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

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.
