the News of the World. That's all from the News at Six. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
We can now joined the Good evening and welcome to BBC Look | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
North. The headlines tonight: The number of parents being fined for | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
school absences has trebled since last year. | :00:12. | :00:22. | |
She had to have ten days. They refused it, and we got fined ?120. | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
You can't stub it out but businesses are asking e`cigarette users to turn | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
it off altogether. I am live at the Deep, which will be | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
used as the backdrop for a film premiere. I will be back with your | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
forecast. Parents are defying a Government | :00:46. | :00:58. | |
clamp`down and still taking children on holiday during term time. And | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
hundreds more are being fined because of it. Every council area in | :01:03. | :01:12. | |
East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire has at least doubled the number of fines | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
handed out since they were ordered to get tough on absence. The | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Government says missing school seriously damages childrens' chances | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
in exams. But some parents say the fines are nothing compared to the | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
big holiday discounts they're getting. Sarah Corker reports. | :01:26. | :01:35. | |
A family holiday in the sun. Parents can make big savings by taking | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
children away when they should be in the classroom. Swapping school for | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
the Costas. Sophie had so much fun on that one. The Robinsons say the | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
only way they afford a break is to go in term time. Something they got | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
fined for. You look at playing the school ?120, and that is nothing | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
compared to paying up to ?800 more to go to the same place at a later | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
date. Being of at this age, I do not think But the Government's taking a | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
tougher stance. Will make any difference. New rules mean head | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
teachers can now only give permission in exceptional | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
circumstances. It is the difference we see attendance has on achievement | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
in schools. Every day you have out`of`school is making a huge | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
difference. I think it is too big a risk to take. A number of parents | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
fined for taking children out of school has more than trebled in East | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. In Hull, there has been the biggest | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
increase. 71 penalty notices were issued last year by Hull city | :02:49. | :02:58. | |
council. That has jumped up this year to 241. One travel agent told | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
me parents are simply ignoring the rules. Are the fine is working as a | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
deterrent? No. I did not think they would. I think they would have to | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
become a very big before it started to have an impact. It would probably | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
need to be something like ?150 per child per week. I think that would | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
stop families being able to travel. More than 100,000 people have signed | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
a petition for the rules to be relaxed. Others today support the | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
fines. School is more important than taking them for one holiday. It | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
won't stop parents taking their children out. I would rather pay a | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
fine then pay more for expensive holiday. The Government says too | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
much time off affects grades. Planning their next break, the | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
Robinsons say they'll pay another fine to make sure they get an | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
affordable faimily holiday. Parent Craig Langman is calling for the | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Government to reverse its zero tolerence approach to term time | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
holidays. This week he handed a petition to the Department of | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
Education with 126,000 signatures. I asked him why he thinks a cheap | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
holiday is more important than being in class. I believe passionately | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
that a child's education is number one. I am not advocating we should | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
be taking our kids out of school whenever we feel like it. That is | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
not the reason behind this campaign. It is to bring common sense back | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
into the education system. The Department of Education said | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
children lose out on valuable time and wait time catching up. They are | :04:42. | :04:56. | |
right. Not .5% of time off is for children being taken now for | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
holidays. I Usain gone on holiday can be educational? Absolutely, yes. | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
What, sitting in Benidorm in the sunshine is educational? No. In my | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
circumstance, I took my son to Rome. We went to the Colosseum, Vatican | :05:18. | :05:26. | |
City. He was interested because of various trips we have done. Do you | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
think finding is wrong? A lot of parents I have spoken to say even | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
with the fine, it is still cheaper to have a holiday during term time. | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Absolutely. That is why it is a joke. For people who can afford to | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
pay the fine, it is not an issue, and they are generally the one | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
saying, forget the fine, put your child in school. We're talking about | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
normal, working`class, hard`working people, people who cannot afford to | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
go on holiday when the holiday companies are trying to rip us off. | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
When common sense back into education. Allow parents to have a | :06:06. | :06:13. | |
say. I don't send my child to an institution. Thank you. | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Should parents be allowed some lee`way by schools if they want to | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
go on holiday in term time? Are fines fair? | :06:25. | :06:56. | |
In a moment: the referee has crossed a point. | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
Charged for criticising a referee, but what message is Bruces' | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
behaviour sending to grassroots football? | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
Horse meat has been found in tinned beef at a shop in Lincolnshire. | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
Routine testing was being carried out on slices of beef in gravy from | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
Home Bargains in Grantham when the horse DNA was discovered. Jessica | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
Lane is in the Lincoln studio newsroom. Jessica, should people be | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
concerned about this? NO SOUND. | :07:30. | :07:42. | |
I've spoken to Lincolnshire Trading Standards, who found the horse meat. | :07:43. | :08:19. | |
SILENCE. A murder investigation has been | :08:20. | :08:31. | |
launched after a man died in Lincoln Prison. Alan Goode, who was 73, was | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
found in his cell at quarter to six this morning. He was serving a | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
nine`month sentence for voyeurism. A 35`year`old inmate has been arrested | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
in connection with the incident and is helping police with their | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
enquiries. Police have named the woman found | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
after a fire in Grimsby. The body of 53`year`old Nicola Heaton was | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
discovered in the house on Westward Ho after the fire was put out. A | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
joint investigation is now under way by the police and Fire Service. | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
The Government is considering letting MPs debate Tata Steel's | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
decision to lose 340 jobs at its plant in Scunthorpe. The planned | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
cuts, announced earlier this week, have been blamed on weak demand in | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
the construction industry. The Labour MP for Scunthorpe, Nic Dakin, | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
raised his concerns in the Commons. This week, tartar steel announced | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
500 job losses, 340 in my constituency. Can we have a | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
statement or debate in the house on what the government is doing to | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
support the steel industry and steelworkers at this time? Any | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
redundancies are of course regrettable, and I think we feel | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
very much for the difficult time the workforce is experiencing. Job | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
centre plus and their rapid response service will be available and do all | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
they can to support those workers. We will continue to follow that | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
story. ?? new line Hull City suffered League Cup disappointment | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
last night after going out against Tottenham Hotspur on penalties, | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
after the match finished 2`2. Spurs led the shoot`out 8`7 when City's | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
Ahmed Elmohamdy stepped forward but the Tigers' player hit it against | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
the keeper's legs. Well, today, manager Steve Bruce said he would | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
argue his case after been charged with misconduct for comments made at | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
the weekend about the referee Michael Oliver. It followed a | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
penalty decision which saw City lose the game. Simon Clark has been | :10:24. | :10:32. | |
finding out if negative comments about referees is having an effect | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
on grassroots football. The kid who scored should have been on the | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
pitch, in my opinion. You don't get the good decision. He has profited | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
by diving. He has given the penalty against us. | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
It's the currency of Match Of The Day. The post`match comments often | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
contain a spiky remark about the referee. And it's for these words | :11:01. | :11:10. | |
Steve Bruce finds himself in the dock. It is difficult to comment | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
because I will find myself in the dock. There was one which, in my | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
opinion, makes a mockery of it. Show a bit of common sense! The referee | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
has cost them a point. He was cross that this had been given as a | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
penalty ` a decision the officials later considered wrong. Steve | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
Lazenby is responsible for bringing future referees into the game. I | :11:39. | :11:55. | |
have come to the county headquarters of the East Riding. He plays down | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
suggestions that managers and pundits are putting off those who | :12:00. | :12:09. | |
aspire to officiate. I think a lot of people take it as a challenge and | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
throw the gauntlet down, and say, I want to be having a go at that. It | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
is something good for them to get involved in. You can go into the | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
European game and ultimately to the World Cup. The fact remains that no | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
game ` be it in the Premier League or a humble park pitch ` can take | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
place without a man or woman in the middle. | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
Still ahead tonight: A film premiere in Hull tonight against a landmark | :12:40. | :12:40. | |
setting. It is Halloween. Thank you for all | :12:41. | :13:07. | |
the pictures. This carving of a Star Wars character has been sent in by | :13:08. | :13:16. | |
Dawn Wood. Darth Maul. Jennie in Louth sent in these pictures of | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
pumpkins, which she and her family carved. And these were sent in by | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
Peter Robinson and his family ` he says it's a hard way of making | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
pumpkin soup. Happy Halloween. Keeley Cook Donovan, good evening. | :13:32. | :13:40. | |
This one looks likely uses the same fake tan issue. | :13:41. | :13:50. | |
How we laughed. It is going to be allowed to dry | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
evening. Tomorrow will be cloudy with outbreaks of rain. As we go | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
through the rest of the week and weekend, there will be further areas | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
of low pressure pushing up from the South West. Saturday can be very | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
windy. Today, we have had a fair amount of cloud. We have seen some | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
breaks in the cloud. In the short term, it will be largely dry, but | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
later this evening, we will see a few heavy showers spreading down. | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
The whole spreading from the north. A bit of missed and fault. | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
Temperatures back into single figures once again. | :14:32. | :14:48. | |
It will be a bright start to the day tomorrow. It will develop into a | :14:49. | :15:01. | |
miserable day. It will not be particularly breezy. Temperatures | :15:02. | :15:11. | |
rising to around 12 or 13. And miserable cloudy wet day to come. | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
Saturday will be clear and frostily. A decent morning. In the afternoon, | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
a band of rain will spread in from the west. Sunday looks like a | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
glossary day. Last night, somebody wrote, Keeley | :15:34. | :15:46. | |
Donovan with straight hair, ding`dong. Not very PC. Don't be | :15:47. | :15:55. | |
knocking on my door like you did last year. | :15:56. | :15:55. | |
I will not. A growing number of businesses in | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are banning the use of e`cigarettes in | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
their buildings. Train and bus companies, offices and some pubs are | :16:06. | :16:16. | |
concerned about how it looks. The electronic cigarettes turn nicotine | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
into a vapour which is inhaled, but the fumes look like smoke and some | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
people say that's confusing. Simon Spark reports. The smoking ban came | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
into effect in 2007. It was pretty straightforward, ban smoking in | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
public places. We have seen increasing confusion because of | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
these, e`cigarettes. They have no tobacco and are exempt from | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
smoke`free legislation. That hasn't stopped them from being banned in | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
council offices, on trains, restaurants and buses. They are | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
banned because it is difficult for our stuff to tell the difference | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
between a traditional cigarette and an e`cigarette. It might send wrong | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
signals to other people on the buses. They are also banned in one | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
of the largest pub chains in the UK, Wetherspoon. If we are busy, we do | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
not know if it is from a cigarette or an e`cigarette. It is to make it | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
consistent. Martin started using them a year and a half ago, and | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
thinks a perception of them has a long way to go. I think the balance | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
is wrong and people are against them for the wrong reasons. If somebody | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
lights up a cigarette now, you would smelly straightaway. I think it is | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
quite easy to tell the difference. Adel shows her view. She has taken | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
over a pub and told her Christmas there welcome to use them. We have a | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
lot of local customs, regulars. To be honest, people know not to | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
smoking pubs now. There are about 1.3 million users of the cigarette | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
in the UK, a figure that has quadrupled in the last three years. | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
Because of that, some public health bodies want to see them classed as a | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
medicine so they can be regulated and licensed. Would that affect what | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
people can use them? I do think there should be smoked anywhere if | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
there were classed as medication. I think most people wouldn't mind as | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
long as it is not a real cigarette. That is different from smoking. They | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
are designed to look like cigarettes, and that is why we treat | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
them like we do. The popularity of these continues to increase. What is | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
socially acceptable continues to be accepted. | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
I would be keen to get your views on this one as well. What do you think? | :18:41. | :19:01. | |
The power Company RWE had its planning application for ten wind | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
turbines ` the height of Lincoln Cathedral ` rejected at a meeting of | :19:06. | :19:13. | |
West Lindsey Council last night. This was the reaction of opponents | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
of the wind farm proposed for Hemswell Cliff. Is this a the | :19:17. | :19:27. | |
company may now appeal. We had a lot of response after we | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
covered this story last night. With We'd like to invite you to come to | :19:30. | :20:37. | |
our party for Children In Need. The fair for Pudsey with a mini funfair | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
and entertainment takes place at the Sirius Academy in Hull on 15th | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
November. You can arrive any time from half five, but you do need to | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
book your free tickets through our reception in Hull. | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
The engineering of a major piece of art for Heathrow airport took place | :20:52. | :21:08. | |
in Hull. Now this film of how it was made is being projected onto the | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
side of the Deep Aquarium. Caroline Bilton is there ahead of the | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
screening. Is this unusual for the Deep to be used as a backdrop for a | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
film premiere? Peter, this is a first for Hull. I was given a sneak | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
preview of what it will look like. It will go on show in ten minutes | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
time. This is what it will look like. It is pretty atmospheric on | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
this riverfront. It tells the story of slipstream, this sculpture that | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
will greet passengers in terminal two, Heathrow. It has been made | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
possible by engineering here in Hull. The artist behind it has come | :21:45. | :22:02. | |
to see this film. We are launching a very horizontal piece of | :22:03. | :22:20. | |
architecture. At a time when Hull is trying to become a City of Culture, | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
this is seen as a way of telling people what we are both in | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
broadcasting our achievements to wider audience. I spoke to the man | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
behind the bid, to ask what he thinks this says about the cultural | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
ambitions of Hull. It is important people see you as an important | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
cultural place, not just a city at the end of a railway line that | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
nobody goes to. It is important, because we can and do do these | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
things. The film is going to be playing on a continuous loop every | :22:56. | :23:03. | |
night between seven and nine. My piece of advice is work North West. | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
It is quite cold. I will look at it on my way home. | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
Christopher Biggins, Bob Carolgees and Spit the Dog have been in Hull | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
to promote their pantomime Jack And The Beanstalk. They entertained | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
half`term crowds in the St Stephen's shopping centre and said they were | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
looking forward to performing at the Hull New Theatre this Christmas | :23:20. | :23:28. | |
season. Here we are. I look around and there are these gorgeous | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
buildings. I think it looks fabulous. I am excited about | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
appearing in Hull. I have known Chris for a while and it will be | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
great to work within. This is a good panto. The pantomime opens in | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
December, Jack and the been stopped. A couple from Lincoln have thanked | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
the RNLI for rescuing their pet dog who fell 40 feet off a cliff near | :23:51. | :24:02. | |
Pembroke in Wales. He is Tom and Kylie Crowe were on holiday when | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
their Chocolate Labrador Spice accidentally fell 12 metres into the | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
sea. In breach is He was swimming for 40 minutes before lifeboat crew | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
were able to reach him. Just They say they were both in shock when it | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
happened and are unbelievably grateful to the crew. The RNLI say | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
Spice was lucky to survive the fall. For a cat, life couldn't get much | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
better than Graham's. The Staff at the Pets At Home store in Boston in | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
Lincolnshire say he turned up one day and made himself at home. Now | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
he's always there when they open up and they have to throw him out at | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
the end of the day. But has Graham got an owner, Gemma Dawson | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
investigates. New mums and I know what you're thinking. | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
It's not unusual to see animals in a pet store. You know me and you and | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
Minster style But this cat is not for sale. Graham's a regular visitor | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
here ` shunning outside adventure for days at this shop in Boston. And | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
when he first came in, we tried to deter him. He is such a cheeky | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
character we started letting him in. Generally, he tends to play with our | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
ties. He might have a bit of food, little something to drink. | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
Sometimes, he will stay at the hamsters and scratch at the glass. | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
It doesn't worry the hamsters. Graham's been coming here for the | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
last three months. One customer even bought him these treats. But the | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
staff here don't know who owns him. And Graham's not the only cat with | :25:25. | :25:34. | |
an independent streak. Meet Casper ` his owner discovered he's been | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
riding on the buses in Devon. While recently, scientists from the | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
University of Lincoln worked on this documentary showing what cats get up | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
to when we're not looking. Back in Boston, Graham's proving popular | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
with the customers here too. I have not seen many cats who would lie | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
like that and be so quiet and calm. I think he is really, really nice | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
and soft. People are friendly. He is a people car. | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
Graham's now become a bit of a local celebrity. And what does every | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
celebrity need? A stunt double. He is bringing in a couple of friends, | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
one who looks very similar to Graham, and another little black cat | :26:19. | :26:20. | |
comes in as well. So if word spreads, this store could | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
end up with a few more feline friends. | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines. | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
A day of revelations at the "hacking" trial. ?120 for | :26:36. | :26:56. | |
unauthorised school absences. Three times as many families are given | :26:57. | :27:04. | |
fines. Response on taking children out of school. Somebody says, why | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
are teachers allowed to strike if one day out of school is so | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
important? Somebody else says, the government should put pressure on | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
holiday companies. Barry says, as someone who regularly skip school | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
and never got the education available, I think parents should | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
think about the true saving beyond finance. Brenda says, there should | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
be a two`week amnesty for family holidays and no relief granted other | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
than that except for exceptional circumstances. Join me for the radio | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
if you can. Planet Earth - it's unique. | :27:42. | :28:25. | |
It has life. To understand why, we're going to | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
build a planet...up there. | :28:30. | :28:36. |
