:00:00. > :00:00.Good evening and welcome to the late Look North.
:00:00. > :00:00.Rallies in Pakistan attract hundreds of supporters for the Bradford
:00:07. > :00:21.And a brave start for Huddersfield in their FA Cup replay
:00:22. > :00:23.but Manchester City put a decisive end to their hopes.
:00:24. > :00:26.And things are turning pretty unsettled for some of us tonight.
:00:27. > :00:29.Outbreaks of rain and some snow especially on high ground.
:00:30. > :00:36.The Bradford man who travelled to Scotland to murder a shopkeeper
:00:37. > :00:38.has been sending messages from his prison cell
:00:39. > :00:42.to a growing number of hardline followers in Pakistan.
:00:43. > :00:44.Tanveer Ahmed is serving a life sentence for
:00:45. > :00:47.the murder of Asad Shah, who he accused of committing
:00:48. > :00:51.blasphemy, claiming he insulted the Prophet Muhammad.
:00:52. > :00:54.But, as our Pakistan correspondent Secunder Kermani reports,
:00:55. > :01:02.for some in Bradford, the comments have sparked anger.
:01:03. > :01:04.Outside the family home of Tanveer Ahmed,
:01:05. > :01:09.a 400-odd strong crowd is shouting slogans praising him.
:01:10. > :01:16.Last year, he travelled to Scotland from his home in Bradford
:01:17. > :01:21.to kill Asad Shah who was from the persecuted Ahmadi sect.
:01:22. > :01:23.Ahmed believed the Glasgow shopkeeper was
:01:24. > :01:27.committing blasphemy by claiming in online videos to be a prophet.
:01:28. > :01:32.For many here though, that killing was justified
:01:33. > :01:36.and they see Tanveer Ahmed as a hero.
:01:37. > :01:39.This gathering has been organised by a hardline but
:01:40. > :01:43.popular Pakistani cleric, Rizvi, who leads an anti-blasphemy
:01:44. > :01:51.Rizvi says he's been speaking to Tanveer Ahmed on the phone
:01:52. > :01:59.TRANSLATION: We are proud of the fact that he has killed.
:02:00. > :02:04.I am proud of the fact that we are in contact.
:02:05. > :02:06.But lots of Muslims would say one of the central
:02:07. > :02:09.characteristics of the Prophet - Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam -
:02:10. > :02:14.and that he forgave people who insulted him.
:02:15. > :02:16.Even if the Prophet forgave someone,
:02:17. > :02:20.that was because it was his personal right to do so.
:02:21. > :02:23.But his followers don't have that right to forgive someone
:02:24. > :02:28.The Scottish prison service has now put a stop to
:02:29. > :02:31.Tanveer Ahmed's audio messages but Rizvi
:02:32. > :02:35.says his reputation in Pakistan will continue to grow.
:02:36. > :02:37.In Bradford, the local Ahmedi Association
:02:38. > :02:41.has raised concern about support for his killing.
:02:42. > :02:44.The government of Pakistan has given a free hand
:02:45. > :02:48.to all the fanatics in that country who can openly preach
:02:49. > :02:53.hatred and incite violence against other communities.
:02:54. > :02:56.It's also shocking because Tanveer Ahmed travelled
:02:57. > :02:58.all the way from Bradford to Glasgow to kill
:02:59. > :03:03.an innocent person just because he did not agree with his beliefs.
:03:04. > :03:07.Tanveer Ahmed's crime was carried out in Britain
:03:08. > :03:09.but was inspired by ideas from Pakistan.
:03:10. > :03:19.Now it seems it's his turn to inspire others.
:03:20. > :03:22.Unlikely as it might seem, sometimes Yorkshire gets too much sun
:03:23. > :03:25.and the owners of solar panels find that they can't use
:03:26. > :03:27.all the electricity their panels produce.
:03:28. > :03:30.But now a village in the heart of one of Britain's former
:03:31. > :03:33.coalfields is hosting a ground-breaking trial
:03:34. > :03:36.which could solve this problem by storing the power for later.
:03:37. > :03:39.And, as our business correspondent Danni Hewson reports,
:03:40. > :03:42.it could pave the way for tens of thousands more homes
:03:43. > :03:49.Harnessing the power of light isn't just a green way of producing
:03:50. > :03:53.energy, it is also a popular way of keeping costs down.
:03:54. > :03:55.So when Elaine's council house provider
:03:56. > :03:58.offered to fit them for free, she jumped at the chance,
:03:59. > :04:04.happily changing the way she lived to make the most of solar power.
:04:05. > :04:05.If you're using your washing machine,
:04:06. > :04:11.So instead of having your evening meal at six o'clock,
:04:12. > :04:17.We shall be able to revert back to an evening meal
:04:18. > :04:22.That's because Elaine and 39 other council tenants
:04:23. > :04:24.are taking part in a new trial,
:04:25. > :04:28.one which looks to revolutionise the industry and make
:04:29. > :04:32.solar a better option for those whose main electricity consumption
:04:33. > :04:37.Typically, people aren't in during the day.
:04:38. > :04:40.There solar power are still producing energy, but normally that
:04:41. > :04:45.With our batteries, we can store up that energy and feed it back
:04:46. > :04:48.into the house in the evening when people are home,
:04:49. > :04:55.so it's all about maximising people's self-consumption.
:04:56. > :04:58.With the drop in feed-in tariffs, the chance to save more
:04:59. > :05:02.by using more will be appealing, particularly for private households
:05:03. > :05:06.looking to invest in solar like this estate.
:05:07. > :05:09.It's estimated each household saved about 40% off
:05:10. > :05:12.their electricity bills when the solar panels went up.
:05:13. > :05:15.With the new batteries, it's expected those
:05:16. > :05:23.Well, solar's big drawback has always been its inflexibility.
:05:24. > :05:26.When it's bright, there can be huge surges to the grid
:05:27. > :05:29.and in some places, they've had to limit the number
:05:30. > :05:34.This trial will monitor how effectively storage can smooth
:05:35. > :05:38.If we want to fit more solar panels in a street,
:05:39. > :05:41.what it means is that we might have to put
:05:42. > :05:42.in bigger cables and bigger transformers
:05:43. > :05:45.and that leads to additional cost, might lead to disruption
:05:46. > :05:49.And it might lead to extra time scales as the customer might
:05:50. > :05:53.have to wait, so if we can work differently in future and if we can
:05:54. > :05:56.work on this trial, and work out how many we can fit in the future
:05:57. > :05:59.without having to go through all those extra steps.
:06:00. > :06:02.It's just one of many energy trials underway
:06:03. > :06:09.and will be closely monitored over the next two years.
:06:10. > :06:11.In the day's other news, a 32-year-old man's been arrested
:06:12. > :06:14.on suspicion of the murder of a man in Sheffield.
:06:15. > :06:18.23-year-old Aseel Al-Essaie was fatally shot
:06:19. > :06:20.in the Upperthorpe area just over a week ago.
:06:21. > :06:22.A 29-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder
:06:23. > :06:26.and a 23-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of assisting an
:06:27. > :06:32.Police continue to appeal for witnesses.
:06:33. > :06:35.South Yorkshire Police have told a High Court judge
:06:36. > :06:38.they were "strong-armed" into giving a BBC reporter information
:06:39. > :06:41.about an investigation into Sir Cliff Richard.
:06:42. > :06:44.The singer has taken legal action against the Corporation
:06:45. > :06:46.and South Yorkshire Police for coverage of a raid
:06:47. > :06:58.A collection of medals including a Victoria Cross awarded
:06:59. > :07:01.to a Leeds soldier for his actions during the Battle of the Somme has
:07:02. > :07:04.sold at auction for more than ?280,000.
:07:05. > :07:07.George Sanders received the Victoria Cross,
:07:08. > :07:11.the highest possible award for gallantry, in 1916.
:07:12. > :07:14.His medals were bought by Lord Ashcroft and will go
:07:15. > :07:21.at the Imperial War Museum in London.
:07:22. > :07:24.Huddersfield's hopes of progressing to the quarter finals of the FA Cup
:07:25. > :07:27.have been decisively ended with a 5-1 defeat
:07:28. > :07:33.7,000 Town fans had travelled to the Etihad Stadium
:07:34. > :07:36.cheer on their team, but it was not to be.
:07:37. > :07:51.Mark, just take us to the match. Yes, Huddersfield Town went down 5-1
:07:52. > :07:56.here at the Ettie had Stadium against Manchester city and that
:07:57. > :08:01.gulf in class is hardly surprising when you look at where both clubs
:08:02. > :08:06.are. Man City are third in the Premier League. Huddersfield Town
:08:07. > :08:11.are third in the championship, plus David Wagner made nine changes to
:08:12. > :08:15.his team tonight. But it started brilliantly well for Huddersfield
:08:16. > :08:23.Town. They went ahead after six minutes. The former Manchester city
:08:24. > :08:27.academy player ran past Claudio Bravo and the 7200 fans went berserk
:08:28. > :08:34.with chants of "Yorkshire, Yorkshire, Yorkshire! " For the away
:08:35. > :08:40.end. After sustained Manchester city pressure, Sally equalised. They
:08:41. > :08:47.conceded two more before half-time and two more after the break. City's
:08:48. > :08:58.final goal, to make it 5-1 to Manchester city, was scored by Ian
:08:59. > :09:02.at show in injury time. They must now go back on trying to get the
:09:03. > :09:05.Premier League. They have a really important championship fixture
:09:06. > :09:10.against the leaders, Newcastle United, at the John Smith Stadium on
:09:11. > :09:14.Saturday evening and I think the manager, the players and the fans
:09:15. > :09:18.will all agree that actually, that match against Newcastle on Saturday
:09:19. > :09:20.is far more important than today's exit in the FA Cup. Thank you very
:09:21. > :09:23.much. And news just in -
:09:24. > :09:25.congratulations to Harry who's been named Regional
:09:26. > :09:27.Presenter of the Year at the Royal Television
:09:28. > :09:31.Society awards. Great stuff. Time to check out the
:09:32. > :09:43.weather prospects now. For most of us, today wasn't too
:09:44. > :09:48.bad. Turning a little wintry overnight and we may see sleet or
:09:49. > :09:52.snow particularly on higher ground as rain, blustery winds as well. But
:09:53. > :09:55.look at these weather watchers. Whitby today, gorgeous sunshine. If
:09:56. > :10:01.I just overlay that on the satellite, you can see the clouds
:10:02. > :10:04.are thinning and breaking there. Further inland, West Yorkshire
:10:05. > :10:08.today, a lot bit cloudier and overnight, we will see more of that
:10:09. > :10:12.cloud piling in and here comes that rain. Turning quite readily to sleet
:10:13. > :10:17.or snow on higher ground. Some of this false to low levels as well.
:10:18. > :10:21.Lows of one or two Celsius. Tomorrow morning, as it is close to the south
:10:22. > :10:25.we could see ice forming across some parts of north Yorkshire for example
:10:26. > :10:33.where it will be mostly dry but as you can see, by the time we get to
:10:34. > :10:35.the afternoon, it looks a lot better. Things will brighten up.
:10:36. > :10:39.Sunny spells. Still quite breezy though. Eight or nine the high with
:10:40. > :10:42.just the odd shower. Tonight, largely dry, winds switching to be
:10:43. > :10:46.more southerly along comes another band of rain from the south in a
:10:47. > :10:51.second. There it is. And it is part of a weather front, if I just zoom
:10:52. > :10:55.out as reader pressure chart. Moving to the north, all tied up to this
:10:56. > :10:58.area of low pressure. That'll be with us on Saturday and Sunday is
:10:59. > :11:02.returning unsettled as we head to the weekend. I'll leave you with
:11:03. > :11:06.outlook. A whole load of 11 is. What does that mean? Maybe John Hammond
:11:07. > :11:11.will tell you.
