
:09:58. > :10:00.but the wind will ease significantly. Dry apply to the east
:10:01. > :10:06.and the showers turned increasingly to and snow. A few wintry showers
:10:07. > :10:10.getting further east and they will tend to die away through the
:10:11. > :10:16.afternoon. A cold one. Temperatures around 4 degrees, that is 39. It
:10:17. > :10:21.turns cold and frosty through Thursday evening and into Thursday
:10:22. > :10:26.night. All eyes to the door. A storm force wind includes Stork -- coastal
:10:27. > :10:32.areas is really impressive. An area of snow was swinging through us. The
:10:33. > :10:39.weekend looks cold and wintry showers on Saturday. This is a
:10:40. > :10:40.start to the weekend. Time for the national weather prospects if you
:10:41. > :10:49.are on the move. Good evening, a lot going on with
:10:50. > :10:52.the weather in the next few days, numerous weather warnings in for so
:10:53. > :10:56.buried in mind if you have travel plans. Lots of isobars on the chart
:10:57. > :10:59.overnight which means it will be windy for all. The strongest winds
:11:00. > :11:02.in Scotland, lots of wintry showers with snow getting down to
:11:03. > :11:06.increasingly low levels and some wintry showers in Northern Ireland
:11:07. > :11:09.and northern England. A cold night for Northern England, particularly
:11:10. > :11:14.in more rural spots, frosty and I see for some and some of the snow
:11:15. > :11:17.really blowing around over higher ground in Scotland. Strong wind and
:11:18. > :11:20.further snow to take us into tomorrow. It may well make for some
:11:21. > :11:23.tricky travelling conditions. The forecast for tomorrow in the
:11:24. > :11:27.southern half of the UK's quite tricky. We have got mild air bumping
:11:28. > :11:32.into colder air. The boundary between the two, it will be an ugly
:11:33. > :11:35.mix of rain, sleet and snow developing. Mild air comes in behind
:11:36. > :11:39.the weather front but the rain ahead of that will be mixing with the cold
:11:40. > :11:40.air. Details are a bit elusive even at
