he hopes to prove the earnings

forecasts wrong.

Welcome to Look North.

The main news from around

Yorkshire today...

The Chancellor building on his

budget promises in Yorkshire today.

The Yorkshire farmer warning owners

to keep dogs under control

after her sheep are mauled

in a vicious attack.

Thank you for joining us this

lunchtime.

The Chancellor and the Prime

Minister have been in Leeds

this morning talking

up yesterday's budget.

Phillip Hammond promised

the government will build more

houses, so they came

to Leeds College of Building to see

how that would happen.

Our political editor

James Vincent reports.

An early start for the Chancellor

and Prime Minister today and,

depending on who you talk to,

they were here promoting

or defending the budget.

There was a big package

yesterday that will

increase the number

of houses being built,

it will stimulate

the

house-building sector.

At Leeds College of

Building, more houses is

good news for them.

They are providing

the apprentices that will

put those houses together.

There is a commitment

behind the changes to

planning and all the rest of it

that the companies we are supporting

just need the certainty

and the clarity

of what is happening so they have

confidence to take on apprentices

that we can hopefully train and get

ready for the future and future

workforce.

Philip Hammond also told

the press he wasn't punishing

Yorkshire for not agreeing

a devolution deal.

Half of his new transforming

cities fund will be

available for places that

have regional mayors.

We do not have one but

the Chancellor said York, and

Leeds can bid for

some of that money.

The Chancellor and his boss do not

necessarily agree on Brexit but

she was on hand to help

him out this morning.

That is why we're putting more

financing support into the

housing market.

Ensure councils will build council

homes and we have the brick layers,

layers, the electricians

that we need for the future.

Presumably, built in Yorkshire those

houses will be both

strong and stable.

It's understood that Leeds' bid

to host the European Capital

of Culture in 2023 has been

scuppered.The European Comission has

written a letter stating that bids

from the UK will not be considered.

Leeds city council says

it's aware of the letter

and is looking into the claims.

Four other UK cities

were in the running and a decision

had been expected next week.

A High Court judge has ruled

than an injunction obtained

by energy giant Ineos prohibiting

slow walking and other obstruction

at its shale gas sites can continue.

The environmental campaigners

had urged the judge to scrap it,

saying it was draconian

but following a hearing last month

the judge has today announced it

will remain with one change.

Ineos has put in a planning

application to test drill at a site

at Marsh Lane in North Derbyshire.

A farmer from Leeds is calling

on dog owners to be more responsible

after seven of her rare breed

sheep were mutilated.

The vicious attack happened

on farmland near Adel and four

of the animals had to be put down.

The farmer shared the shocking

images of the wounded sheep

on social media, hoping it will make

dog owners think before

they let their pets off

the lead around livestock.

You may find some of the images

in this report upsetting.

Michelle Lyons has more.

Nicky Burrow's family have been

farming here from more

than half a century.

Nicky Burrow's family have been

farming here for more

She bought a dozen rare breed sheep

six years ago and now has 200.

Her flock were grazing in a field

when a member of the public

alerted her to a dying ewe.

Nicky believes the dog

strayed off a nearby path

and attacked seven of her sheep.

Four were so badly injured

they had to be put down.

We had one ewe

with her ear torn off.

Half of her face was

quite badly mangled.

She was still alive

and running about.

We had to load her up on the trailer

for when the vet came.

We had another two with a lot

of ripping injuries to the nose.

The noses had been

completely ripped apart.

Nicky posted images of her mutilated

sheep on social media to shame

the dog owner And to raise awareness

just how brutal a dog attack can

be.

But she has heard nothing back

and is now concerned

it may happen again.

We did not see the dog and we have

had no contact from the owner.

They have just literally

clipped their dog on the

lead and walked off.

There is no way they did not know

what this dog has done,

it was going to be covered in blood

and they just walked away from it.

Last year 1,000 dog worrying

incidents were reported.

to the national farmers'

union across the country.

Costing the industry £1.3 million.

Such attacks are a criminal

offence and dog owners can

be fined up to £1000.

We own into the woodland down there

which is where the footpath is.

We believe the dog came up,

out of the woodland.

I will show you the field

where it happened.

They have put years of work

into producing the best livestock,

best breeding quality.

And obviously attacks like this,

they wipe out years worth of work.

That does have an

emotional consequence.

This is a farmer's livelihood.

Many of the ewes were pregnant

at the time of the attack and Nicky

won't know until they are scanned

in January

whether the lambs have survived.

So, the stress continues into

the new year and there is always

the worry the dog may return.

An exclusive screening of

the Doctor Who Christmas episode -

will be taking place in York

and Bradford over the next

I am a doctor.

I am the doctor.

of Peter Capaldi -

as the Doctor - will be shown

on BBC One on Christmas Day.

Those who can't wait can catch

a special preview taking

place at venues across Yorkshire.

And the ballot for tickets opened

this morning and runs for ten days.

The presenters who will host next

week's MOBOs in Leeds,

have been announced.

The Music of Black Origin awards

is returning to the city

for the first time since 2015.

4music presenter Maya Jama

will be the youngest person

ever to host the MOBOs -

when she takes to the stage

alongside former JLS

member Marvin Humes.

A quick look at some of last

night's football now.

I'm afraid Leeds United

are licking their wounds today,

after a heavy four-one defeat,

away at Championship leaders

Wolves.

The home side powered

their way to a 2-0

half-time advantage,

before Leeds really got going.

Things looked more promising

when Alioski struck for Leeds

with a great volley early

in the second half.

But from 2-1 down, United

ended up conceding twice

again before the end,

and slumped to an eigth

loss of the season.

At least Sheffield Wednesday managed

to grab a 2-2 draw at Ipswich

and we'll show you their goals

on Look North tonight at 6.30.

I bet you had maximum hairspray on

yesterday.

I bet you had maximum hairspray on

yesterday. It is windy out there

today. Blustery conditions but then

it will start coming. There is the

outlook for this afternoon. Some

showers throughout Yorkshire. Mainly

concentrated in the western parts,

the heaviest of them. They are

moving to parts of north Yorkshire.

It better chance of seeing the

brightness. Still quite breezy and

blustery. Temperatures up to eight

or nine Celsius. Tonight, this is

when the story changes. We lose

those showers, they tend to fizzle

out. We may catch a little sweet or

snow shower on the Pennines. You can

see a blue-collar developing. That

is where we are expecting the

temperatures to go down below

freezing in rural parts. Three

Celsius around town. It will be

bright and plenty of the sunshine.

Actually, we should hang onto it

throughout the day. Feeling cold.

Five verse six Celsius our highs.

Low-pressure heading in here. Cold

air from the north. Temperatures go

down the stairs over the next couple

of days. I love that analogy.

Goodbye.
