Good evening and welcome to the late Look North.

:00:00.:00:00.

Tonight, what are the main political parties saying

:00:00.:00:00.

It's one of the key issues in Yorkshire, particularly

:00:07.:00:09.

Doncaster which has seen a big influx of migrants.

:00:10.:00:14.

We need the acknowledgement that there are problems

:00:15.:00:16.

It's getting like a ghetto round here, and you've got

:00:17.:00:19.

two or three factors that don't like each other.

:00:20.:00:21.

They just seem to keep to their own communities,

:00:22.:00:23.

They send money back home, they don't spend it in England.

:00:24.:00:29.

And a Bradford Imam is arrested in Pakistan over the murder

:00:30.:00:31.

And a few changes in the weather over the next few days.

:00:32.:00:43.

I'll be back later in the programme with all the details.

:00:44.:00:51.

Politicians and commentators have been debating the leak

:00:52.:00:54.

of Labour's manifesto, but one of the hottest

:00:55.:00:57.

topics of the election - immigration - has, so far,

:00:58.:01:00.

Jeremy Corbyn says there'll be no false promises on migration,

:01:01.:01:05.

and immigration will be managed reasonably.

:01:06.:01:08.

But what do voters in Yorkshire think?

:01:09.:01:10.

It was one of the reasons why most people here voted

:01:11.:01:13.

James Vincent reports from Doncaster where the immigrant population went

:01:14.:01:18.

Sandwiched between the River Don and the East Coast Main line,

:01:19.:01:28.

Hexthorpe's always been a proper labour part of Doncaster,

:01:29.:01:32.

but if any party wants the voters here, they need

:01:33.:01:35.

to get their immigration policy right, because whenever we went,

:01:36.:01:37.

we found people worried about how that was affecting their lives.

:01:38.:01:43.

They just seem to keep to their own communities.

:01:44.:01:45.

I know there are difficulties here in Hexthorpe,

:01:46.:01:52.

and I'm not going to be the one to say no, there aren't.

:01:53.:01:55.

Everybody's got a right to make a good living for

:01:56.:01:59.

themselves wherever they go, but you are going to get a few

:02:00.:02:02.

A lot of them, they're decent people, you know.

:02:03.:02:05.

The majority of them are really good folks.

:02:06.:02:07.

There is still massive division within the community.

:02:08.:02:09.

It's not being addressed appropriately with our politicians.

:02:10.:02:12.

We're having to deal with it ourselves.

:02:13.:02:16.

And that is where the politicians are meant to

:02:17.:02:18.

Harry took the Look North red sofa out to

:02:19.:02:21.

Saint George's Minster in Doncaster to try

:02:22.:02:24.

and find out what those big ideas were.

:02:25.:02:33.

Now that we're are leaving the European Union,

:02:34.:02:35.

that we make sure we have a fair immigration policy and that we don't

:02:36.:02:39.

leave other areas, for example like the NHS,

:02:40.:02:41.

Theresa May has in the made it clear that in the negotiations,

:02:42.:02:50.

she will prioritise freedom of movement.

:02:51.:02:52.

Well, our policy, ultimate policy, is to get

:02:53.:02:55.

Like we've said, we're going to do that...

:02:56.:02:58.

You've failed for seven years to do that.

:02:59.:03:00.

Well, when we have Brexit, we will have a completely

:03:01.:03:03.

We will be able to control immigration

:03:04.:03:06.

from within the EU, which has caused a lot of upset.

:03:07.:03:08.

A lot of people don't feel that they've been

:03:09.:03:10.

consulted and they don't feel they have consent.

:03:11.:03:12.

The only way to control immigration

:03:13.:03:14.

The only country that's been pushing for that for decades is Ukip.

:03:15.:03:18.

Who would you trust to actually work genuinely and

:03:19.:03:20.

constructively towards controlling our borders?

:03:21.:03:21.

We want to have a fund to help communities to reconcile

:03:22.:03:29.

the problems between communities and migrants coming in.

:03:30.:03:35.

Initially funded by money from the European Union,

:03:36.:03:42.

while we are still a member, from the social fund.

:03:43.:03:45.

When those ideas are finally printed in manifestos,

:03:46.:03:48.

people here will want to know the details.

:03:49.:03:55.

Staying with the election, candidates for all of Yorkshire's

:03:56.:03:57.

constituencies have been announced this evening.

:03:58.:03:59.

Ukip are fielding 20 fewer candidates across the region

:04:00.:04:02.

Our data journalist David Rhodes has been pouring over

:04:03.:04:06.

In 2015, the four main parties all fielded candidates

:04:07.:04:13.

But this time Ukip are fielding 20 fewer candidates.

:04:14.:04:23.

Some of this is tactical so they're not standing in places

:04:24.:04:25.

like York and Harrogate which voted to stay in the EU.

:04:26.:04:29.

But there also not standing in two out of the three

:04:30.:04:31.

Doncaster constituencies which voted for Brexit,

:04:32.:04:34.

a sign perhaps the parties resources are stretched.

:04:35.:04:39.

The Greens are also standing in ten fewer places.

:04:40.:04:44.

They announced today they aren't standing in York Central so as not

:04:45.:04:47.

to split the Labour vote in an attempt to prevent

:04:48.:04:49.

And these tactical decisions could have an impact

:04:50.:04:52.

because the Tories have an electoral advantage in the marginals.

:04:53.:04:59.

For Labour to pick up two marginal Tory seats,

:05:00.:05:02.

they would need around a 6% swing of the vote from the Conservatives.

:05:03.:05:07.

To win the five marginal seats Labour need a 10% swing.

:05:08.:05:12.

The Greens not standing in Morley and Outwood helps Labour.

:05:13.:05:16.

But flip a coin and this is potentially the Conservative

:05:17.:05:19.

advantage, because if they see a 6% swing in the vote from Labour,

:05:20.:05:24.

they could pick up four Labour seats.

:05:25.:05:27.

Ukip not standing in Halifax and Wakefield will probably

:05:28.:05:31.

But to win a place like York Central the Conservatives

:05:32.:05:36.

Ukip and the Greens fielding fewer candidates this year

:05:37.:05:42.

could have a decisive impact on the results of

:05:43.:05:44.

One other piece of election news tonight -

:05:45.:05:49.

in Bradford West the former leader of the Respect Party Salma Yaqoob

:05:50.:05:53.

has announced she plans to run as an independent candidate.

:05:54.:05:56.

Miss Yaqoob resigned as leader of Respect in 2012 citing

:05:57.:05:59.

a breakdown of trust with senior members of the party.

:06:00.:06:03.

At the time, Bradford West was held by the Respect MP George Galloway.

:06:04.:06:07.

And in the coming days, you'll be able to find a full list

:06:08.:06:11.

of candidates standing in all of our constituencies

:06:12.:06:13.

An Imam from Bradford has been arrested on suspicion of murdering

:06:14.:06:20.

Syed Sibtain Kazmi is alleged to have been involved in

:06:21.:06:25.

the killing of the leader of a banned sectarian organisation,

:06:26.:06:29.

as he granted an Islamic divorce to Samia Shahid,

:06:30.:06:36.

who died as a result of a suspected honour killing.

:06:37.:06:39.

At the Haideria Mosque in Bradford, worshippers came together to voice

:06:40.:06:46.

concerns over the sudden arrest of their Imam.

:06:47.:06:50.

Sibtain Kazmi was visiting his brother in Pakistan,

:06:51.:06:53.

about to return home, when he was arrested

:06:54.:06:56.

at Islamabad Airport in connection with a murder committed in 2003.

:06:57.:07:02.

Imam Kazmi was due to lead prayers at a special programme

:07:03.:07:05.

here at the mosque in the community centre this evening.

:07:06.:07:09.

Instead, he's being detained at a police station in Pakistan.

:07:10.:07:14.

Friends say his wife and son back in Bradford are desperately worried

:07:15.:07:17.

He's a very nice man, pious person, always available for peace

:07:18.:07:25.

activities and always available to all community members.

:07:26.:07:29.

The mosque community believe Mr Kazmi's been set up

:07:30.:07:32.

by the authorities for political reasons.

:07:33.:07:35.

I'm from Pakistan as well, but they don't like this country.

:07:36.:07:41.

They do very bad things to the people when they arrest us.

:07:42.:07:44.

We request the Pakistan government, he is a very innocent person,

:07:45.:07:48.

he's done nothing wrong, he must be released as soon as possible.

:07:49.:07:52.

Mr Kazmi spoke to the BBC last year after the death of Samia Shahid -

:07:53.:07:57.

a British woman from Bradford who was killed in a suspected

:07:58.:08:00.

so-called honour killing after she remarried.

:08:01.:08:03.

Imam Kazmi performed her divorce and second marriage.

:08:04.:08:07.

He says he was threatened by Samia's family because he helped her.

:08:08.:08:11.

They said we will harm your family and you

:08:12.:08:16.

and you will pay much price for that if you do that.

:08:17.:08:20.

Now the Imam is detained in Islamabad.

:08:21.:08:23.

Already, friends have started a petition for his release.

:08:24.:08:30.

Two men have been found guilty of encouraging dangerous driving

:08:31.:08:33.

after the deaths of four people in a quad bike crash

:08:34.:08:36.

Terrie Kirby, Alexandra Binns, Ryan Beal and Brandon Brown

:08:37.:08:40.

died when the quad bike they were on was hit by a car

:08:41.:08:44.

Leeds Crown Court heard several vehicles were racing at the time.

:08:45.:08:50.

The men convicted today will be sentenced with the driver of the car

:08:51.:08:53.

involved in the collision and his passenger, who have already

:08:54.:08:56.

admitted causing death by dangerous driving.

:08:57.:09:03.

Rugby League and Featherstone are through to their first

:09:04.:09:05.

Ladbrokes Challenge Cup quarterfinal for 20 years after a 24-12

:09:06.:09:07.

Halifax gave themselves hope with a try from full-back

:09:08.:09:12.

Ben Johnston on the hour but substitute Josh Hardcastle

:09:13.:09:15.

clinched the victory with Featherstone's fourth try

:09:16.:09:18.

eight minutes from the end and Cory Aston

:09:19.:09:20.

Time to check out the weather prospects. Lovely day today, is it

:09:21.:09:33.

starting to go downhill from here on in?

:09:34.:09:38.

Yes. Although it will be as warm tomorrow, there is the risk of a few

:09:39.:09:44.

showers and my plans are wilting, so you will be pleased to know if you

:09:45.:09:48.

are a gardener that there is rain on the cards of the next few days. Most

:09:49.:09:53.

of the rain will be Saturday night into Sunday morning with some

:09:54.:09:56.

showers tomorrow and Sunday as well. Tomorrow, humid. Some sunshine but

:09:57.:10:00.

more clout compared to today. There will be a few showers but they will

:10:01.:10:04.

be quite a hit and miss so not everyone will catch them. Low

:10:05.:10:08.

pressure gradually taking over over the next few days. The most useful

:10:09.:10:12.

of the rain will be this which will post through on Saturday night. It

:10:13.:10:18.

will bring some persistent rain overnight into Sunday. At the

:10:19.:10:24.

moment, more clout from the south so with more clout compared with last

:10:25.:10:28.

night, it will not be as cold. Temperatures generally dropping back

:10:29.:10:31.

to around seven or 8 degrees and there could be the odd light shower.

:10:32.:10:35.

There will be more clout tomorrow compared to today but still some

:10:36.:10:39.

brighter sunnier spells at times. There is the risk of a few showers

:10:40.:10:43.

but the club will be thick enough to produce if you hit and miss showers.

:10:44.:10:47.

Later in the day, if you catch one of the show was, they could well be

:10:48.:10:51.

heavy and sundry with temperatures getting to around 18 or 19 degrees

:10:52.:10:56.

so similar to today but feeling more humid. During most daylight hours,

:10:57.:11:02.

rain overnight into Sunday and then showers.

:11:03.:11:02.

We want to see the economy work for everybody, not

:11:03.:11:06.

Now the weather. , yes a humid dead. We have had

:11:07.:11:09.

photographs of the Now, humid air is coming in hyped.

:11:10.:11:43.

This cloud will be spreading northwards bringing rain and

:11:44.:11:45.

showers. More cloud will head our way. Yes, more rain to come across

:11:46.:11:49.

the south-east over night

:11:50.:11:50.
