North. The headlines tonight. A call for more support for school leavers | :00:08. | :00:17. | |
:00:18. | :00:18. | ||
to keep them off benefits. understand the importance of maths | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
and English and white is beneficial. They were kicked, beaten | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
and attacked with a stick - we're live at the coastal community | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
rallying round to protect its donkeys. Dancing on the streets of | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
Hull - the latest push to become UK City of Culture. We have to prove | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
the city needs it and the city wants it. Protecting the Lincolnshire | :00:42. | :00:52. | |
:00:52. | :00:52. | ||
dialect - the language being saved from dying out. A little bit warmer | :00:52. | :01:02. | |
:01:02. | :01:05. | ||
tomorrow. I will be back later with teenagers who leave school with poor | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
grades to stop thousands of them ending up on benefits. It's a | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
warning from the youth charity, the Prince's Trust, which says a third | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
of those who get poor grades think they will have to live off the | :01:16. | :01:26. | |
:01:26. | :01:39. | ||
state. It's a particular problem in Hull and Grimsby where there is high | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
youth unemployment. The Trust says ambitions are being crushed and | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
wants more training for teenagers to get into jobs like building and | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
plumbing. Sarah Corker reports. How do you break the link between | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
poor exam results and joblessness? Research by the Prince's Trust shows | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
those who struggle at school often resign themselves to a life on | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
benefits. Lee Larkin was once one of those teenagers on the dole, leaving | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
school at 14 with no qualifications. He's turned his life around - now | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
running his own plumbing business. From nine to 14, it was probably the | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
lowest period of my life. I didn't realise what I was doing. People 12 | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
to much on the fact they have underachieved with qualifications - | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
- people dwell too much on the fact they have underachieved with | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
qualifications. Last month, the Governenment | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
unveiled the tech level - a vocational alternative to A levels, | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
giving students training in subjects like engineering and hospitality. | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
Tax levels will be about recognising high quality. | :02:41. | :02:50. | |
But the Prince's Trust says those who fail at school need more help. | :02:50. | :03:00. | |
:03:00. | :03:00. | ||
In Hull, the figure was below the national average. The same was true | :03:00. | :03:09. | |
in the east riding of. - - the same was true in East Yorkshire. These | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
workshops in Hull encourage teenagers to take apprenticeships in | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
health and social care. But course leaders say there often aren't the | :03:14. | :03:24. | |
:03:24. | :03:25. | ||
jobs at the end of it. The problem we have is employers affording to | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
take people on as apprentices. Alongside practical skills, students | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
still need basic English and Maths qualifications. At 19, Jess Hunter | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
is re-taking her maths GCSE. I know now it is important. In school, I | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
had the attitude that I would never use ratio. I know now it is | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
something I need to achieve if I can move on to what I want to do. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
So as teenagers anxiously wait to pick up their GSCE results next | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
week, Lee says whaetever grades you get, there are job opportunities out | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
there. David Walker represents a group of | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
schools and colleges taking a new approach to helping young people | :04:02. | :04:11. | |
prepare for their future careers and he joins me now. | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
Good evening, Mr Walker. Would you agree with the findings of the | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
Princes trust? I think there is a lot of truth in what the Prince's | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Trust say. I think an awful lot of this comes down to young people | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
having away to relate what they're doing in and colleges, getting an | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
idea of what work is about, and understanding what employers want. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
We work with over 1400 employees across the UK, and many in the | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
Yorkshire and Humber region. We find that once you give people | :04:51. | :05:01. | |
:05:01. | :05:09. | ||
information, they can see it is worthwhile. Are you surprised that a | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
third of those with poor grades think their future looks not good | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
and they were live on benefits? think it is a disappointing thing. | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
It tells us the level of the challenge here, in terms of giving | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
people an insight. You will find the students getting their GCSE results | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
now will be the first that will not simply be leaving. There will be | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
required to do some sort of further training, and I think that can only | :05:39. | :05:48. | |
help. It needs to be the right training. How'd you get somebody who | :05:48. | :05:58. | |
:05:58. | :05:58. | ||
has not done well in their GCSE 's but elated? It is about trying to | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
relate what they do to the subject is, what they want to do. That is | :06:06. | :06:14. | |
the way forward. Very interesting to talk with you. How surprising is it | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
that so many teenagers see their future as living off benefits. Is | :06:17. | :06:27. | |
:06:27. | :06:50. | ||
In a moment: A local supermarket chain comes forward to run some of | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
Lincolnshire's libraries. People from around the world have | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
expressed anger and disgust after two Cleethorpes beach donkeys were | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
beaten and kicked. Businesses have now clubbed together to raise a | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
reward of almost �2,000 to catch those responsible. Jill Archbold has | :07:08. | :07:17. | |
been to Ingoldmells to meet the donkeys' owner. | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
Trusting and docile, donkeys are an icon on the British beach, but an | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
unlikely target for unprovoked filers. One donkey is yet to return | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
to the beach since he was punched and kicked in the head. News which | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
has caused an outpouring of anger. It is good that the public have | :07:41. | :07:51. | |
:07:51. | :07:59. | ||
said, carry on, do not pack up. reward of nearly �2000 is being | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
offered to help find people who the donkey, made of donations from local | :08:05. | :08:13. | |
business owners who were shocked by this news. We are like a big family, | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
and it is like somebody assaulting your best friend as far as we're | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
concerned. It is not acceptable on any level. It has gone viral this | :08:21. | :08:29. | |
week. Everybody is outraged. This nearby sanctuary is a stark reminder | :08:29. | :08:37. | |
of how animal abuse can change the donkey's nature. Most donkeys adore | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
children. They are so soft and gentle with them. If children hurt | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
them, that trust will go. A lot of donkeys do not ever trust again | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
after abuse happens. It is back to Britain as for John and his donkeys. | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
Hopes are high that the culprit can be found. | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
Jill is live on the beach at Ingoldmells. How strong has the | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
public reaction been to these donkey attacks? | :09:04. | :09:14. | |
Well, everybody I have spoken to, it has been a reaction of shock. As you | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
can see, they are such placid creatures. The abuse of trust seems | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
to have been what has upset people so much. It really has had an | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
international reaction. We have had messages from support from all over | :09:29. | :09:39. | |
:09:39. | :09:40. | ||
the world. Thank you very much. We will let you | :09:40. | :09:50. | |
:09:50. | :09:51. | ||
know what happens. The organisers of Hull's bid to become the UK City of | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
Culture in 2017 say local people must get behind them if they're to | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
be successful. This morning an open-air ballet performance was held | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
in the city centre to promote the campaign. | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
A preview of what's to come if Hull is named UK City of Culture. The | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
mini performance from Ballet Loren marked the start of the Back the Bid | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
campaign. Hull has a great chance of winning | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
UK City of Culture, but we have to prove that the city needs it and the | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
city wants it and the people's support is really crucial to that. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
We are encouraging people today to get engaged with the bid, to back us | :10:23. | :10:31. | |
on Twitter and Facebook, to continue to send in their ideas. | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
This promotional branding will be popping up all over the city - it's | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
hoped it will encourage local people and businesses to get behind the | :10:37. | :10:47. | |
:10:47. | :10:47. | ||
bid. I think it would be lovely. We have as much right as anybody else | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
to have the City of Culture, haven't we? It will draw people in. It's | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
good for business, for hotels and restaurants and even myself. Let's | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
get Hull on the map. Winning the title would mean | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
investment in the city of around �11 million, leading to jobs and the | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
promotion of the city in the UK and beyond. Hull Truck Youth Theatre is | :11:04. | :11:14. | |
:11:14. | :11:20. | ||
the kind of group that would benefit. We nurture talent here. It | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
would be brilliant for these guys to thrive. We have a great system | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
here. We do not get noticed compared to other cities like Manchester | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
Liverpool. If we did when City of Culture, I think we would become | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
more renowned. Hull needs to see off Dundee, | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
Leicester and Swansea Bay to win the title. The city will find out if all | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
the campaigning has been worth it when the winner is announced in | :11:45. | :11:53. | |
November. Still ahead tonight: As Hull City | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
prepare for the Premier League, we meet the manager who admits he's | :11:56. | :12:06. | |
:12:06. | :12:14. | ||
living a dream. Most men would give their right arm for it. I was very | :12:14. | :12:24. | |
:12:24. | :12:29. | ||
Martin Birks took this of Kelby near Sleaford. Fantastic skyline. Thank | :12:29. | :12:38. | |
you for backs, and thank you all for the e-mails. John has e-mailed | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
saying, I have sent you a large August calendar so you can mark of | :12:43. | :12:52. | |
the days until Paul comes back. Act did not realise you could print | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
of an attachment, Peter. He posted it. Don't patronise me. | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
Are you looking forward to him coming back? | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
Yes. On with the forecast. It doesn't | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
look too bad. It will be a little bit warmer than it has been today, | :13:10. | :13:18. | |
and there will be some sunshine around. Any heavy rain will be on | :13:18. | :13:28. | |
:13:28. | :13:29. | ||
Thursday. There has been a fair amount of cloud this afternoon, | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
which has produced a few showers. There is a heavy downpour in the | :13:35. | :13:45. | |
:13:45. | :13:45. | ||
Louth area at the moment. It looks like a fine, dry night. Values in | :13:45. | :13:55. | |
:13:55. | :14:03. | ||
the towns and cities are down to around 11 or 12. We start tomorrow | :14:03. | :14:12. | |
with a bit of Apache missed. - - a bit of Apache missed. There is a | :14:12. | :14:22. | |
:14:22. | :14:24. | ||
very small risk of the odd shower. It will be around average for the | :14:24. | :14:34. | |
:14:34. | :14:34. | ||
time of year. Some places getting up to 21. 21 is 70 Fahrenheit. It looks | :14:34. | :14:42. | |
like a front will push in on Thursday night into Friday. A wet | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
start on Friday, but brightening up with some stars of sunshine. What an | :14:46. | :14:56. | |
:14:56. | :15:00. | ||
warned. See you tomorrow. A local supermarket chain has come | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
forward to offer to run some of Lincolnshire's threatened libraries. | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
Lincolnshire Cooperative has already taken on one library at Waddington | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
near Lincoln, which is inside a chemist's. Lincolnshire County | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
Council wants to hand control of 32 of its 47 libraries to businesses or | :15:11. | :15:21. | |
:15:21. | :15:22. | ||
community groups to try to save �2 million a year. We have identified | :15:22. | :15:30. | |
five where we think we could accommodate the library. We are | :15:30. | :15:37. | |
willing to talk to any communities about how we can help. We talked | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
about this last night. Thanks to everyone who got in touch | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
with us last night about the future of Lincolnshire's libraries. | :15:42. | :15:52. | |
:15:52. | :16:25. | ||
Malcolm says the service is already I spoke with the leader of | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
Lincolnshire County Council Martin Hill, and asked him why people | :16:27. | :16:35. | |
should volunteer to run their local libraries. We will still remain with | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
15 full-time libraries. We hope people will help us run the others. | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
They are not going to be proper libraries, are they? Yes, they will | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
be. They will still be supported by professional library staff. The same | :16:53. | :17:02. | |
services will be provided. People pay their council tax and they want | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
their libraries. Because of the national financial situation, we | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
have to save money. This �2 million is a contribution to that. If that | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
is found from the library service and we will have to look at other | :17:16. | :17:26. | |
areas, such as supporting police or highway maintenance. So library 's | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
IRA costly luxury that very few people are using. - - so libraries | :17:32. | :17:41. | |
are a costly luxury. The service will be enhanced by the use of | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
volunteers. Is your housekeeping as good as it could have in? Lancashire | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
and Cheshire have made savings but not lost libraries. We are hoping | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
not to close libraries. We have already saved �100 million. We are | :17:59. | :18:08. | |
working hard to find savings and freeze council tax. There we are. It | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
is a very emotive subject. People feel very passionately about that. | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
We will continue to follow that story. | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
Research in Hull could make cancer diagnosis faster and more accurate. | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
The technology allows doctors to personalise scans to improve | :18:24. | :18:33. | |
diagnosis and provide more relevant treatment. And scientists at the | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
city's university say it could also be used to detect heart disease and | :18:36. | :18:46. | |
:18:46. | :18:46. | ||
dementia. Amy Cole reports. This temporary scanner at Hull Royal | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
infirmary is already making its mark. Nicky is a former cancer | :18:52. | :19:00. | |
patient. She has been able to use the scanner. I have had so many | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
biopsies and scans, and they were inconclusive. This machine would | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
have meant it would have been apparent straightaway what was wrong | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
with me. The scanner uses small amounts of radiation in order to | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
detect tumours, which in turn improves diagnosis. Scientists at | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
Hull University say they are confident that in future, it could | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
be used to detect other diseases, not just cancer. To be able to have | :19:31. | :19:40. | |
different patients coming in and to be able to make diagnoses, that is | :19:40. | :19:50. | |
:19:50. | :19:52. | ||
what we are working on here in Hull. There is still some way to go before | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
the researchers put into practice. A temporary scanner will be replaced | :19:56. | :20:04. | |
with a permanent one at Castle Hill Hospital. It is a very exciting | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
opportunity for Rose in Hull. By next April, we will be taking on the | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
work. An exciting part is to get into the cardiac and neurological | :20:19. | :20:26. | |
scanning. It is not being done on mainland UK at the moment. All | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
involved in the project say work is helping to put patients at the front | :20:32. | :20:42. | |
of new treatments. N four days' time, Hull City will | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
begin their second spell in the Premier League of English football. | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
The first game is away at Chelsea. The man who led the team to | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
promotion, manager Steve Bruce, gave a frank interview to BBC Radio | :20:53. | :20:54. | |
Humberside's David Burns during the recent pre-season training in | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
Portugal, including his memories of being the Manchester United captain | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
and why he thinks he's a lucky man. I have been fortunate. I was never | :21:04. | :21:14. | |
:21:14. | :21:18. | ||
that talented as a footballer, but I got lucky. Even now, I am here in | :21:18. | :21:26. | |
Portugal. Most men would give their right arm for it. It is just a dream | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
job. I was very lucky. What age where you when you went to | :21:31. | :21:41. | |
:21:41. | :21:45. | ||
Manchester United? Well, three or four years before that, I was in the | :21:45. | :21:54. | |
third division. What is the hardest part of your job? Picking the team. | :21:54. | :22:02. | |
I am always going to disappoint people. I can only pick 11. I was | :22:02. | :22:12. | |
:22:12. | :22:12. | ||
from a normal working-class family. I married young and I have two | :22:12. | :22:21. | |
children and I am a grandad now. If we're not playing, on a Sunday I | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
enjoy a pint and a roast dinner. I enjoy going to the cinema, I enjoy | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
TV. I am very content. I am delighted for the supporters and the | :22:34. | :22:41. | |
owners. Michener mistake, it will be really difficult. It is a tough | :22:41. | :22:51. | |
:22:51. | :22:51. | ||
league. Hopefully, the players will relish the challenge. I think we | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
have some really good young players, who I think will go on to be really | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
good players and really good Premier League players. It is not often you | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
get someone who will pump millions and millions into Hull City. I have | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
really enjoyed the last 12 months. I am delighted for the chairman. | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
Without him, I am not sure there would be a football club, let alone | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
one in the Premier League. You can hear more of that interview with | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
David Burns on his radio programme on BBC Radio Humberside this Friday. | :23:25. | :23:35. | |
:23:35. | :23:39. | ||
Grimsby town and Lincoln city are RAF crews say they're trying to keep | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
noise to a minimum during a programme of night flying in | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
Lincolnshire. Typhoons based at RAF Coningsby are training during the | :23:45. | :23:53. | |
evening to practice flying in the dark. The RAF has apologised to | :23:53. | :24:03. | |

people affected. No pictures today of the meteor. If you take one | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
tonight, send it in. If you don't know what mizzling or | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
rammell mean, don't worry because there are now classes to help you | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
find out. They're words used in Lincolnshire dialect, which some | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
people say is dying out. Gemma Dawson's been to listen to some of | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
those who speak it every day! There's nowt or summat in there. | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
Them are beans, aren't they? stoggies are knarling away, there's | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
a great big hole in that one. sound like a foreign language, but | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
this is home grown. Farmer Wink and his brother have been using | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
Lincolnshire dialect all their lives. When we've gone, we are about | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
the last of it. It'll be dying out altogether, won't it? It's part of | :24:46. | :24:54. | |
our heritage, like the Lincoln Cathedral. Things like that. They | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
spend millions keeping them going. But the dialect, another ten or 15 | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
years and we've gone, finished. the past it would've been used more | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
widely. Do people here in Horncastle still understand the Lincolnshire | :25:04. | :25:13. | |
dialect? Have you heard of the word "arrad"? No. Do you know what the | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
word, "arrad" means? Yes, if you live in Lincolnshire it means you | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
are knackered. What about "mizzling"? No idea. Oh, is it | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
raining? Yes. Do you know what the word "rammel" means? Rammel? I do | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
actually but I can't think what it means. Is it to do with junk and | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
stuff like that. Yeah. What about "gawster"? No. You're asking all the | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
wrong questions. You are actually doing it now, laughing. To help | :25:41. | :25:48. | |
those struggling, lessons like this one in Grimsby. There is that much | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
kelter in the garage, I can't get me hoss in there. It's part of a local | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
history project, teaching people about the county's customs and | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
traditions. I think it's very important that we record it, we keep | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
records of it because no amount of my workshops will actually make | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
people speak and use the Lincolnshire dialect that was | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
prevalent 50 years ago. It's getting a bit clammy underneath if the sun | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
gets out a bit more. But back on the farm, Lincolnshire dialect is still | :26:13. | :26:23. | |
:26:23. | :26:29. | ||
these brothers' first language. Any questions? I wonder what the | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
subtitles were like on that piece. Let's get a recap of the national | :26:34. | :26:36. | |

response on this. Callum said, all I can say is academia is not as | :27:14. | :27:21. | |
relevant as people think, it is experience that matters over grades. | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
Somebody says, I got low GCSE grade 13 years ago, and I currently have | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
two businesses, GCSE grades are not necessarily everything. Richard | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
