in the near future at least. But hopefully at least some brightness | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
at times. The main news from | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
around Yorkshire today. Re-opened - a year | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
on and ?5 million later, And fears that free range eggs may | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
soon disappear from Yorkshire shops A West Yorkshire bridge | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
which was severely damaged by the Boxing Day floods in 2015 has | :00:16. | :00:33. | |
completely re-opened today. Repairs to Elland Bridge | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
cost around ?5 million Pedestrians and cyclists | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
were allowed to use it last month, It comes on the day politicians | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
in Leeds are calling for more money Charlotte Leeming has been to see | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
what difference it will make. Well, you can see behind me people | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
are poised to cross the bridge. Loads of people out | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
here for the reopening. A real party atmosphere, | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
because it's been a long wait. We're joined by Councillor | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
Tim Swift from the council. They've waited a long time | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
for this, haven't they? And, obviously, today | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
is a fantastic day for Elland, Why so long, a lot of | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
people have been asking? This has been a really | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
complicated project. A huge number of utilities | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
from broadband to water to Of course, we wanted | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
to get it done quickly but also we wanted to make | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
sure it was done right. This is a bridge we can be proud | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
of that's going to serve We know some businesses | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
have suffered and also people just | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
taking their kids to school have faced a massive | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
diversion, haven't they? Yeah, it's been very | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
difficult for people. We're really grateful | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
for people for how patient and understanding | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
they have been and today, And now we'll be working | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
with the Elland community to make sure the town gets a real boost | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
and really bounces back and that's why it | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
took a long time. Are you now confident, | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
Councillor Swift, if we got terrible | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
weather again, Yes, it's been designed very much | :02:07. | :02:07. | |
in line with what happened on Boxing Day, so although it's | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
restored the appearance of the bridge, obviously the structure is | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
a modern structure underneath which will be really robust | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
and can cope with the worst the weather | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
can throw at it. Well, it really is a fantastic | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
atmosphere here after a very difficult few months and I | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
think the party might go on for a while here, but they need to clear | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
out of the way and then the traffic Part of Leeds city centre was closed | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
off overnight following reports The incident started around 9:40pm | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
last night following a number of reports of a man in the area | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
with what looked like a hand gun. Roads around the Sainsbury's | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
supermarket on the Headrow were cordoned off and the area | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
was searched by the police. Officers arrested a 25-year-old man | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
and the cordon remained West Yorkshire Police say | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
the man wasn't carrying a gun when he was arrested, | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
and a search of the supermarket and surrounding areas | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
has failed to find any weapons. A grandmother and two children | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
have been rescued from a house fire in | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
South Yorkshire. Firefighters helped free | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
them from the property on Barnsley Road in Cudworth | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
in the early hours of this morning. They were taken to hospital | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
suffering from the effects Two more people have been arrested | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
by police in Sheffield, over the council's tree felling | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
programme taking the total arrests South Yorkshire Police say two | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
people were arrested on Chippinghouse Road on suspicion | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
of preventing lawful work under legislation created | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
to curb trade union activity. Sheffield residents are being | :03:42. | :03:51. | |
invited to share their views about HS2 at a community event | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
in the city today. It's part of a series | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
of consultations by the team tasked with the construction | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
of the project. The event will take place | :03:59. | :03:59. | |
at the Aston Hall Hotel There are fears that free range eggs | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
may soon be unavailable Restrictions were put in place | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
on the movement of birds within this 10km zone | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
after bird flu was found in a small backyard flock | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
near Malham last month. A North Yorkshire producer | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
has told the BBC that if the restrictions continue, | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
they'll have to re-label their eggs It comes as people are being | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
reminded they could be fined up to ?5,000 if they don't keep | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
their chickens indoors. Our correspondent | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
John Cundy reports. Government restrictions mean poultry | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
farmers across England are having to keep their birds indoors | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
to prevent the spread of avian flu currently | :04:46. | :04:46. | |
identified at sites including in North Yorkshire, | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
Lincolnshire and Wales. Such restrictions have prevented | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
the threat of bird flu pandemics But free-range farmers | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
like Edward Boothman in Keighley say the dangers of bird flu spreading | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
lay not the big producers like himself, but more | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
with smallholders. People with a lot, | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
the commercial men, It's the people who, you know, | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
people who've for hens for eggs for their breakfast | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
and that sort of thing. People with a few hens in their back | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
garden for the kids, For farmers like Edward Boothman, | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
these are worrying times. We don't want wild birds getting | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
to them because that's that would have been a lot | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
healthier going out. I have birds that are outside | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
but they're enclosed. It's a lot more work, | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
but I do believe that Defra are going to review the | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
situation at the end of February, end of this month, and hope fully, | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
if there are no more outbreaks, And we hope it will be | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
as soon as possible. As chairman of the UK Poultry Club, | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
Edward Boothman's immediate concern is that the warnings | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
of the possible spread of bird flu must get | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
to all smallholders in the country who may | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
not be so aware of the dangers. Still no official announcement | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
on who will replace Alastair Cook as England Test captain, | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
following his resignation on Monday. But it's already difficult to find | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
anyone who doesn't consider this young Yorkshireman, | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
Joe Root, to be the best Even Cook himself has | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
backed Root today! But he does mention | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
other possibles besides. You know, he's | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
obviously got something about him He's got a huge amount of respect | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
in the dressing room. You know, there's | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
other people as well. I think Ben Stokes has got | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
a leadership role I think the way he's | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
improved and matured You know, he's one of those people | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
that people gravitate to. Jos Buttler did an excellent | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
job in Bangladesh. There's a good group | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
of people pushing forward. We are still being threatened | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
with the Beast from the East. I was called the pest from the West | :07:20. | :07:33. | |
wants. But we are talking about the East. Cold air on the way. It has | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
been quite chilly already today across Yorkshire. We have seen a | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
pretty cloudy started the day and looking forward to the rest of the | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
afternoon then, we will hang onto that great and cloudy weather. | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
Fabrics of rain. This will be liked, patchy, you can see here on the | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
graphic, a lot of dry weather around. As for the temperatures, | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
four or five Celsius will just about do it for us this afternoon and that | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
is when those temperatures actually manage to peak and that'll be for a | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
short space of time as well. I think we could see the odd flurry of snow | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
on higher ground. That's becoming more likely overnight and over the | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
next couple of days. The map is turning blue so the temperature is | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
taking a tumble down 2-1 or minus two Celsius. Again, largely dry. A | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
risk of ice tomorrow morning so take care on untreated surfaces. Some of | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
that light rain and drizzle nicked at way across towards the West but | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
keeping company to this now is cold air so we are more likely to see | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
some of that sleet, some of that snow. Zooming out then, high | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
pressure in charge of things so that does mean that the weather will be | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
mostly dry and pretty settled as well. That rotate around high | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
pressure in a clockwise fashion and what that is actually helping to do | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
at the moment is strong in cold air from the East because of the | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
position of that high. So those temperatures are going to go right | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
down over the next couple of days. Risk of snow mainly on high ground | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
but I think as we look to the weekend, we are more likely to maybe | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
see some of that file into lower levels but we could seek a court in | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
the snow on the hills on Friday and on Saturday. By the time we get to | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
Sunday, not quite as cold but we are going to need to wrap up. Watch out | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
for that snow. The pest from the West and I are off | :09:20. | :09:29. | |
to share a sandwich. I think you should bring back the quiff! | :09:30. | :09:44. | |
When author Sir Terry Pratchett died, | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
They called on Death to give Terry back. | :09:50. | :09:54. |
