surrounded by his family A week ago Kumbuka was the reason | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
visitors were locked up and armed The 29 stone gorilla had escaped out | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
of his den into a staff only area. Luckily the keeper who found him | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
knew him well enough to keep calm. Kumbuka pottered out of a door that | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
had not been secured. The keeper just turned to Kumbuka, | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
started chatting calmly, calm down Buki, everything's fine, | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
just as normal, no problem. At that point, Kumbuka was just | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
exploring the environment. And just pottered in to a store room | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
next to his dens and was quite He did take five litres | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
of blackcurrant squash but he's a big lad, 29 stone gorilla, | :00:42. | :00:46. | |

the public were never in any danger. Thirst satisfied, Kumbuka | :00:50. | :00:57. | |

London Zoo. Good evening everyone, the weather | :00:59. | :01:19. | |
are stuck in repeat at the moment but like a classic BBC comedy with | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
scenes like this we will take it every day won't we? Unfortunately it | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
does look as though we have seen quite a bit more cloud further east, | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
yet again the winds whipping up the sea and some threatening looking | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
skies earlier this afternoon in Norfolk, that is where we have seen | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
a cluster of showers from East Anglia and moving down into the | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
south-east. Those showers will continue to ease through this | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
evening and overnight, dying back to North Sea coasts. Further west, | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
clear skies, at this time of year temperatures will fall away we could | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
see a touch of frost in the countryside as temperatures reach | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
freezing. We could start with mist and fog patches which will slowly | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
lift away and we will see a good slice of sunshine for many of us yet | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
again. A few sharp showers across East Anglia and the south-east which | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
will hopefully be is and the risk of a few nuisance showers up to the far | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
north-west of Scotland. Add on the strength of the winds, temperatures | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
are little on the subdued side, 11-14d. Little change into the | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
weekend, we keep some sunny spells, there will be early fog and frost | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
around. There's not going to be that much in the way of change, winds | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
will start to strengthen down into the South West with the threat of | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
this area of low pressure bringing rain to the south-west by the end of | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
the weekend but generally speaking if you have outdoor plans I don t | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
think you will be too disappointed. A good deal of usable weather out | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
there. Largely dry and sunny at times but the temperatures will | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
struggle from time to time. Enjoy if you can. | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
There are a lot of angry people The - so it's goodbye from me - | :03:03. | :03:27. | |
There are a lot of angry people The do not gear. We will look at the | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
background to this decision. Also on the programme - | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
a murder investigation begins after a father | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
and his eight-year-old daughter die Tens of thousands of people have | :03:41. | :03:53. | |
flocked to the ?165 million Victoria Gate development. It is the number | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
three retail development in the UK. But traders at the market across the | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
road said business has suffdred Join me for the detailed we`ther | :04:06. | :04:06. | |
forecast. Their headline we have just shown | :04:07. | :04:26. | |
you gives you some idea of the passion on display in Huddersfield | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
throughout the course of thd day. This afternoon's meeting was held in | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
an interesting location. It is midway between Huddersfield and | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
Halifax. The travel idea is part of the problem as well. The medting was | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
lightly. Both organisations who run Huddersfield and Calderdale | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
hospitals voted unanimously for Huddersfield to lose its A status | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
and much more. We will be hdaring from the protesters who say they | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
will continue their fight and from the local MP Jason McCartnex. We | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
will try to explain the implications for the local community. Whx was the | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
decision taken? The local NHS painting that without changd | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
services will become unsafe. If you facts behind that statement. The | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
number of patients dying in their hospitals is higher than thd average | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
in England. They struggle to recruit staff to meet national guiddlines, | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
especially in A Without change the trust would face a deficit of | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
nearly ?30 million. The public consultation found that 80% of | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
people in Huddersfield thought they had been negatively affected. The | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
body representing front-lind GPs has rejected the proposals on grounds of | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
cost and safety. The report by local authorities identified 19 kdy areas | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
where information is needed. Let us interpret all of us and also look at | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
today's events through the dyes of our health correspondent. Ddcision | :06:02. | :06:15. | |
day and a now familiar chant to the Howard. I am very angry abott it. I | :06:16. | :06:26. | |
hope the change their mind. If they do not change their mind I will | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
carry on the fight. Local pdople realise because of the bottlenecks | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
on the motorway and the byp`ss that there will be fatalities at this | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
goes ahead. At two o'clock the meeting began that they werd not | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
able to film inside. The live stream of the meeting picked up thd | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
frequent interruptions demonstrating the emotionally charged atmosphere. | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
Shall I continue or wait for a quiet. The two hospitals ard five | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
miles apart and currently provide a wide range of services. Unddr the | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
plans Calderdale Royal Hosphtal would become the centre for | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
emergency care including A, and the specialist department for sick | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
children. Huddersfield Royal Infirmary would be demolishdd, | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
replaced by a smaller hospital to deal with Plantier like routine | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
surgery, day cases, and diagnostics. Off centres would have urgent care | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
centres. The plans have been controversial. The NHS has `lways | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
maintained their proposal as the best option to deliver patidnt care | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
and affordability that they have been fiercely criticised by | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
campaigners, local MPs, and front-line GPs over safety `nd cost. | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
In favour of the recommendations, please raise your hands. At half | :07:45. | :07:53. | |
past three, to cries of shale, the commissioning group for a C`lderdale | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
and then a greater Huddersfheld sported unanimously to move the | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
plans forward and develop in greater detail what is called the ftll | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
business case. Neither of these hospitals `re what | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
people believe them to be. They are not fully staffed district general | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
hospitals. They have half the services in one town and half the | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
services and the other. By putting every special together in the same | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
hospital as will mean that hf you are very dangerously ill people to | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
save you will be there. This Dr represents local MPs -- GPs. If they | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
continue not to listen to the membership and the public wd will be | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
seeking a vote of no confiddnce from our members. It is going to cost | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
lives. They might as well btild more cemeteries and be done that. Should | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
all resign. Yes. Today's decision means the plans move forward. The | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
campaigners have already sahd the fight carries on. | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
Then a natural the plan is to demolish Huddersfield Royal | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
Infirmary and centralised elergency care at Calderdale Royal Hospital. | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
One of the architects of thd plan is BGP in Huddersfield. He is the cheer | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
of the greater Huddersfield clinical commissioning group. I asked him a | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
couple of hours ago if thesd plans actually put lives at risk? I do not | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
think the threat to people's lives would be worse and that was the case | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
he would not be doing it. These proposals are designed to s`ve lives | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
by offering higher quality care in an emergency centre that is staffed | :09:32. | :09:41. | |
24 - seven. Not for that re`son some people say, financial decishons I | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
would agree this is financi`l, we have to live within our means. We | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
have the PFI hospital and cost the deal -- at Calderdale. Yet xou need | :09:50. | :09:58. | |
?291 million to bring about this transformation. It is a gamble going | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
to the Government cap in hand saying, can I have ?300 million | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
Yes, it is a gamble, but it is a gamble ready to take becausd if we | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
carry on we will have not only a healthy economy was to ?30 lillion | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
per year but also ones have few problems with safety. What what | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
about that safety issue? We are talking about the travel tile from | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
Huddersfield to Halifax and that terrible roads. The transport | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
problem is a major one is it? We have heard that light and clear from | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
the people that this is a m`jor problem. We have been working with | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
the Ambulance Service and whll continue to work with them. They are | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
sure that they will get the ambulances through and we do know | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
there are going to be improvements to the Lord as well. That'll only | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
benefit this model. You are a GP and is there to say that most GPs in | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
Huddersfield think this is not the right move to take? There are also a | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
great number that go along with that as well. I have spoken to over 00 | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
of our local Huddersfield GPs to explain these proposals and the | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
majority of them do underst`nd. How do you react to that media lade it | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
quite clear about the way that she felt. She said what you need to do | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
now is build more cemeteries. That is a damning indictment of the | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
decision taken by people who say they have got the best interests of | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
the people of Huddersfield `t heart. This is not about people dyhng | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
because they cannot get the clear. Our hospitals struggle even now Our | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
proposals are for higher qu`lity and safer clear. The idea is fewer | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
people will die soon we will need less cemeteries. I enjoyed by Jason | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
McCartney, this is the heart of your constituency, when the meethng | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
started you looks to me as hf you were quite confident it would go the | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
way you wanted to? Yes, you were there, and we were hearing `ll these | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
big concerns about ambulancd times, travel times, what an urgent care | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
centre would be, how they would find the money to increase the shze of | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
Calderdale, and suddenly thdy came to this conclusion to continue with | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
the plans. And the fourth closed unanimously for it and as you saw, | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
people felt distraught and leg bone. What is there one thing that annoys | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
you about this decision? It is the fact they are not considered all the | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
options. In your introduction you thought of it concerns about | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
staffing and mortality rates. Let us look at all the options. Invest in | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
the two sites. Invest in new consultants. At this plan w`nts to | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
go ahead it will require a cash injection of ?291 million to pay for | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
the new hospital. Surely th`t's about the money would better | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
invested in this current wonderful hospital. That's what a lot -- that | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
is what a lot of local GPs say. What is the focus of your attenthon now? | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
I have already spoken to thd cheer of the local scrutiny committee | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
They have 19 concerns. They have not been answered. I hope as thdy would | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
get then they will repair to The Independent review panel and | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
eventually it will go on to the Secretary of State. We have had a | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
bad day today but this fight is not over. It does not make sensd. I does | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
not say stop their money is better for it. The battle to maint`in | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
front-line emergency servicds has been a ferocious well at tiles. We | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
look back at its short history. Huddersfield or Halifax? Two very | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
similar towns but for the l`st two years the prospect of then shearling | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
eh Andy has wounds on the horizon. 2014 at the click it would be | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
Huddersfield would retain its facilities. Campaigners marched to | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
the Royal Infirmary to make the point that this would be a long way | :13:47. | :13:56. | |
from an a and E bed. One ye`r later the unexpected proposal to retain a | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
and Halifax was Mac new hospital. Now it was Huddersfield people | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
rooted to the streets. The lead A consultant for both hospitals said | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
he thought the idea makes sdnse I would not support these changes as I | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
did not think they would be better for the people of Huddersfidld and | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
Halifax. I cannot be guarantees in individual patients but as ` service | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
that will be a higher quality and safer service. Angry public meetings | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
where held and a campaigner who owed his life to Huddersfield Roxal | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
Infirmary emerged. He survived a heart attack after collapsing close | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
to the hospital last night on a run. I should have died. I got the new | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
medical man for a reason. One of the things was the location of the | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
hospital in my case. Specifhcally so close to where my incident happened | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
and where I collapsed. Todax's announcement brings an end to the | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
consultation stage but many will feel their voices have gone unheard. | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
There was plenty of passion on display at that meeting this | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
afternoon. Does this mean that that is the first step towards that the | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
situation behind as not existing anymore? | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
Let us be clear about what happens today. It was a big decision that | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
does not mean that the bulldozers are going to come and next week | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
What they have to do this btt this out for a full business casd. They | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
will look in minute detail `t putting these plans into pl`ce and | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
that it is possible. That could take around six months or so. Evdn at | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
that point. It would have to be agreed further down the lind. | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
Meanwhile the local authority does still have the option to refer this | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
matter to the Health Secret`ry Jeremy Hunt if they are not | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
satisfied. They are meeting in the middle of November to decidd the | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
next debts. At the same timd the campaigners who we have been talking | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
to today say they are taking legal advice with a view to taking this to | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
judicial review. We are one stage closer perhaps to a big change in | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
the way local hospital servhces are provided but the overall fight is by | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
no means over. The passion that has been onshore, a lot of people are so | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
angry and upset about this, apparently? It is extraordinary You | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
can never make any big changes to hospital services without a lot of | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
emotion and controversy. It is fair to say what we have seen in | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
Huddersfield at the plans ptt forward proves that. It has been | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
impassioned. That is the update from Huddersfield Royal Infirmarx. It is | :16:44. | :16:44. | |
a story which is not over ydt. In other news, police believe that | :16:45. | :16:54. | |
a fire which caused the death of eight-year-old Kiera Bro`dhead | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
and her father, Andrew, Kiera's sister and mother, | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
Sara, were treated in The faces of Andrew Broadhe`d and | :16:59. | :17:17. | |
his eight-year-old daughter, killed in a house fire yesterday. To date | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
detectives revealed they had been murdered. It has been established | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
that the fire began in the front entrance porch to the property. The | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
blaze took hold quickly. Thdy think something like petrol has bden | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
ported a letterbox. It was ` ferocious fire. It's that anybody | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
who has been involved in setting fire to the house could havd | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
significant burn injuries or burnt clothing. If anybody has anx of | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
those injuries you must comd forward and tell us. Fire investigators and | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
police officers were visiting homes in the area checking CCTV and | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
looking for anything of intdrest that may have been thrown into bins | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
and guidance. Kiera Broadhe`d's mother and older sister werd also in | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
the house that managed to escape. We are helping them get through what | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
must be each Matic ordeal for them. As the tributes and flowers outside | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
the house continue to grow ht is still not clear why somebodx would | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
want to target the family, setting fire to their home in the mhddle of | :18:21. | :18:24. | |

than three years ago. Huddersfield Town went down | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
to a second successive leagte defeat with a rather meek performance | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
to lose 3-1 at Preston. There was better news | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
for Sheffield Wednesday who came from a goal down - | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
to draw 1-1 at Cardiff. Daniel Pudil got the goal that moves | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
the Owls up to sixth. More than 8,000 people came | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
through the doors of Leeds' brand new shopping centre | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
in the first hour of business as Victoria Gate | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
opened to the public. Our business correspondent Danni | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
Hewson is there. This place is still absolutdly | :20:04. | :20:22. | |
bustling this evening. 88,000 people have come through the doors of | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
Victoria Gate since it opendd this morning. To give you some context | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
and hundred and 30,000 people came to the opening of Trinity a couple | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
of years ago. But this is a smaller though no less hotly anticipated | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
particularly because it has brought John Lewis to the city. Thex first | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
looked for a venue in Leeds in 998 and now they have found a home in | :20:45. | :20:45. | |
Victoria Gate. Few shopping centres have bden | :20:46. | :20:55. | |
as anticipated as this one and eager shoppers had to sht | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
through an elaborate opening ceremony before they were fhnally | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
allowed through the doors Economically, this is big ndws | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
for the city and it pushes Leeds up the retail rankings to numbdr three | :21:02. | :21:09. | |
behind London and Manchester shopping and it is the only major | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
scheme to open anywhere It is transporting you back | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
to a different time The difference between this | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
side and the other side, because we tend to go to thd market, | :21:24. | :21:34. | |
the difference between that shows the quality of life | :21:35. | :21:45. | |
of different people. Finishing right up to the l`st hour | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
which brought disruption The question is, what will | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
the impact be going forward? It brings people back into this | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
rather redundant part of thd city. It was a redundant car | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
park and police station. We have turned it into a pl`ce that | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
all people of Leeds will be proud of working with the markets | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
and we will bring more people The long-awaited arrival | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
of John Lewis has pulled It is hard to find sites th`t'll | :22:11. | :22:30. | |
hold a John Lewis and this hs perfect. The time is right for us to | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
come to Leeds. High end, new brands, it has created jobs in construction | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
and stores that some have qtestioned if the city is too focused on | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
consumerism which meat lies some of its inhabitants that is somdthing | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
the council have got to think hard about. Have they got strategies | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
about employments to come into the city to make sure the peopld of | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
Leeds have the money to spend in these drastic stores. It is a fair | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
challenge. We want people to come and put money into the economy. Jury | :23:09. | :23:22. | |
off the tee. Thousands to d`y - curiosity brought thousands today. | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
One part of Leeds which has already suffered there is currently markets. | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
Once a bustling centre in the heart of Leeds but traders at Kirkgate | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
market say footfall is down, stores are empty and business | :23:44. | :23:45. | |
This is my family's livelihood and it has been all my life | :23:46. | :23:56. | |
so to see their business and my family's business struggling | :23:57. | :24:06. | |
the way it has, that is really disheartening. | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
Since building work started on John Lewis, short-term p`rking | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
has been restricted and the view of the market blocked. | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
You get in from that side of town, you know, they have | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
Meanwhile the council's ?12 million plan to refurbish the space | :24:19. | :24:27. | |
I think the state of the market is not in good repair. | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
As we look above us now, we can see scaffolding. | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
We actually had a promise that this would be ready before | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
Leeds City Council say that whilst they recognise | :24:37. | :24:45. | |
the short-term impact, in the long-term, the | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
improvements will help retahn the market as a really great place | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
and they say they have agredd to increase the current discount | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
in rent from 20% to 55% until the end of October and say | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
the traders are the lifeblood of Kirkgate market. | :24:57. | :24:58. | |
But many of those traders think the council's offer | :24:59. | :25:00. | |
There is the brand-new John Lewis. There is the market on this site. | :25:01. | :25:12. | |
Businesses like this fish and chip shops that have been sufferhng since | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
this development started. 30 to 35% down on the use ago. It was a great | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
business. It is now an aver`ge business. The hope is that John | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
Lewis will inject life back into the area but traders are sceptical and | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
think it will need more than a new neighbour to see this market. | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
Someone who can answer many of these questions is the leader of Leeds | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
council. A lot of concern from the markets. What are you doing to help? | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
Worst of all, fantastic opening today, but this has not comd from | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
any rare, this was the result of partnerships built over the years. | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
The local community have bedn central to this scheme. Turkey | :25:59. | :26:08. | |
market is the jewel in the offer. -- Kirk Gate market. They are | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
neighbours of a fantastic development and that has bedn tough. | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
There are so many ways to come together. One of the objectors has | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
been to increase the footfall bowing to this part of the city th`t quite | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
frankly has been neglected. Will people who come and shop in a | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
development like this, he and stores, really go to the markets? | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
Yes, there is a tradition of people shop in places like this but | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
actually want that traditional, local real flavour, natural foods | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
and other things that the m`rket has to offer. We have two pick this up | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
now and move on and make sure that those opportunities are takhng | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
advantage of. We will do evdrything we can as a council to assist in | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
that process. Great news for retail in Leeds. What about other `reas of | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
employments, other jobs to keep people shopping here? Exactly and | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
Leeds is financial legal capital of the north if you like. We h`ve got | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
massive interest and investlent coming into the South bank `nd one | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
of the reasons businesses w`nt to be what is the quality of life, the | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
quality of the retail offer, the theatres, that is a massive pool | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
farads. We have to keep working to make sure that Leeds contintes to | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
become the most stunning city in the north of the country. Developments | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
like this make it attractivd. We have got national recognition for | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
the work we are doing here. We want more people to come in and hnvest. | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
It has been buzzing. The trhck is to keep the buzzing. We will kdep an | :27:47. | :27:54. | |
eye on those inflation figures. Lots of people out and about in | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
Leeds today. Obviously a very sunny day. More of the same over the next | :27:59. | :28:07. | |
few days. Quite an unusual setup. A run of the steelies predominating | :28:08. | :28:09. | |
through the month is quite something. A couple of picttres | :28:10. | :28:21. | |
Very moody skies. Quite heavy showers. Keep those pictures coming | :28:22. | :28:32. | |
end. Tomorrow a ridge of high pressure means it is settled. A | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
small chance of catching a shower. Saturday sees the north easterly is | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
drifting back in. Jet streal going through Spain and Portugal where it | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
will be wet. This situation will last well into next week. S`tellite | :28:48. | :28:53. | |
picture shows lines of showdrs that have been feeding and from the | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
north-east. They have been very slow moving. That line of showers across | :28:58. | :29:04. | |
the Yorkshire deals right now. One or two isolated showers further | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
East. Otherwise many of ours will be dry. Cloud inching in from the West | :29:10. | :29:17. | |
later tonight should prevent any frost problems. | :29:18. | :29:38. | |
A quiet start to the day. A veil of cloud in the West. That is the way | :29:39. | :29:49. | |
of it for match of the day. Dry and bright. A small chance of c`tching a | :29:50. | :29:56. | |
light shower. The emphasis hs on a good deal of dry weather. Top | :29:57. | :30:03. | |
afternoon temperatures. The disease in the north. He is of 12 or 13 | :30:04. | :30:14. | |
degrees. Friday evening shotld be fine with clear spells. It hs dry on | :30:15. | :30:19. | |
Friday night. The weekends, more of the same. More of a breeze | :30:20. | :30:25. | |
developing through Sunday and into Monday. A weekend of variable cloud. | :30:26. | :30:29. | |
The risk of one or two showdrs. The best of the weather in the West | :30:30. | :30:33. | |
more showers further East. That is the forecast. So it is | :30:34. | :30:39. | |
window shopping for you bec`use you do not like to spend money? | :30:40. | :30:43. | |
I do not like spending monex, I will be avoiding the place like the | :30:44. | :30:47. | |
plague. That is offer now. Goodbye. | :30:48. | :30:51. |
