to the late Look North. The young brain tumour | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
patients from Yorkshire who campaigners say are being | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
short-changed by a lack And police and the council are told | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
to change the way they deal with people protesting | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
against tree-felling in Sheffield. And it's been another mild and sunny | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
day across the region, but there are a few changes to | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
come through tomorrow, and it does look unsettled | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
from Friday onwards. I'll be back later in the programme | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
with all the details. Campaigners from Yorkshire | :00:26. | :00:37. | |
who are calling for more money to be invested in brain cancer research | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
have taken their case They're angry that just 1% | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
of the national spend on cancer research is allocated | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
to the disease, yet they say brain tumours kill more children | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
and adults under the age of 40 Emma Glasbey has been to meet | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
two women who have been Aaron was a 20-year-old university | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
student when he discovered A lot of his friends would describe | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
him as the life of the party. One day, without warning, | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
Aaron had a seizure After surgery and radiotherapy, | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
his brain tumour disappeared, but two years later | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
Aaron's tumour came back. He died in December | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
at the age of 24. because you've got your 24-year-old | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
son and all he wants He wanted nothing more than to be | :01:34. | :01:48. | |
able to go to London and live with his friends from uni, | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
and it was all taken away from him. Aaron had been frustrated | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
by the lack of funding He donated his brain | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
to medical research. A 24-year-old in this | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
day and age should not lose his life to something that, | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
if they have the right kind of funding, if they have enough | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
funding, they can research The latest figures show 404 people | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
in Yorkshire were diagnosed That's a 13% increase on the year | :02:24. | :02:34. | |
before, so the problem is growing and, although it's the biggest | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
cancer killer of those under 40, just 1% of national cancer research | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
spending has been allocated Lisa has a tumour | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
growing into her brain. She's been told it | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
cannot be removed. Tonight, Lisa has been | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
at Westminster to join the campaign for more funding | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
for brain tumour research. I've lost a lot of friends that | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
I have met through this process with brain tumours, | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
and we're all like a little gang. But we keep losing people | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
on the way, so we really do need Lisa has recently undergone | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Later this week she'll have a scan | :03:19. | :03:25. | |

BBC Look North, Baildon. South Yorkshire Police | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
and Sheffield Council have been told to change the way they deal | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
with protests against The multi-million-pound scheme | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
to replace trees and repair pavements has been controversial | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
and led to arrests. Now, South Yorkshire's | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
Police Commissioner Dr Alan Billings has said the whole issue | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
is being handled badly. We will have legal reaction | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
in a minute, but, first, | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
this report from John Cundy. By night and day across Sheffield, | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
trees deemed to be dangerous Are you proud of your city? | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
You are shouting. Some have been taken to court | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
but their cases were dropped. So far, 14 tree-felling protesters | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
like heritage writer Calvin Payne, All of those cases | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
thrown out of court. Now the police and the council | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
are being told they are going to have to find different ways | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
of solving this long-running Calvin Payne says his | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
fellow protesters will be I would tell them now that we will | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
only let you do what we decide as a community that we are going | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
to let you do. So if they want to do their work, | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
they need to come and talk to us, but we are not going to accept that | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
150-year-old tree is felled for Meanwhile, South Yorkshire's Police | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
Commissioner says the way the prosecutions have been handled | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
has been wasting time and money. In a sense, it is over to you, | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
Sheffield City Council, to find out a political solution, | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
but if they think that this can be resolved by the police taking action | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
and bringing arrests under trade union legislation, | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
that clearly isn't going to happen because the Crown Prosecution | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
Service won't allow it. There is a difference | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
between protesting and preventing, and the protesters, | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
if they are preventing the legal work and our responsibilities, | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
then I would ask them to consider this and stand to one | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
side, and allow us to South Yorkshire Police say | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
they acknowledge the dropping of the legal actions, | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
but have added... The controversial tree-felling | :05:38. | :05:51. | |
is due to be completed by the end of this year, | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
whether or not protests continue. John Cundy, | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
BBC Look North, Sheffield. Earlier, I spoke to James | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
Littlehales, a criminal barrister. I asked him what he thought | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
of the Police Crime Commissioner dismissing further arrests under | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
trade union laws. I thought all along | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
that they were in some difficulties arresting | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
and trying to prosecute people Certainly, for example, people | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
who were on their own private land, And I know the Crown | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
Prosecution Service have taken the view about it, | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
the various cases that there have been, and not proceeded with them, | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
and I can't say I'm shocked at all. Yeah, that's what they've | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
said, haven't they? The CPS have said they are not going | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
to pursue charges because they don't want to criminalise people | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
for peaceful protests. I think you must have the right | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
to protest peacefully, and it would appear lawfully, | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
in the circumstances now. So, the police are now placing it | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
back with the politicians, saying they need to take | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
a more active role. Will they, then, | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
use civil injunctions? The remedy for Sheffield | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
would be civil injunctions The problem there is it's | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
the council tax payers of Sheffield who are effectively funding any | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
actions against themselves. What would you say politicians | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
will be thinking right now, knowing that the Police | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
Crime Commissioner has said, I would be surprised | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
if they use a number Their concern must be | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
that they don't wish to alienate The Crown Prosecution Service has | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
received files from police in West Yorkshire, Derbyshire | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
and Nottinghamshire in relation Around 20 forces across the country | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
have been looking at the expenses of Conservative MPs in marginal | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
seats, to see if the costs of activists being bussed | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
in for support should have The constituencies involved | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
haven't been named. A fundraising page set up in memory | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
of a 14-year-old Sheffield boy who died following a kickboxing | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
fight has raised more than ?4,000. Scott Marsden died a few days | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
after collapsing during a kickboxing title fight in Leeds | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
on Saturday night. Yorkshire Ambulance Service has | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
responded to criticism of its response to the incident | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
from the president of the World Kickboxing | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
Association, England. It says it worked | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
tirelessly to save Scott. A teenager arrested in connection | :08:24. | :08:24. | |
with the death of a woman who was hit by a car in Doncaster | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
has been released on bail. 62-year-old grandmother Susan Gravel | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
was knocked down in Stainforth A 17-year-old boy who arrested | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving has been bailed | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
while inquiries continue. A water pump has been unveiled | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
in York in honour of the scientist who first discovered that Cholera | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
was a waterborne disease. Dr John Snow was born | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
in the city in 1813. Today his descendants and academics | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
from the University of York gathered Dr Snow's research helped | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
end a cholera epidemic He was also | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
Queen Victoria's anaesthetist. People know about his work | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
on cholera perhaps more than his work on anaesthesia, | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
but I think his history is really, sort of, focused very | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
much on his London time, and his connections to York | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
are not very well-known, and I think it's a good thing that | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
we're having more prominence Now let's take a look | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
at the weather. It has been lovely today. Absolutely | :09:28. | :09:39. | |
sunny and it felt like maybe instead of March. Up to 15 Celsius. Say | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
goodbye to the dry and fine and sunny and mild weather, because | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
unsettled for Friday and the weekend. Tomorrow a transitional day | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
with more cloud and cooler, with a bit of rain in most places staying | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
dry. It has been settled but the pressure chart means lots of low | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
pressure and a fast moving jet stream pushing in our direction, | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
with several weather fronts through with several weather fronts through | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
Friday in the weekend. Quite blustery conditions as well with | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
tightly packed isobars. Some isolated miss Venus through this | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
evening and then generally a bit more cloud through the west | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
overnight. Merely for western and north-western part. Seven or eight | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
Celsius. The best sunshine tomorrow through the morning and away from | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
the hills. Gradually everywhere, a bit more cloud developing through | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
the day, before becoming overcast the day, before becoming overcast | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
during afternoon. Rain in the north-west edging down from the | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
deals along the Pennines and not much headway until tomorrow evening. | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
When it does, all this rain will fragment. Like a patchy rain later | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
in the day and soggy through the afternoon in the Dales. Cooler than | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
today with temperatures up to 11 Celsius. A cold start and touch of | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
frost on Friday and windy day with rain for the hills. That's it from | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
the late been. The outlook, rain around, if | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
it stays dry I will be surprised. Here is Nick with the national | :11:06. | :11:06. | |
headlines. For large parts of Wales and England | :11:07. | :11:23. | |
there was blue sky and warmth. Warmest day of the year, a clumsy | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
way of saying the UK had the highest temperature of the year so far. | :11:30. | :11:39. | |
There have been big contrasts. Some of that misty, murky weather to the | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
south-west is advancing across other parts of England and Wales through | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
the night. Ahead of that, where we have clear spells, central and | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
eastern England there could be fog patches developing, outbreaks of | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
rain | :11:53. | :11:54. |
