Good evening from Look North. One is at 10:30.

:00:07.:00:14.

Leeds Teaching Hospital's NHS Trust has made almost ?80,000

:00:15.:00:16.

in car parking fines over the last year, according to new figures.

:00:17.:00:19.

The data, gathered by the Press Association,

:00:20.:00:21.

asked 120 trusts across England to give figures

:00:22.:00:23.

Hospitals across the country are making more money than ever before

:00:24.:00:31.

from car park charges and they are also making money from

:00:32.:00:34.

Of the 27 NHS Trusts that responded to freedom of information

:00:35.:00:39.

requests, one of Yorkshire's Trusts was top of that list.

:00:40.:00:47.

Leeds Teaching Hospital's NHS Trust received over ?78,000

:00:48.:00:49.

Parking is always at a premium around a hospital

:00:50.:00:55.

is a case in point, right in the city centre.

:00:56.:00:59.

In fact, the Trust says it received over half of its fines

:01:00.:01:02.

If you pay to park all day it is ?100 per week.

:01:03.:01:16.

I think if you come to visit people who are ill in

:01:17.:01:20.

hospital or you have an appointment, sometimes you need a bit of

:01:21.:01:23.

Which is why we have parked a way away.

:01:24.:01:30.

If you are in labour for two days, you are

:01:31.:01:33.

going to end up being bankrupt with charges!

:01:34.:01:35.

Over the last four years, the Trust has received over ?400,000

:01:36.:01:39.

In a statement, Leeds Teaching Hospital's NHS Trust

:01:40.:01:51.

has told us that overall the Trust has over 5,000 car parking spaces,

:01:52.:01:54.

across six hospital sites, including

:01:55.:01:55.

We have over 1.6 million vehicles on site each year.

:01:56.:02:00.

These figures about income from parking fines we issue should be

:02:01.:02:02.

Hospital parking in Wales and Scotland is largely free

:02:03.:02:12.

but in England you do have to pay for it.

:02:13.:02:14.

The national charity the Patients' Association has said that is unfair.

:02:15.:02:19.

A 51-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder

:02:20.:02:22.

in Scarborough after another man was found dead.

:02:23.:02:25.

Police made the discovery at a house in St Johns Avenue last night.

:02:26.:02:29.

The victim, a local man in his 40s, was pronounced dead at the scene.

:02:30.:02:32.

One of two men arrested on suspicion of murder following a woman's death

:02:33.:02:39.

in Bradford has been released without charge.

:02:40.:02:40.

The woman, who's thought to be in her 30s,

:02:41.:02:43.

was found dead at an address in the Holmewood area

:02:44.:02:46.

A postmortem examination is due to take place today.

:02:47.:02:57.

A second man aged 42 remains in police custody.

:02:58.:03:01.

A 35-year-old man from Rotherham has been interviewed under caution

:03:02.:03:04.

following the death of a seven month old baby.

:03:05.:03:06.

The child died at a house in York, on the 3rd of November.

:03:07.:03:11.

Sheffield-based 'Playtime Beds' has issued a safety warning

:03:12.:03:12.

on its website stating that its made to measure beds could lead to risks

:03:13.:03:16.

of strangulation or crushing and shouldn't be used.

:03:17.:03:18.

Both Trading Standards and police are investigating.

:03:19.:03:19.

The infant's cause of death hasn't been confirmed.

:03:20.:03:25.

The body of 73-year-old man whose been missing for nearly

:03:26.:03:28.

a month has been found in a canal near Wakefield.

:03:29.:03:31.

William Metcalfe's body was discovered yesterday morning

:03:32.:03:33.

Anti-Fracking protestors have set up a camp in North Yorkshire

:03:34.:03:44.

near the site which is expected to be the first in the

:03:45.:03:47.

They say they'll use it as a base to stop lorries delivering equipment

:03:48.:03:53.

needed to build the new well head in the next few weeks.

:03:54.:03:56.

Our political editor Len Tingle reports.

:03:57.:04:02.

Today's roadside protests are, according to the anti-fractures,

:04:03.:04:04.

They have set up a camp a mile or so from the camp

:04:05.:04:09.

at Kirby Misperton north Yorkshire where

:04:10.:04:11.

planning permission has been granted to start the first commercial

:04:12.:04:13.

extraction of gas using the controversial technique of fracking.

:04:14.:04:15.

Failing everything we have tried in the last two years,

:04:16.:04:18.

It has come down to boots on the ground, direct action.

:04:19.:04:22.

We're hoping after Christmas many of our

:04:23.:04:25.

friends and community members will come to this big field

:04:26.:04:28.

where we're going to create a big camp that is

:04:29.:04:31.

going to stop this industry before it gets started.

:04:32.:04:33.

Gas has been extracted using conventional drilling on the same

:04:34.:04:36.

North Yorkshire County Council granted planning permission the same

:04:37.:04:43.

production company earlier this year to sink

:04:44.:04:46.

a new well alongside for fracking, pumping highly pressurised water

:04:47.:04:49.

and sand to free gas trapped deep underground in beds of shale.

:04:50.:04:54.

A last-ditch legal attempt to stop it by campaign

:04:55.:04:58.

groups on safety and environmental grounds was thrown out by the High

:04:59.:05:01.

The HGV traffic has to come this way and we will do

:05:02.:05:08.

our utmost to peacefully and slow walk the traffic making its way

:05:09.:05:11.

to be site and to make it as difficult as possible

:05:12.:05:14.

The gas production company Third Energy has

:05:15.:05:21.

maintained through two years of planning and legal processes that

:05:22.:05:23.

It says fracking poses no potential dangers

:05:24.:05:28.

and intends to start preparing for production in the near future.

:05:29.:05:30.

People here say they should not be called protesters,

:05:31.:05:32.

they are protectors of the environment against a political

:05:33.:05:35.

and a legal system that they say has failed and they will be

:05:36.:05:38.

In a statement the gas production company told us:

:05:39.:06:05.

Thanks to Andrew Robertson who sent in this weather picture

:06:06.:06:07.

Topcliffe in North Yorkshire was actually the coldest place

:06:08.:06:19.

in England last night at minus 7.2 celsius.

:06:20.:06:21.

Let's get the forecast from Jennifer Bartrum.

:06:22.:06:23.

Clear skies to take us into the evening

:06:24.:06:26.

That means it is going to be another cold night,

:06:27.:06:29.

quite frosty and with some patches of mist and fog.

:06:30.:06:32.

The Met office has a yellow weather warning in force

:06:33.:06:38.

It could prove some tricky driving conditions if you are out first

:06:39.:06:42.

Clear spells and we are going to see a widespread hard

:06:43.:06:52.

frost by tomorrow morning, indicated by the blue tinge on the map.

:06:53.:06:55.

Temperatures through the night, dropping down to freezing in towns

:06:56.:06:58.

Many spots will see the figures dipping down to -1 or minus

:06:59.:07:01.

Thursday looks like a foggy start to the date but another

:07:02.:07:08.

We have those patches of mist and fog

:07:09.:07:13.

It should lift and break and we will see some sunny spells

:07:14.:07:22.

and isolated spots where that fog lingers through much of the

:07:23.:07:24.

Tomorrow's top temperature reaching a high of three

:07:25.:07:27.

Where you hang onto that mist, it will feel like

:07:28.:07:31.

As we go through the rest of the week

:07:32.:07:38.

then, as for Friday looks like another fairly settled day.

:07:39.:07:40.

That wind is going to increase as we head

:07:41.:07:47.

through New Year's Eve and gradually by New Year's Day, things will turn

:07:48.:07:50.

That is all we have time for for now. We are back at 10:40pm. Have a

:07:51.:08:00.

great night. Good evening, the weather is proving

:08:01.:08:38.

hazardous and the fog now becoming more extensive and causing

:08:39.:08:44.

disruption overnight tonight. There is a warning from the Met office and

:08:45.:08:54.

you can stay in touch on the website with all the latest details. For the

:08:55.:08:56.

most part the Northern Isles of Scotland escaping but not a pretty

:08:57.:08:56.

picture further south. This is eight o'clock in the morning, not everyone

:08:57.:08:57.

when he up to that sunshine. The
