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. |
