Good evening from Look North. now time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
There's little to show from the push to build | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
according to one West Yorkshire business leader. | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
The President of Bradford's Chamber of Commerce says | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
But the Northern Powerhouse minister defended the progress made so far. | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
For more than three years, the government has been talking | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
about giving the economy a bit more punch | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
by setting up something called the Northern Powerhouse. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
But, for parents and coaches at a boxing club | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
in Knottingley Miners Welfare, it's an idea that has yet to hit home. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
If I was to say to you, the words Northern Powerhouse | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
To be honest, it's a term, I've never heard of it. | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
I've never heard of it, at all. Until tonight. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
If I was to say to you, it's being pushed by the government. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
It began by the Osborne-Cameron government to boost | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
As I say, I've never heard it before. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
I've never seen any finances, in this direction. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
People here have been hit by a series of body blows. | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
Ferrybridge C power station has gone, as has killing the colliery | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
and council cuts are beginning to bite as the local pool | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Unemployment has been falling, unemployment is at | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
record low levels in many parts of the North. | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
We've got massive amounts of foreign investment coming in, | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
running at twice the national average, so it's having an impact. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
People don't need to be au fait with the Northern Powerhouse strategy. | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
What's important is they see the results. | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
So, do business leaders feel a bit brighter about the Powerhouse plan | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
to help hard-hit areas by building and linking economies | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
If you get the rail system working better | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
and you get connectivity with roads and other public transport systems. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
And the whole system works better from | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
then the whole thing starts to look like a compelling place | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
Back in Knottingley, there is no immediate lift from the | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
high-speed rail plans but people are hoping a knock on effect isn't | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
A memorial has been unveiled in honour of three family members | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
who were murdered at their home in West Yorkshire last year. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Gerry Newman, her 11-year-old daughter Shannon | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
and six-year-old son Shane were killed by their father Paul. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
He was later discovered dead at cliffs near Anglesey. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
He'd been previously jailed for domestic violence. | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
In the community and as part of the parish council, | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
they wanted to create a lasting tribute that was fitting | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
for the family where family members, ex-colleagues of Gerry, | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
and friends and family members can come down | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
and pay their respects to the memorial. | :02:42. | :02:42. | |
It's absolutely brilliant. We think it's fantastic. | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
We're really proud of it. It's a nice memorial for them. | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
They were fantastic. The kids and Gerry were wonderful. | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
Disgraced former Co-op Bank chairman and former Bradford City | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
Councillor Paul Flowers says he still has drug problems. | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Sunday Programme | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
after being stripped of the title Reverend last week - | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
the 66-year-old said his problems were "largely" in the past. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
But he said it would be a "lie" to suggest | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
In 2014 he was fined for having cocaine, | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
Olympic medalist Beth Tweddle has been in South Yorkshire today | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
encouraging young people to take up gymnastics. | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
The former World Champion helped children at Barnsley Gymnastics Club | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
More than 100 local children turned up to meet her. | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
It is important for children to do physical activity, | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
sport has taught me so much which I am using in everyday life. | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
Everything from motivation to determination. | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
The simple things, having friends, having that social circle. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
Gymnastics has given me so much throughout my career and I just | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
wanted to inspire the younger generation. | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
so why can't they achieve it as well? | :03:52. | :04:03. | |
Nice to see her in Yorkshire. Let's see what the weather is like. | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
Well, there's only one way those temperatures are going overnight | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
It's going to be a chilly one across Yorkshire, yet again, | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
I think were going to see some dense patches of fog forming, as well. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
We'll get down to about -3 and would have thought | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
So, tomorrow morning, travelling first thing, | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
there that fog in mind and I think we'll see some frost as well. | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
Definitely more in the way of sunshine. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
Looking into the crystal ball for the next couple of days, then. | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
It's quite a settled, quiet story, really. | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
High pressure in charge but it will be pretty cold. | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
Take care tomorrow morning in the fog. We hope you have a great week | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
ahead. Good evening. If you are dreading | :04:58. | :05:09. | |
the trudge back to work in the morning I'm not going to help | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
matters. There is the prospect of nasty, freezing fog over the next | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
couple of days. Quite localised but tricky out there on the roads. | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
Disruption possible. Check out your BBC local radio station, go online | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
for the latest updates where you are. The fog thickening up as I | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
subpoenaing, particularly across southern parts of the UK. There are | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
warnings in force with some patches of fog elsewhere, too. A cold one, | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
needless to say. Some places already well below freezing. Where you have | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
cloud cover, hovering just above. Some showers around, too, coming out | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
of the cloud. So ice around first thing in the morning. Let's | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
concentrate on the fog. It includes the London area, some of the | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
airports could be affected. Allow extra | :06:06. | :06:06. |
