:00:41. > :00:43.Both say news of having to wait another six years for their state

:00:44. > :00:49.I just want to get my pension because I've paid into it.

:00:50. > :00:51.If you'd paid into a private pension, they couldn't turn

:00:52. > :00:56.round and say, all right, you're not getting any money.

:00:57. > :00:58.And they would have informed you of the changes.

:00:59. > :01:01.You can't plan your life based on what you don't know.

:01:02. > :01:03.I remember watching George Osborne stand up

:01:04. > :01:06.in Parliament and give a speech about the new retirement age.

:01:07. > :01:10.I was so shocked I thought, that can't be right,

:01:11. > :01:15.that's a mistake, they'll look at that again and then in a couple

:01:16. > :01:18.of weeks' time he'll be making a different statement,

:01:19. > :01:21.Traditionally, pension age for a women was 60,

:01:22. > :01:28.By next year, it will be 66 for both.

:01:29. > :01:32.That affects 2.6 million women in particular who'll lose up

:01:33. > :01:39.Many until very recently had relied on that to help their retirement.

:01:40. > :01:44.They've now joined a protest movement of thousands

:01:45. > :01:49.They've held rallies and handed in petitions.

:01:50. > :01:51.They say they're victims of a broken promise made as far back

:01:52. > :01:54.as the 1940s when national insurance funded pensions were

:01:55. > :02:00.Insured from the cradle to the grave, that is the purpose

:02:01. > :02:06.But in a statement, the Department for Work

:02:07. > :02:21.But the women say they won't give up.

:02:22. > :02:28.Another rally is planned outside Parliament on budget day next week.

:02:29. > :02:30.There were severe delays to train services across Yorkshire tonight

:02:56. > :03:01.Banks, who's 18, was jailed for life at Leeds Crown Court.

:03:02. > :03:04.A Sheffield Hospital is to become the UK centre for pioneering robotic

:03:05. > :03:09.brain surgery which could change the lives of thousands of patients.

:03:10. > :03:12.Rosa the Robot uses a GPS-like system to map the human brain

:03:13. > :03:17.and carry out neuro surgery with the kind of pinpoint accuracy,

:03:18. > :03:22.It'll be based at the Royal Hallamshire and today

:03:23. > :03:25.a fundraising drive was launched to cover its running costs.

:03:26. > :03:30.Leanne Hall started suffering from epileptic seizures

:03:31. > :03:33.after developing a brain tumour as a child.

:03:34. > :03:37.Despite having three open brain surgery operations,

:03:38. > :03:46.Depending which seizure I've had depends on what I can do that today.

:03:47. > :03:48.Because I'm not allowed to go out the house my own

:03:49. > :03:54.And if I do too much, I get too tired and then I end up

:03:55. > :04:00.But there is hope for Leanne in the form of a robot which carries out

:04:01. > :04:05.The Royal Hallamshire in Sheffield is the first NHS hospital

:04:06. > :04:10.Now, I know it sounds like science fiction

:04:11. > :04:18.It's incredibly clever, it makes a 3-D map of a person's

:04:19. > :04:22.brain and then can pinpoint extremely accurately

:04:23. > :04:28.It's much less invasive and it means that recovery times are sped up.

:04:29. > :04:32.If there is a way we can do complicated brain operations

:04:33. > :04:37.without having to open the head, without having to send the patient

:04:38. > :04:40.to intensive care post-operatively, without having to do a general

:04:41. > :04:45.On top of that, if you add that we can get better quality,

:04:46. > :04:48.more precise information as well, then it's a bonus.

:04:49. > :04:53.But they need a quarter of a million pounds to keep

:04:54. > :04:58.So today a fundraising campaign's been launched

:04:59. > :05:06.It means Leanne can be treated by the robot,

:05:07. > :05:12.When I went to Sheffield, they've kind of given me a light

:05:13. > :05:17.at the end of the tunnel and I've never had the chance to say that

:05:18. > :05:29.And I just found that amazing, that something can do that.

:05:30. > :05:33.In football, Leeds United travelled to Birmingham City

:05:34. > :05:35.looking for a victory to help their promotion hopes.

:05:36. > :05:39.Chris Wood scored twice and Alfonzo Pedraza

:05:40. > :05:48.The win puts them just one point behind Huddersfield

:05:49. > :05:53.A successful night in Superleague too with a victory for

:05:54. > :05:57.Wakefield battled through the rain and won 16-12,

:05:58. > :06:10.Tries and conversions came from Caton-Brown and Williams.

:06:11. > :06:16.Now, let's take a look at the weather. It has been very wet today,

:06:17. > :06:20.hasn't it? It has and that wet weather is set to continue overnight

:06:21. > :06:23.and night. An area of low pressure to the south of Ireland is bringing

:06:24. > :06:26.us a weather front from the Atlantic. It is tracking up from the

:06:27. > :06:30.north through this evening and overnight. Yes, very heavy and

:06:31. > :06:34.persistent if we look at the graphic. There could be summed as

:06:35. > :06:39.well. But it will clear off to the north and we will be left with a

:06:40. > :06:45.cloudy night but a cloudy start to the day tomorrow. No risk of any

:06:46. > :06:48.frost first thing. Quite a cloudy start. We could see one or two

:06:49. > :06:51.outbreaks of light drizzle for parts of north Yorkshire but then the

:06:52. > :06:54.cloud should start again and break through the course of the day and we

:06:55. > :06:59.should see some decent sunny spells through the afternoon. The bridges

:07:00. > :07:03.will get up to nine or 10 Celsius. It could feel even warm if we see

:07:04. > :07:08.some decent spells of sunshine. Sunday may start on a dry and right

:07:09. > :07:12.note but we will see a band of rain track in from the south-west heading

:07:13. > :07:14.up to the north-west. That will be heavy and persistent and will

:07:15. > :07:18.probably last for much of the afternoon. On Monday or Tuesday we

:07:19. > :07:23.could see rain at any time. If you are going out grab your umbrella but

:07:24. > :07:27.things are set to get milder from Tuesday onwards but the rest of the

:07:28. > :07:30.week does look unsettled. That's or we have got time for. I will leave

:07:31. > :07:41.you with your Good evening, mixed fortunes this

:07:42. > :07:47.weekend. Today we saw a fair share of rain. This is the view one of our

:07:48. > :07:51.weather watchers in Doncaster. Not particularly inspiring. This weekend

:07:52. > :07:59.there will be some rain, but some of us will get away with a dry start.

:08:00. > :08:06.This is the satellite and a lovely day in northern Scotland. But cloud

:08:07. > :08:14.and rain and thunder and lightning in this area. Our main area of rain

:08:15. > :08:21.is stuck across Northern Ireland and Scotland. Some snow over higher

:08:22. > :08:25.ground. And windy. Four or five degrees in Glasgow and Belfast.

:08:26. > :08:31.Seven or eight for Cardiff and London. In the morning a miserable

:08:32. > :08:37.start in the east of Scotland with a cold wind. A lot of cloud and rain.

:08:38. > :08:38.And there will be some snow over higher ground. Some
