a mock airline cabin in a classroom in leeds.here won't be many opportunities with the bigger airlines in the eu for me to get a job. it may make it a lot harder and i may have two stay and i may have to stay with the uk airlines and not be linked with any others. what is happening? what is tomorrow's headline going to be about? elsewhere in the college, the nuts and bolts of brexit are being discussed. the only thing they agree on is that the detail is online. i think brexit is a bad idea because of the funding we will lose from the eu. i think it is a good opportunity for our country. kieran and brandon are happy going head—to—head over the matter. if we lose a lot of the funding or free—trade deals, how will we be replacing them? so we are not just left on our own and isolated. 0pening ourselves up to the rest of the world, it's important we have that diversity and co—operate with other countries around the globe and not just singling ourselves in one block. if we bring such a spectacular change, we have no idea what has go to

>> marco pierre white: i was born and bred on the outskirts of leeds in a project housing estate.very humble beginnings, i used to cross my road, walk over the golf course, and there i was on the harewood estate, designed by the great "capability" brown, the stately home of the earl of howard. that was my playground. >> marco pierre white: i was fascinated by the countryside. i loved the rivers, the streams, the brooks, the fields, the woods, what was within them. that's what captured me. it was a dream. that was my escapism. my mother died when i was 6. mother nature, she became my surrogate mother. and, so, therefore, i had this amazing love affair with nature. >> anthony: but, look, once you go into a high-end restaurant you're about as far away from nature as you can be. i mean, it's hard to rise up the ranks of the good fine dining restaurants, particularly in the time that you came up, shit was not easy. >> marco pierre white: but everybody in the kitchen that i started in came from a housing project. they were working-class, they were tough. they were hard, really hard. the

the problem is particularly severe in cities like edinburgh, leeds, birmingham and london with dieselred black cabs is introducing a brand new electric model. as part of our ongoing series, richard westcott travelled to arctic norway, where the taxi is being tested to the limit. on some of the coldest roads on earth, in some of the cleanest air, secret tests are going on. for a vehicle that could help cut pollution thousands of miles away in britain. this is the brand—new design for the iconic london black cab. it's camouflaged because it's a test vehicle. but before they can put this through its paces, in the cities, they have to try it out in one of the most hostile environments on earth. and it doesn't get a lot more hostile than here. it looks like the traditional london black cab. the big difference? is how it sounds. it's got an electric engine. most of the time driving with zero emissions. although a small petrol motor charges the battery from time to time. it feels like a ride in any normal black cab except it is a lot quieter, because you haven't got the diesel engine. what y

the 25—year—old from leeds had been two seconds clear of the field after the bike stage, but he finished world series event. in super league, salford beat bottom side warrington 24—14. and widnes came from behind to draw away to catalans dragons. from 14—6 down at half time, the vikings grappled their way back into the match in muddy conditions. rhys hanbury‘s try with less than seven minutes to go earned them a draw, 14—14 the final score. rory mcilroy has finished his third round at the world golf championships event in mexico, tied for third place on the leaderboard. the northern irishman can reclaim his world number one ranking depending on what happens today. he finished his round on ten under par. that's two shots behind the leader. but take a look at this coming up. a brilliant hole in one from american justin thomas. an ace at the 13th. we will have a look at that later, it is worth watching. that's all your sport for now. it has been a busy week. we didn't get to see the hole in one! you will. you will. you said it was an absolute pitch! t is! you've got to keep them wanting mor
