money seized from criminals in west yorkshire is being spent on trying to improve the safety of women's our home affairs correspondent emma glasbey. hands up and out. that's it, brilliant. and again. basic self—defence moves being tried out by a group in leeds. one punch, out the way. the classes are free. women can receive help with bus fares so they can get here. one, and then, you know what? it's not happening again. we cannot show all of those here. past experience means some of them don't feel safe. lucy started these sessions to help build women's confidence. coming out of the pandemic, women were even more afraid to leave their homes, but also domestic abuse had gone up during the pandemic. so they may be afraid to leave, but they were not safe at home either. so i felt it was important to put something out there that was just sort of offering practical, in the moment solutions. the self—defence aspect is mostly to help women feel safer when they go out. these sessions are also about women talking through their fears. it has helped me to be confident in myself, not to be scared

nicola rees has been to visit hebden bridge in west yorkshire, where campaigners want to see change.through town, especially in her hometown of hebden bridge, a place awash with street furniture, like bollards, bins, benches and signs. i've got to use this long white cane here to go along the pavement to find the obstacles. and there are often a lot of obstacles, like tables and chairs, a—boards especially, and they move position, which is even worse because you never know when you're going to find them. but change is on the way. volunteers from the west yorkshire sight loss council are helping business owners to understand the problem. what's that one? so, this one would be... this takes away any sort of perception of sight, so itjust gives light. these special glasses are known as sim specs. they give everyone the opportunity to experience the town as a blind or partially sighted person. there's a lot of areas where you can't see and, you know, no, i don't feel safe. it takes a bit of getting used to, as we all found out. so, what's really striking, once you've tried these glasses

0ur correspondent fiona trott is in wakefield in west yorkshire — a seat the conservatives won from labourack, this year, in a by—election. their challenge for the new prime minister in constituencies like this is that people here still want the development and the investment that the conservatives promised that the last election, that was before the pandemic, before the cost of living crisis and after the political upheaval over the past few weeks they want stability and they are looking at westminster and wondering if the new prime minister can deliver all that. wakefield, a red wool seat that fell to the conservatives at the last election and this year, labour won it back again in the by—election. they have seen politicians come and go but have they had enough of it? i've had enough of it, it's absolutely ridiculous at the end of the day, because they are not in it... they are in it for themselves, not for the people. irate it. .. they are in it for themselves, not for the people.— it... they are in it for themselves, not for the people. we could do with some stability- _ not for the pe

war two, has spent years campaigning for a memorial to be built in north yorkshire, to remember thousands of soldiers from the wests hour of need, and yet their contribution goes unrecognised. and ijust don't think that's fair. initially, filey town council rejected the request for a caribbean memorial, saying it wouldn't be inclusive. now they say the garden is only to commemorate people from filey who gave their life in conflict. so a tribute to those who came from the west indies wouldn't be appropriate. it needs to be remembered and documented as well, because i don't think many people realise that these people came. 5000 west indians came in a short space of time to help. those who served and their families simply want that story preserved forfuture generations. filey town council say they may consider alternative locations, but campaigners are still waiting to hear where those may be. that was abi jaiyeola reporting. you're watching breakfast. we're on bbc one until ten o'clock this morning, when olly smith takes over in the saturday kitchen. it's me! how are you? i'm very well to see you- — it's me! how are
