On the programme tonight: The nursery owners who say

:00:00.:00:08.

they face financial ruin, if the government forces thdm

:00:09.:00:10.

The government want us to provide Champagne industries termin`te

:00:11.:00:18.

costs. We'll ask how plans

:00:19.:00:23.

for extending free childcard - Also tonight: Yorkshire MEP

:00:24.:00:25.

Mike Hookem reported to French police for his altercation

:00:26.:00:28.

with a UKIP colleague Protests in Barnsley over government

:00:29.:00:30.

cuts which could hit dozens We all know Sheffield is thd home of

:00:31.:00:45.

football but tonight it might just be its future.

:00:46.:00:52.

How long will this finance `ddled autumnal weather last? Join me and

:00:53.:00:53.

you will find out. First tonight, nurseries

:00:54.:01:04.

in Yorkshire say they're facing financial ruin -

:01:05.:01:08.

if government plans - to make them provide 30 hours

:01:09.:01:09.

of free childcare - go ahead. York is one of eight places

:01:10.:01:12.

across the country where parents can claim 30 hours of free care

:01:13.:01:15.

for three and four year olds - that's double what's

:01:16.:01:18.

on offer elsewhere. But nursery bosses say the loney

:01:19.:01:20.

they get doesn't cover costs. It's a busy day for Alex buhlding

:01:21.:01:35.

his next empire but for mum, Joanne, 30 hours of free childcare has

:01:36.:01:41.

changed her life. Prior to the funding kicking in, it costs us in

:01:42.:01:46.

excess of ?400 a month. That has reduced to ?85 a month. The impact

:01:47.:01:53.

of that is immeasurable. At the moment, all parents can clahm 1

:01:54.:01:58.

hours of free childcare week. In York, there are nearly 200 nurseries

:01:59.:02:02.

offering parents 30 hours of free care and a big percentage of parents

:02:03.:02:08.

are taking up that offer. 80% at the moment overall in York. The uptake

:02:09.:02:13.

is huge. Parents are coming through the doors. Parents across the whole

:02:14.:02:20.

of Yorkshire will get the s`me offer in 2017. Under current plans, many

:02:21.:02:26.

sued -- Nursery so they will be financially ruined. They cost of

:02:27.:02:28.

looking after this child... The government wants us to provide

:02:29.:02:40.

champagne nurseries for lemonade costs, if you like. We are the party

:02:41.:02:47.

of the working people. We are. Working people. Parents everywhere,

:02:48.:02:55.

including here in Harrogate, are delighted with the idea. Like every

:02:56.:03:01.

parent, I think I was elated at the prospect of getting twice the amount

:03:02.:03:05.

of free childcare available to us. His policy isn't actually about

:03:06.:03:09.

children. What it's about is parents and getting more parents back into

:03:10.:03:17.

the workplace, especially mothers. There are over 160,000 people in

:03:18.:03:21.

Yorkshire who are not working because they are looking after a

:03:22.:03:26.

family. These people are described as being economically inacthve and

:03:27.:03:30.

the government wants to change that. 53 nursery providers in Harrogate,

:03:31.:03:36.

say as things stand, they c`nnot afford to offer parents 30 hours of

:03:37.:03:41.

free childcare. The problem for us as we are already in a loss,making

:03:42.:03:47.

situation. We managed to find a way round that at the moment. Once you

:03:48.:03:50.

move to September and they doubled the hours, we go bust. It's very

:03:51.:03:57.

simple. The government says it's investing ?6 billion in childcare

:03:58.:04:01.

and that it has boosted the amount... Come 2017, there could

:04:02.:04:07.

well be parents in Yorkshird who cannot provide -- find inithally.

:04:08.:04:12.

Claire Schofield is from the National Day Nurseries

:04:13.:04:14.

She says the pilot scheme could tip some businesses over the edge.

:04:15.:04:23.

We really do not want to sed that happen. What we want is for the

:04:24.:04:28.

government to act now to make sure nurseries can take part so we don't

:04:29.:04:34.

have to face that situation. They are ready and able to do th`t but

:04:35.:04:38.

they need the right funding and the right conditions to work under to

:04:39.:04:40.

make sure they can offer those places. Some parents say chhldcare

:04:41.:04:46.

should be free and it shouldn't be about people making a profit. What

:04:47.:04:50.

do you say to them? We are talking about high-quality early le`rning

:04:51.:04:55.

and childcare which makes it a difference to children's future We

:04:56.:04:59.

need the right investment trust is not about profit. It's about making

:05:00.:05:03.

sure that when nurseries ard providing these hours, for the

:05:04.:05:07.

government under a funded offer their costs are properly covered.

:05:08.:05:13.

You are asking for more mondy but isn't there something the ntrseries

:05:14.:05:16.

themselves could do to make it more affordable? We said there are two

:05:17.:05:21.

options. They could put mord money in to make sure all the costs are

:05:22.:05:25.

covered. We know that is very difficult economic climate. The

:05:26.:05:30.

other option would be to allow parents to pay extra charges, so use

:05:31.:05:35.

a funded contribution from government as just that, a

:05:36.:05:38.

contribution, and allow pardnts to pay for the extras are the chosen

:05:39.:05:42.

choice of nursery. So they have the option to get the kind of childcare

:05:43.:05:45.

they want for their child, that gives them the support they need.

:05:46.:05:51.

Not everyone is going to be able to afford them. What is the worst case

:05:52.:05:56.

scenario? For most parents, we are talking about a small contrhbution

:05:57.:06:00.

and we have to remember, those other help with childcare coming hn next

:06:01.:06:05.

year so parents can get child.. They will get 20% off the costs of

:06:06.:06:11.

extras. We don't want to sed any worse case scenario. We havd over 1

:06:12.:06:16.

million nurseries in -- children in nurseries across the UK. We think we

:06:17.:06:23.

are a year away from this h`ppening. All...

:06:24.:06:26.

French police have been askdd to investigate an altercation

:06:27.:06:28.

involving a Yorkshire MEP at the European Parliament

:06:29.:06:30.

An internal investigation bx UKIP today resulted in Mike Hookdm

:06:31.:06:34.

being given a "formal repriland following a clash with fellow MEP

:06:35.:06:37.

But the report found he was NOT the instigator.

:06:38.:06:47.

Here's our Political Correspondent Tim Iredale.

:06:48.:06:51.

It's still not clear exactlx what happened in that heated exchange at

:06:52.:06:57.

the European Parliament in Strasbourg almost three weeks ago.

:06:58.:07:03.

MEP Stephen Wolf spent thred nights in hospital after collapsing on the

:07:04.:07:08.

day the altercation took pl`ce. Yorkshire and Humber MEP has

:07:09.:07:12.

admitted there was a scuffld but has denied punching him. I never hit

:07:13.:07:22.

him, simple as. The party chairman today said he considered suspending

:07:23.:07:28.

him but decided to issue a formal reprimand because he was satisfied.

:07:29.:07:35.

One thing I am duty of is r`ising to the bait and going into that room. I

:07:36.:07:38.

should not have done that and I apologise. Today, the president of

:07:39.:07:46.

the UPM parliament Martin Schultz called for an investigation by

:07:47.:07:50.

French police because of wh`t he claimed were the serious and

:07:51.:07:53.

possible criminal implications. The committee found that accounts

:07:54.:07:58.

between the two men diverged substantially. Mr Schultz s`id

:07:59.:08:02.

medical reports suggested Stephen Wolf had suffered a blow to the

:08:03.:08:07.

head. But Mike Hick has hit back. He accuses the president of thd

:08:08.:08:11.

European Parliament of baking defamatory statements which falsely

:08:12.:08:15.

claim he punched Stephen Wolf. He also claims his accusations wouldn't

:08:16.:08:20.

have been made without the legal immunity the European Parli`ment

:08:21.:08:26.

offers. Any French investig`tion I will welcome because it will once

:08:27.:08:30.

again prove I'm innocent. Stephen Wolf once seen as a rising star in

:08:31.:08:34.

Ukip and possible leadership contender has now left the party but

:08:35.:08:40.

still sits as an MEP. It is now down to the French authorities to decide

:08:41.:08:41.

whether anyone has a case to answer. Next tonight, researchers in Leeds

:08:42.:08:45.

are leading the way in trying to stop people developing

:08:46.:08:47.

a potentially life-threatenhng condition, where the immune

:08:48.:08:49.

system attacks the body. It's thought that up to 1,500 people

:08:50.:08:51.

in Yorkshire have Lupus. Most sufferers are women

:08:52.:08:55.

and If you're black or Chindse you're three times more

:08:56.:08:57.

likely to develop it. Shirley Henry's been to meet one mum

:08:58.:09:01.

who feared she'd never have children Precious time with Amelia. Her mum

:09:02.:09:18.

Rachel feared she'd never h`ve children because of a defect in her

:09:19.:09:24.

immune system known as lupus. I always knew potentially I w`nt to

:09:25.:09:29.

have a child one day. A lot of the treatments, you can't be prdgnant on

:09:30.:09:34.

them. For her to be here, it's a really big deal. I didn't think she

:09:35.:09:39.

would be. Lupus is one the hmmune system attacks organs. Its severity

:09:40.:09:50.

varies and it can be life-threatening. Researchers at

:09:51.:10:00.

Leeds hospitals no longer w`nt to just treat the condition but they

:10:01.:10:05.

aim to identify people at rhsk long before the symptoms shown. The idea

:10:06.:10:11.

of being able to detect lupts before it happens and prevent the disease

:10:12.:10:15.

from even occurring is in some ways like the holy grail of rese`rch One

:10:16.:10:22.

of the biggest problems facdd by doctors is diagnosing lupus because

:10:23.:10:27.

the condition mimics that of other diseases. A key part of the work

:10:28.:10:34.

here is raising public awardness. Patients and researchers have come

:10:35.:10:40.

together to share their expdrience. Include 29-year-old Alexandria. The

:10:41.:10:43.

top doctors seven years to diagnose her condition. Looking at md, you

:10:44.:10:51.

wouldn't be able to tell th`t I ve got lupus and it would help other

:10:52.:10:55.

people that I've got it to lake everybody aware of what lupts is and

:10:56.:11:04.

how it affects us. There is no cure but frequent monitoring means it can

:11:05.:11:09.

be controlled. It's terrifyhng when you know you are being diagnosed

:11:10.:11:12.

with a lifelong condition btt you can't do all the things you

:11:13.:11:27.

Pharmacists and patients have been protesting in Barnsley todax over

:11:28.:11:55.

fears that nationwide funding cuts of two hundred million pounds

:11:56.:11:58.

could threaten the future of community chemists.

:11:59.:12:02.

The protest was organised bx the Barnsley East MP Michael Dugher.

:12:03.:12:05.

He says more than three hundred pharmacies could face

:12:06.:12:07.

The government says the movd will provide the public

:12:08.:12:13.

Them just clear. This community needs its pharmacy. And will fight

:12:14.:12:30.

to protect it from hundreds of thousands of pounds of government

:12:31.:12:35.

cuts over the next two years. It's so important to have a local

:12:36.:12:41.

chemist, not to have to go hnto town. We're going in the tests. I

:12:42.:12:47.

have diabetes. The local colmunities do need one. If they stop it, it's

:12:48.:12:52.

going to be really hard on the infirm to get to a chemist. Around

:12:53.:12:57.

60 people walk through thesd doors every day. It's what's known as a

:12:58.:13:02.

community pharmacy which me`ns it gets the majority of its funding

:13:03.:13:06.

from the government. Patients from all ages come to us for advhce. With

:13:07.:13:13.

this cut, pharmacists will have to look at our service level, our

:13:14.:13:18.

opening hours and our staffhng level. Some pharmacists might not be

:13:19.:13:24.

viable and might have to close. That would be a great loss to thd

:13:25.:13:27.

community and it would only mean more pressure for the GP services

:13:28.:13:34.

and accident and emergency. This is a lifeline for many people. The

:13:35.:13:39.

local MP says 35 of the 42 pharmacies in Barnsley could be

:13:40.:13:45.

deeply affected by government cuts. Last time it was reviewed w`s ten

:13:46.:13:50.

years ago. Surely it is timd for that budget to be reviewed. I'm

:13:51.:13:54.

happy for the government to review that budget. We should be t`lking

:13:55.:13:58.

about how we can improve thd situation. It's not about bding

:13:59.:14:02.

against change but it's agahnst being against a reckless cut that's

:14:03.:14:06.

going to see hundreds or thousands of pharmacies close. It will make

:14:07.:14:12.

the crisis in the NHS even worse. The Department of Health sahd the

:14:13.:14:16.

cuts are part of a modernis`tion package that will transform how

:14:17.:14:21.

pharmacists and their teams operate, ensuring the public receives the

:14:22.:14:23.

very best care in places thdy needed. But these people thhnk that

:14:24.:14:26.

is just what they will lose. A man has appeared in court charged

:14:27.:14:31.

with the murders of a father and daughter who were killed

:14:32.:14:34.

in a house fire in Wakefield. Andrew Broadhead and his

:14:35.:14:36.

eight-year-old daughter, Kidra, died in a fire at their homd

fundraising drive that aims to get youngsters to complete a series

of gymnastic challenges. Today's event took place -

:15:38.:15:39.

rather appropriately - Football now and Leeds Unitdd

:15:40.:15:42.

are into the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup - the compethtion

:15:43.:15:48.

formerly known as the Leagud Cup. It took some penalty shoot-out

:15:49.:15:52.

heroics for them to overcomd fellow Championship side Norwich,

:15:53.:15:55.

as Alasdair Gill reports. Leeds United solitary Leagud Cup

:15:56.:16:07.

tramp is beyond the memory of most fans but there was a reminddr last

:16:08.:16:13.

night. It round of applause for the goalkeeper who kept a clean sheet in

:16:14.:16:17.

the final and who died last week. He would have been impressed bx this

:16:18.:16:22.

early stop from Marcus vestry, the first of an eventful evening for the

:16:23.:16:27.

Italian. Porridge took the lead through Alex Prichard. This goal was

:16:28.:16:35.

unsurprisingly ruled out for the less than subtle handball. But the

:16:36.:16:38.

tap levelled things before half-time. Leeds would face extra

:16:39.:16:50.

time with ten men. Worse was to follow. Norwich moved back hn front

:16:51.:16:53.

and the ten men of Leeds were in trouble. Chris Woods swept home to

:16:54.:17:01.

take the game to penalty. Step forward Marcus vestry. Leeds are in

:17:02.:17:12.

control. A new hero between the sticks. It doesn't feel likd a 968

:17:13.:17:14.

just yet but Leeds march on. And we hope to be able to bring

:17:15.:17:21.

you news of who Leeds will face in the quarter finals of thd EFL Cup

:17:22.:17:25.

in our late bulletin as part of the news at ten Well

:17:26.:17:28.

Cup winning performances don't come easy and world class players need

:17:29.:17:31.

time and investment - so the launch of a scheme to boost

:17:32.:17:33.

grassroots football in Sheffield today has been welcomed

:17:34.:17:36.

with open arms. The Football Association's two

:17:37.:17:38.

hundred million pound - Parklife project -

:17:39.:17:40.

will see thirty NEW all-weather facilities built across England -

:17:41.:17:42.

with better access to coachhng. James Vincent is at the first

:17:43.:17:44.

of them at St Georges Welcome to Saint Georges Park in

:17:45.:18:11.

Sheffield. Not bad at all. Lots of other people can play. Lots of

:18:12.:18:14.

junior teams will be using them first. It's open to the public as

:18:15.:18:19.

well. Lots of investment. It officially opened today. Shdffield

:18:20.:18:23.

is the home of football but it might be its future as well. This is the

:18:24.:18:35.

FA's Causey video for Saint Georges Park in Sheffield and we all know

:18:36.:18:38.

that Sunday league football and its pitches in this city are anxthing

:18:39.:18:42.

but Grossi. That is one of the reasons why the FA has put hts first

:18:43.:18:49.

football hub here. This used to be old grass pitches that went to rack

:18:50.:18:53.

and ruin. Over the years, councils have had less money. Football needs

:18:54.:19:01.

to step in. What you are seding here you can repeat 10,000 times over the

:19:02.:19:06.

country. That is the plan. ?200 million is being spent across the

:19:07.:19:10.

country. Sheffield is first and the council have chipped in as well The

:19:11.:19:18.

kids absolutely love it. It's much better than before. The kids

:19:19.:19:26.

absolutely love it. They ard getting full seasons. This is our sdcond

:19:27.:19:31.

season so last year, the amount of games called off due to the weather,

:19:32.:19:35.

the state of the pitch. So inconsistent. The consistency is

:19:36.:19:40.

going to do that the world of good. Jack Matthews is happy the boots are

:19:41.:19:46.

finally on the pitch. Lots of planning meetings, looking `t

:19:47.:19:49.

drawings on pieces of paper. It s worth it. And it's something that

:19:50.:19:56.

Sheffield really needs. Absolutely. What we've created here is hub sites

:19:57.:20:05.

and the revenue generated from the higher of the Humberside will be

:20:06.:20:09.

invested back into the improvement of grass pitches across the city.

:20:10.:20:13.

But the poor's great and good to be here today. This is a place to play

:20:14.:20:30.

football. Why not? Why here? We used to play in the street. To sde a

:20:31.:20:35.

fantastic facility like this now, kids have everything now. P`rents

:20:36.:20:42.

will be happy to see the tr`ining in a safe environment. Brian Ddane

:20:43.:20:53.

there. He was here today. In the Bridgend football, I'll bring in

:20:54.:20:55.

joke from the centre. You'rd the manager here. These pictures mean

:20:56.:21:02.

they don't have to call of games. Absolutely. This is their home

:21:03.:21:09.

ground now. You are not can get waterlogged or snow. They whll be on

:21:10.:21:14.

the pitches and games will not be called off. It'll make a big

:21:15.:21:25.

difference. People can come and use the facility themselves. We have

:21:26.:21:33.

social bookings down here already. They are bigger than your average

:21:34.:21:40.

five aside pitches. We can get you in for five aside. How good is to

:21:41.:21:51.

see it finally opened? It's amazing. Just seeing all the kids, they've

:21:52.:21:55.

loved today. That's what it's all about. Getting kids involved. They

:21:56.:22:00.

are still here now. They've been here longer than me. They'vd loved

:22:01.:22:04.

it and that's what it's abott. Sheffield Council have put some

:22:05.:22:10.

money in as well. The whole point of that is that the money is rdinvested

:22:11.:22:19.

back into the pitches. Thosd pitches which are not so well maint`ined at

:22:20.:22:23.

the moment. I'll let you go back and have your tea.
