Good evening. on the BBC News Channel,

:00:08.:00:09.

Police in North Yorkshire say drivers distracted by gadgets

:00:10.:00:13.

or technology while behind the wheel could face prosecution

:00:14.:00:15.

if evidence submitted by the public is strong enough.

:00:16.:00:20.

The force says they've received almost 100 tip offs about bad

:00:21.:00:23.

behaviour from motorists under "Operation Spartan"

:00:24.:00:25.

where people can report cases of anti social driving

:00:26.:00:27.

You can easily note the registration down and some action can be taken

:00:28.:00:43.

against them, whether it is education or enforcement.

:00:44.:00:45.

Acting Sergeant Zoe Billings on the lookout for drivers behaving badly.

:00:46.:00:48.

The public can submit intelligence about anti-social use of vehicles

:00:49.:00:51.

Officers will then assess the information

:00:52.:00:54.

The definition of vulnerable for the purpose of the investigation

:00:55.:01:02.

will be anybody that by their behaviour on the roads

:01:03.:01:05.

looks like they are going to cause a risk of injury to themselves

:01:06.:01:08.

We're looking out for anyone who's driving or cycling,

:01:09.:01:13.

riding, horse riding, anybody who uses the roads.

:01:14.:01:15.

Anybody whose behaviour looks like it causes a bit of a risk.

:01:16.:01:18.

Marked police vehicles tend to make drivers behave.

:01:19.:01:22.

Officers say with the public's help, this scheme enables them to follow

:01:23.:01:25.

up reports of aggressive motoring or illegal phone use for example.

:01:26.:01:29.

This can be in the form of a letter, a conversation or in some

:01:30.:01:33.

cases, if evidence is strong enough, potential prosecution.

:01:34.:01:35.

North Yorkshire Police say this is not about turning people

:01:36.:01:38.

into police officers, Operation Spartan is simply

:01:39.:01:41.

about reducing the vulnerability of road users.

:01:42.:01:46.

So far, more than 90 reports of bad driving have been submitted.

:01:47.:01:48.

Meanwhile, the force's drink and drug driving

:01:49.:01:52.

arrests during the run-up to Christmas, 20%

:01:53.:01:55.

The figures are expected to rise further over the days.

:01:56.:02:09.

Telling somebody their loved one is never

:02:10.:02:13.

I have done it on a number of occasions.

:02:14.:02:17.

Knowing myself that what I am going to say

:02:18.:02:19.

is going to change their life forever in the worst

:02:20.:02:22.

possible way, knowing nothing I can say is going to make

:02:23.:02:25.

Police say distractions can prove fatal.

:02:26.:02:28.

With the public's help, they hope more lives can be

:02:29.:02:30.

saved, sparing families the anguish of losing a loved one.

:02:31.:02:34.

Two men have appeared before magistrates in Scarborough charged

:02:35.:02:36.

with the murder of a man who was found dead

:02:37.:02:39.

Police made the discovery of a body at a house

:02:40.:02:43.

The victim, 49 year old Shaun Atkinson, was pronounced

:02:44.:02:51.

Barry Rewcroft, who's 51 and his son Ruben,

:02:52.:02:56.

who's 20 have been remanded in custody by magistrates.

:02:57.:03:00.

The A1M in North Yorkshire's been closed in both directions

:03:01.:03:02.

because of a lorry fire for much of the day.

:03:03.:03:04.

The lorry carrying bales of straw caught fire earlier today.

:03:05.:03:07.

The driver's safe but the road was closed

:03:08.:03:09.

between Catterick and Scotch Corner and diversions put in place

:03:10.:03:11.

Norman Rimmington, known affectionately

:03:12.:03:15.

as 'Mr Barnsley' has died aged 93, the

:03:16.:03:17.

Known as a fearless goalkeeper, he signed

:03:18.:03:19.

But after his playing career went on to hold

:03:20.:03:27.

a number of different roles, including coach, groundsman, physio,

:03:28.:03:29.

kitman and latterly doing the laundry well into his 90s.

:03:30.:03:34.

We understand the deal approved by the Rugby Football League to buy

:03:35.:03:37.

the Bradford Bulls has been rejected by the administrator

:03:38.:03:39.

After days of negotiations between the buyer and the RFL

:03:40.:03:43.

the bid was submitted a few days before Christmas.

:03:44.:03:45.

It had been expected it would get the go ahead.

:03:46.:03:48.

Look North believes there is still another potential buyer

:03:49.:03:50.

and talks are continuing to try to save the club.

:03:51.:03:56.

A supermarket where you pay whatever you want has opened in Sheffield.

:03:57.:04:00.

The Real Junk Food Project takes food that other shops

:04:01.:04:06.

don't need or want - and sells it on.

:04:07.:04:08.

Some of it has passed its sell by date - some of it has been over

:04:09.:04:12.

ordered and would end up on a landfill site.

:04:13.:04:14.

Two bags of shopping each full of fruit and veg.

:04:15.:04:22.

Sheffield's pay what you want supermarket is the second in

:04:23.:04:26.

For the food it is this place or landfill.

:04:27.:04:32.

Shelves and shelves of food from shops across

:04:33.:04:37.

Sheffield, and if this last chance supermarket did not exist, all of

:04:38.:04:41.

this would just get chucked in the bin.

:04:42.:04:43.

Most of the main supermarkets are now signed up to the real junk food

:04:44.:04:46.

Supermarkets are at least now willing to work with us.

:04:47.:04:54.

One year ago, we only worked with local buisnesses and none

:04:55.:04:57.

of the national chains would work with us.

:04:58.:04:58.

Now at least some some of them are wanting to work with us.

:04:59.:05:01.

Even though there is still a long way to go,

:05:02.:05:04.

to address and admit the problem, which is great.

:05:05.:05:07.

Some of the food is past its best before.

:05:08.:05:10.

Some of it is just not needed by supermarkets

:05:11.:05:12.

For the customers, to give away is much better than it rotting away.

:05:13.:05:16.

What I have got here, I reckon it is about eight quids'

:05:17.:05:19.

It is all for a good cause, isn't it?

:05:20.:05:26.

I think most people are going to be paying what they can afford.

:05:27.:05:29.

What is the point of growing it if it is

:05:30.:05:34.

I am going to go home and make a lovely curry.

:05:35.:05:37.

The supermarket is here until the 8th of January.

:05:38.:05:47.

there is more being delivered out the back.
