:00:00. > :00:00.Good evening and welcome to the late Look North.

:00:00. > :00:00.Tonight, what are the main political parties saying

:00:07. > :00:09.It's one of the key issues in Yorkshire, particularly

:00:10. > :00:14.Doncaster which has seen a big influx of migrants.

:00:15. > :00:16.We need the acknowledgement that there are problems

:00:17. > :00:19.It's getting like a ghetto round here, and you've got

:00:20. > :00:21.two or three factors that don't like each other.

:00:22. > :00:23.They just seem to keep to their own communities,

:00:24. > :00:29.They send money back home, they don't spend it in England.

:00:30. > :00:31.And a Bradford Imam is arrested in Pakistan over the murder

:00:32. > :00:43.And a few changes in the weather over the next few days.

:00:44. > :00:51.I'll be back later in the programme with all the details.

:00:52. > :00:54.Politicians and commentators have been debating the leak

:00:55. > :00:57.of Labour's manifesto, but one of the hottest

:00:58. > :01:00.topics of the election - immigration - has, so far,

:01:01. > :01:05.Jeremy Corbyn says there'll be no false promises on migration,

:01:06. > :01:08.and immigration will be managed reasonably.

:01:09. > :01:10.But what do voters in Yorkshire think?

:01:11. > :01:13.It was one of the reasons why most people here voted

:01:14. > :01:18.James Vincent reports from Doncaster where the immigrant population went

:01:19. > :01:28.Sandwiched between the River Don and the East Coast Main line,

:01:29. > :01:32.Hexthorpe's always been a proper labour part of Doncaster,

:01:33. > :01:35.but if any party wants the voters here, they need

:01:36. > :01:37.to get their immigration policy right, because whenever we went,

:01:38. > :01:43.we found people worried about how that was affecting their lives.

:01:44. > :01:45.They just seem to keep to their own communities.

:01:46. > :01:52.I know there are difficulties here in Hexthorpe,

:01:53. > :01:55.and I'm not going to be the one to say no, there aren't.

:01:56. > :01:59.Everybody's got a right to make a good living for

:02:00. > :02:02.themselves wherever they go, but you are going to get a few

:02:03. > :02:05.A lot of them, they're decent people, you know.

:02:06. > :02:07.The majority of them are really good folks.

:02:08. > :02:09.There is still massive division within the community.

:02:10. > :02:12.It's not being addressed appropriately with our politicians.

:02:13. > :02:16.We're having to deal with it ourselves.

:02:17. > :02:18.And that is where the politicians are meant to

:02:19. > :02:21.Harry took the Look North red sofa out to

:02:22. > :02:24.Saint George's Minster in Doncaster to try

:02:25. > :02:33.and find out what those big ideas were.

:02:34. > :02:35.Now that we're are leaving the European Union,

:02:36. > :02:39.that we make sure we have a fair immigration policy and that we don't

:02:40. > :02:41.leave other areas, for example like the NHS,

:02:42. > :02:50.Theresa May has in the made it clear that in the negotiations,

:02:51. > :02:52.she will prioritise freedom of movement.

:02:53. > :02:55.Well, our policy, ultimate policy, is to get

:02:56. > :02:58.Like we've said, we're going to do that...

:02:59. > :03:00.You've failed for seven years to do that.

:03:01. > :03:03.Well, when we have Brexit, we will have a completely

:03:04. > :03:06.We will be able to control immigration

:03:07. > :03:08.from within the EU, which has caused a lot of upset.

:03:09. > :03:10.A lot of people don't feel that they've been

:03:11. > :03:12.consulted and they don't feel they have consent.

:03:13. > :03:14.The only way to control immigration

:03:15. > :03:18.The only country that's been pushing for that for decades is Ukip.

:03:19. > :03:20.Who would you trust to actually work genuinely and

:03:21. > :03:21.constructively towards controlling our borders?

:03:22. > :03:29.We want to have a fund to help communities to reconcile

:03:30. > :03:35.the problems between communities and migrants coming in.

:03:36. > :03:42.Initially funded by money from the European Union,

:03:43. > :03:45.while we are still a member, from the social fund.

:03:46. > :03:48.When those ideas are finally printed in manifestos,

:03:49. > :03:55.people here will want to know the details.

:03:56. > :03:57.Staying with the election, candidates for all of Yorkshire's

:03:58. > :03:59.constituencies have been announced this evening.

:04:00. > :04:02.Ukip are fielding 20 fewer candidates across the region

:04:03. > :04:06.Our data journalist David Rhodes has been pouring over

:04:07. > :04:13.In 2015, the four main parties all fielded candidates

:04:14. > :04:23.But this time Ukip are fielding 20 fewer candidates.

:04:24. > :04:25.Some of this is tactical so they're not standing in places

:04:26. > :04:29.like York and Harrogate which voted to stay in the EU.

:04:30. > :04:31.But there also not standing in two out of the three

:04:32. > :04:34.Doncaster constituencies which voted for Brexit,

:04:35. > :04:39.a sign perhaps the parties resources are stretched.

:04:40. > :04:44.The Greens are also standing in ten fewer places.

:04:45. > :04:47.They announced today they aren't standing in York Central so as not

:04:48. > :04:49.to split the Labour vote in an attempt to prevent

:04:50. > :04:52.And these tactical decisions could have an impact

:04:53. > :04:59.because the Tories have an electoral advantage in the marginals.

:05:00. > :05:02.For Labour to pick up two marginal Tory seats,

:05:03. > :05:07.they would need around a 6% swing of the vote from the Conservatives.

:05:08. > :05:12.To win the five marginal seats Labour need a 10% swing.

:05:13. > :05:16.The Greens not standing in Morley and Outwood helps Labour.

:05:17. > :05:19.But flip a coin and this is potentially the Conservative

:05:20. > :05:24.advantage, because if they see a 6% swing in the vote from Labour,

:05:25. > :05:27.they could pick up four Labour seats.

:05:28. > :05:31.Ukip not standing in Halifax and Wakefield will probably

:05:32. > :05:36.But to win a place like York Central the Conservatives

:05:37. > :05:42.Ukip and the Greens fielding fewer candidates this year

:05:43. > :05:44.could have a decisive impact on the results of

:05:45. > :05:49.One other piece of election news tonight -

:05:50. > :05:53.in Bradford West the former leader of the Respect Party Salma Yaqoob

:05:54. > :05:56.has announced she plans to run as an independent candidate.

:05:57. > :05:59.Miss Yaqoob resigned as leader of Respect in 2012 citing

:06:00. > :06:03.a breakdown of trust with senior members of the party.

:06:04. > :06:07.At the time, Bradford West was held by the Respect MP George Galloway.

:06:08. > :06:11.And in the coming days, you'll be able to find a full list

:06:12. > :06:13.of candidates standing in all of our constituencies

:06:14. > :06:20.An Imam from Bradford has been arrested on suspicion of murdering

:06:21. > :06:25.Syed Sibtain Kazmi is alleged to have been involved in

:07:33. > :07:35.by the authorities for political reasons.

:07:36. > :07:41.I'm from Pakistan as well, but they don't like this country.

:07:42. > :07:44.They do very bad things to the people when they arrest us.

:07:45. > :07:48.We request the Pakistan government, he is a very innocent person,

:07:49. > :07:52.he's done nothing wrong, he must be released as soon as possible.

:07:53. > :07:57.Mr Kazmi spoke to the BBC last year after the death of Samia Shahid -

:08:12. > :08:16.They said we will harm your family and you

:08:21. > :08:23.Now the Imam is detained in Islamabad.

:09:34. > :09:38.starting to go downhill from here on in?

:09:39. > :09:44.Yes. Although it will be as warm tomorrow, there is the risk of a few

:09:45. > :09:48.showers and my plans are wilting, so you will be pleased to know if you

:09:49. > :09:53.are a gardener that there is rain on the cards of the next few days. Most

:09:54. > :09:56.of the rain will be Saturday night into Sunday morning with some

:09:57. > :10:00.showers tomorrow and Sunday as well. Tomorrow, humid. Some sunshine but

:10:01. > :10:04.more clout compared to today. There will be a few showers but they will

:10:05. > :10:08.be quite a hit and miss so not everyone will catch them. Low

:10:09. > :10:12.pressure gradually taking over over the next few days. The most useful

:10:13. > :10:18.of the rain will be this which will post through on Saturday night. It

:10:19. > :10:24.will bring some persistent rain overnight into Sunday. At the

:10:25. > :10:28.moment, more clout from the south so with more clout compared with last

:10:29. > :10:31.night, it will not be as cold. Temperatures generally dropping back

:10:32. > :10:35.to around seven or 8 degrees and there could be the odd light shower.

:10:36. > :10:39.There will be more clout tomorrow compared to today but still some

:10:40. > :10:43.brighter sunnier spells at times. There is the risk of a few showers

:10:44. > :10:47.but the club will be thick enough to produce if you hit and miss showers.

:10:48. > :10:51.Later in the day, if you catch one of the show was, they could well be

:10:52. > :10:56.heavy and sundry with temperatures getting to around 18 or 19 degrees

:10:57. > :11:02.so similar to today but feeling more humid. During most daylight hours,

:11:03. > :11:02.rain overnight into Sunday and then showers.

:11:03. > :11:06.We want to see the economy work for everybody, not

:11:07. > :11:09.Now the weather. , yes a humid dead. We have had

:11:10. > :11:43.photographs of the Now, humid air is coming in hyped.

:11:44. > :11:45.This cloud will be spreading northwards bringing rain and

:11:46. > :11:49.showers. More cloud will head our way. Yes, more rain to come across

:11:50. > :11:50.the south-east over night
