Good evening. on the BBC News Channel, | :00:07. | :00:07. | |
The UK's leading woodland conservation charity has given | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
its backing to campaigners trying to prevent tree-felling in Sheffield. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
The Woodland Trust has named a 120-year-old Elm | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
in Nether Edge as one of its trees of the year. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
The council's review of 36,000 trees in the city has | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
provoked an angry response, and even led to arrests. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Trees are springing up all over Sheffield this month. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
In a few weeks, they'll be back in the loft. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
But it's the fate of those on the streets | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
that has people worried, in particular | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
that of this Huntingdon Elm on Chelsea Road. | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
It's just been named as one of the Woodland Trust's | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
trees of the year, but the council wants to cut it down. | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Campaigner Paul Selby nominated it for the award. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
The council 12 months ago just thought | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
this was any old piece of wood for felling. | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
Well, actually, it's one of the most important trees | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
It's fought off Dutch elm disease at least twice | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
that we know of and you cannot replace this tree. | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
It's part of the International biological diversity | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
that hopefully will help replant and repopulate the whole country | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
In July, campaigners hired an open-top bus to | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
Now the Woodland Trust is giving them ?500 | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
to be spent on the tree as a reward for its nomination. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
They'll get that in March, although, of course, | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
Sheffield City Council has felled more than 3300 trees since 2012. | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
The local authority had to apologise last month after | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
council contractors started felling eight trees | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
They woke residents and some of them were | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
The council says many of the city's trees are old or diseased, dangerous | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
or damaging the pavement and need to be cut down. | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
Their plan is to replace every one they lose with a new, | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
younger tree, but campaigners say this tree behind me and the rest | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
across the city are special and need to be saved. | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
Police say they're concerned for the safety of a teenager | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
who went missing after going to meet a man in Leeds. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
15-year-old Kate Hunter from Wetherby was last seen on Friday. | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
Her family say she'd gone to meet a man at McDonalds | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
Members of the Leeds Muslim Youth Group were handing out roses | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
to shoppers in the city today as a symbol of peace and unity. | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
The group were part of a nationwide campaign | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
of Shia and Sunni communities working together to deliver | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
Organisers of the annual event hope it'll help unite people | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
across all religions despite the conflict happening | :02:44. | :02:44. | |
So, this time of year which is the festive period | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
is all about peace and unity, so historically speaking, | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
Muslims, Christians and Jews have all stood together | :02:53. | :02:53. | |
at this time of year in celebration of peace | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
and therefore we really just wanted to say to people that | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
despite what you may hear or you may see around the world, | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
Muslims are committed to peace, tranquillity and unity. | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
The BBC's Sports Personality of the Year Awards | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
Yorkshire has five contenders after a great year of sport. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
Michelle Lyons looks ahead to the event. | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
It will be a glorious golden double for Alistair Brownlee. | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
Andy Murray maybe the bookie's favourites, but | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
surely these guys could give him a run for his money. | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
The Brownlee brothers had these headlines this year | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
not only for Alistair's Olympic gold in the triathlon but also for | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
his brotherly love when he helped Jonny over the finishing line | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Not a very pleasant thing to watch back. | :03:38. | :03:47. | |
I went to bed that night a bit stressed really and wake up the next | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
morning and there's just this incredible reaction to it. | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
Far more significant than anything I've ever done | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
She certainly could pack a punch into night's award | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
ceremony after winning her second Olympic gold medal. | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
And, of course, who could forget Danny Willett who | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
won his first major championship at the 2016 Masters tournament, | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
becoming only the second Englishman to achieve the feat. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
Kadeena Cox, the lead cycling and sprinting | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
She won a bronze medal in the women's 100 metres before | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
winning a gold medal in the women's cycling time trial. | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
And finally, let's not forget the achievement of | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
The Yorkshire striker who helped them | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
win the Premier League title earlier this year. | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
And you can of course vote for your favourite on tonight's | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
live show on BBC One, which starts in just | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
A week until Christmas Day - how is this week's weather looking? | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
Plenty of cloud around but we did see some brightness | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
and it looks like tomorrow will be quite similar. | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
But as we move through this evening and overnight, there will be | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
a few patches of dense fog developing into the early hours, | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
plenty of cloud around, temperatures falling to an overnight | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
low of between five and seven Celsius. | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
If there are any breaks, we could see a | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
touch of frost first thing and then tomorrow looking | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
Plenty of cloud, a few brighter intervals and just the risk | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
Temperatures reaching a maximum of nine Celsius with just a light | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
breeze and then into a similar story as we move into Tuesday. | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
I think maybe one or two brighter intervals but then we | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
are turning wet and unsettled as we move into midweek. | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
Now we're on at the later time of 11:20pm tonight | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
because of the Apprentice Final here on BBC One. | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
Hello. Exactly a week to Christmas but it did not feel that way in | :05:49. | :06:15. | |
north-east Scotland today with temperatures as high as 13 Celsius | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
in Aberdeenshire. This is one Weather Watcher's view. It is colder | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
and Misty and murky in South Wales. You could see some dense fog patches | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
developing tonight and into tomorrow morning. Southeast Wells, the | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
Midlands and southern England are most at risk of that. They're out | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
Brexit rain for Scotland later in the night. You could have a touch | :06:45. | :06:45. |
