A man's in custody after the teenage brother of a young Leeds United

:00:00.:00:12.

Raheem Wilks was found fatally wounded outside

:00:13.:00:16.

Police say a murder inquiry is underway and are holding

:00:17.:00:20.

a 49-year-old man in connection with incident.

:00:21.:00:23.

Phil Bodmer has tonight's main story.

:00:24.:00:26.

Crime scene investigators at Gathorne Terrace

:00:27.:00:28.

A white police tent at the entrance to a barbershop where

:00:29.:00:34.

a 19-year-old man was fatally shot yesterday lunchtime.

:00:35.:00:38.

The victim was named locally as Raheem Wilks,

:00:39.:00:41.

older brother of Leeds United under-23 player Malik Wilks.

:00:42.:00:45.

Today, Mr Wilks' grandparents paid tribute to the teenager.

:00:46.:00:49.

Everybody, yeah, everybody loves him.

:00:50.:00:55.

I was the last person to see him go out, and it really hurt me

:00:56.:00:59.

There are many questions to be answered now, though.

:01:00.:01:03.

That's it, yeah - I want to know who and why and what.

:01:04.:01:06.

Throughout the day, friends and relatives laid flowers

:01:07.:01:08.

One message read simply, to daddy, you were taken too soon.

:01:09.:01:13.

Well, police say that although their inquiries

:01:14.:01:15.

are at an early stage, they believe the victim

:01:16.:01:18.

As a result, they're increasing patrols in the area

:01:19.:01:22.

Police say a 49-year-old man is being held on suspicion of murder.

:01:23.:01:28.

At his weekly press call, Leeds United manager Garry Monk said

:01:29.:01:32.

that the club were offering support to Raheem's brother Malik,

:01:33.:01:36.

who is in the squad for this weekend's FA Cup game

:01:37.:01:39.

Our job is to focus on supporting him and how he feels and how he is,

:01:40.:01:44.

and we are giving him the best support possible,

:01:45.:01:46.

That's what we are as a club, as a staff, and as everyone

:01:47.:01:50.

Specially-trained liaison officers are now supporting the victim's

:01:51.:01:54.

Police say they understand what happened here will cause

:01:55.:01:59.

As more flowers were laid at the scene tonight,

:02:00.:02:04.

additional neighbourhood policing teams will be on the street to

:02:05.:02:09.

People living in a block of flats say they feel "held to ransom"

:02:10.:02:17.

after their flood insurance shot up to more than ?26,000 a year.

:02:18.:02:21.

The insurance is split between 12 flats in Topcliffe near Thirsk

:02:22.:02:25.

that were badly flooded in September 2012.

:02:26.:02:28.

Topcliffe Mill back in 2012, a year that many people

:02:29.:02:34.

More than four years on, and the flood water may have

:02:35.:02:38.

disappeared but the people living here are still paying the price -

:02:39.:02:42.

Back then, the insurance was ?1,500 per year,

:02:43.:02:47.

So it was all throughout all of the flat...

:02:48.:02:53.

For residents like Ruth, the service charge on their homes

:02:54.:02:57.

It's like another mortgage every month, basically.

:02:58.:03:02.

People are struggling and we're all struggling.

:03:03.:03:05.

We're just 12 normal homeowners who have unfortunately been in this

:03:06.:03:10.

position where we've been flooded, but we're still paying the price.

:03:11.:03:15.

Back in September 2012, this entire area was completely underwater,

:03:16.:03:18.

but a lot of people that are affected by flooding are

:03:19.:03:22.

protected under a Government scheme which keeps their insurance low.

:03:23.:03:25.

But because the people living here are leaseholders

:03:26.:03:28.

rather than freeholders, they're not protected

:03:29.:03:30.

Martin lives a few doors down and what bothers him most

:03:31.:03:36.

is the ?75,000 insurance excess he'll have to pay if

:03:37.:03:41.

Not only is the premium extremely high, but with the level

:03:42.:03:49.

of flood excess, it makes the policy valueless, really.

:03:50.:03:54.

It's incredibly frustrating, it's demoralising, and we all dread

:03:55.:03:58.

this time of year when we're looking at renewing our buildings

:03:59.:04:01.

But the local MP says this is one of his top priorities.

:04:02.:04:08.

We were promised a scheme - that scheme hasn't worked.

:04:09.:04:10.

We need to go through that process again.

:04:11.:04:12.

We need to meet with the Secretary of State again -

:04:13.:04:15.

I've requested an interview with Andrea Leadsom,

:04:16.:04:16.

We need to meet with the insurance companies again and the broker

:04:17.:04:21.

networks again to make sure we find a solution.

:04:22.:04:24.

The British Insurance Brokers' Association says they're

:04:25.:04:26.

launching a scheme to help leaseholders get cover.

:04:27.:04:29.

But, in the meantime, people like Ruth and Martin

:04:30.:04:32.

are wondering how they will manage to pay this year's insurance,

:04:33.:04:35.

more than four years since their homes were flooded.

:04:36.:04:39.

Ali Fortescue, BBC Look North, Topcliffe.

:04:40.:04:42.

A West Yorkshire MP is urging the government to commit

:04:43.:04:45.

to a national campaign to tackle a fall in the number of women having

:04:46.:04:48.

More than a quarter of women don't have regular smear tests.

:04:49.:04:52.

During a commons debate, Dewsbury MP Paula Sherriff looked

:04:53.:04:56.

at how more women could be encouraged to book appointments.

:04:57.:05:00.

Will the minister commit to a national campaign to prioritise

:05:01.:05:03.

increasing the level of cervical screening attendance?

:05:04.:05:06.

And how will the Government encourage cooperation

:05:07.:05:08.

between the different levels of the health service to ensure

:05:09.:05:11.

that we see cervical screening rates rise once again?

:05:12.:05:16.

Parents of three and four-year-old children in North Yorkshire

:05:17.:05:18.

will soon be able to receive double the amount of free childcare

:05:19.:05:22.

Eligible parents will be able to claim up to 30 hours of childcare

:05:23.:05:27.

per week from April, doubling the existing 15 hours

:05:28.:05:31.

Parents in York are already benefiting from the scheme,

:05:32.:05:35.

which is expected to be rolled out nationally next year.

:05:36.:05:38.

The announcement has been welcomed but nursery bosses say the money

:05:39.:05:41.

they receive is unlikely to cover their costs.

:05:42.:05:46.

Sheffield Theatres are celebrating after being awarded the title

:05:47.:05:49.

of Regional Theatre of the Year for the third time.

:05:50.:05:52.

Industry judges were impressed by their productions,

:05:53.:05:55.

including the classic Show Boat which ran at the Crucible last year.

:05:56.:06:00.

Praise was also given for the theatre's policy of making

:06:01.:06:03.

Several Yorkshire riders are competing in

:06:04.:06:09.

the Cyclo-cross World Championships in Luxembourg this weekend.

:06:10.:06:13.

Huddersfield's Amira Mellor is in great form, ahead

:06:14.:06:15.

Our national under-23 men's champion Billy Harding has one

:06:16.:06:23.

of the hardest jobs, in a tough race category on Sunday.

:06:24.:06:26.

And Leeds teenager Tom Pidcock is hot favourite for

:06:27.:06:29.

I am not sure it is good weather for cycling. Let's take a look.

:06:30.:06:44.

It's been bitterly cold but the good news is it is going to be less so.

:06:45.:06:48.

Milder weather is on the way, but with that, cloud

:06:49.:06:51.

and some rain at times over the next few days.

:06:52.:06:53.

And we have got rain out there this evening,

:06:54.:06:55.

spells of it continuing on and off overnight, and lots of cloud,

:06:56.:06:58.

but that will hold temperatures up higher

:06:59.:07:00.

than last night, down to around one or two Celsius.

:07:01.:07:02.

So, tomorrow, through the morning, a lot of cloud.

:07:03.:07:06.

As you can see, outbreaks of rain and drizzle.

:07:07.:07:08.

An improvement through the day, but it will be a slow process.

:07:09.:07:11.

The rain could be more light and patchy, with better

:07:12.:07:13.

spells of dry weather, and we're hopeful but it's not

:07:14.:07:16.

guaranteed that there will be some cloud breaks pushing

:07:17.:07:18.

in from the west towards the end of the day.

:07:19.:07:20.

A high of around six or seven Celsius.

:07:21.:07:22.

A lot of uncertainty about Sunday - a fine start, clouding over,

:07:23.:07:25.

and there will be a spell of rain for some of us,

:07:26.:07:29.
