back with the late news Hello and welcome to Look North. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Farmers in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are asking party goers | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
not to release sky lanterns this New Year's Eve. The small hot air | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
balloons which are made of paper have been linked to fires and the | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
death of livestock when the fallen litter is eaten by cattle. But | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
unlike other countries, the Government hasn't imposed a ban. | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
Linsey Smith reports. A spectacular skyline, or flying | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
bonfires. These lanterns cause real concern to cattle farmers like Chris | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
Hewis. I couldn't understand why they were all gathered together | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
around the hedgerow, and what I found was these three sky lanterns | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
that were trapped in the hedgerow there. I was alarmed cos it's fallen | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
just 20 metres short of a straw stack, which would've gone up in | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
flames. Chris is asking partygoers not to release them this New Year's | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
Eve. Our neighbour lost a bull. After a wedding in the village, | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
there was lots of sky lanterns sent off. Shortly afterwards, they lost a | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
bull ` it died. The results of a postmortem showed that it had the | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
wire from a sky lantern in it. Lanterns are not just a problem for | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
cattle. A barn owl died in Gloucestershire after becoming | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
entangled in the wire frame. Lanterns, on the left, have been | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
mistaken for distress flares, on the right. It's caused the RNLI to rush | :01:30. | :01:38. | |
to false alarms. And ?6 million worth of fire damage was caused at a | :01:39. | :01:47. | |
recyling plant near Birmingham. Moments before it ignited, CCTV | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
shows a sky lantern drifting into piles of plastic. They're very | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
cheap, aren't they, they're, what, two for ?1, and they're sold as a | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
way to make a wish, but frankly, the wish that we've got and that I hope | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
now that everyone who's listening to this realises how dangerous they can | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
be, the wish is that actually no`one will use them at New Year | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
celebrations, and we can bring in a ban through district councils. | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
Depsite these lanterns being banned in countries including Australia and | :02:13. | :02:13. | |
Germany, Defra have told us: For Chris, New Year's Day will start | :02:14. | :02:29. | |
with early checks to his land for lantern debris. | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
At the moment, it's the only way to ensure his cattle don't get an extra | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
meal which may be their last. A woman's died after being found | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
with life`threatening injuries at a flat on Peel Place in Hull. | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
23`year`old Rebecca Day was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary in the early | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
hours of Sunday morning, but died earlier today. A postmortem | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
examination will now take place to establish how she died. A | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
27`year`old man has been arrested and is being questioned by the | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
police. A man has been charged with arson | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
and endangering the lives of almost 1,000 fellow passengers on a North | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Sea ferry. Six people were winched to safety after the fire late on | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
Saturday night just off the Yorkshire coast. 26`year`old Boden | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
Hughes has been charged with arson and affray. | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
Prison inspectors say there aren't enough medical staff at Lincoln | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Prison to properly meet inmates' health needs. The jail was inspected | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
by the Care Quality Commission in November. The report also | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
highlighted concerns about the way prisoners had to queue to get | :03:33. | :03:41. | |
medication. The Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Trust says it's been | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
working with the prison governor to make improvements. | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
Now I'm sure the Christmas leftovers have gone by now, but one company in | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
East Yorkshire is working flat out to do it on an industrial scale. | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
Brocklesby in Brough converts old cooking oil and waste food into | :03:56. | :04:05. | |
biodiesel and biofuels. It's one of only a handful of factories in the | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
country but it's already a growing industry. Sarah Walton reports. | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
It's not the most appetising sight, but this is what's left over when | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
you cook large amounts of meat. Now, it's getting a new lease of life. We | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
take a range of products from food manufacturers and retailers across | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
the UK and Ireland ranging from oils recovered from rotisseries within | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
the supermarkets, right through to oils recovered from frying pans at | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
crisp manufacturers to produce a biofuel. We use a lot of steam to | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
heat our products and then centifruges to spin out any | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
impurities, to leave a very refined oil. Here in the control room, you | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
can see computers monitoring the reactors. Now, they process about | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
10,000 tonnes of food waste and 50,000 tonnes of oil every year, and | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
are operating 24/7, even through Christmas and the New Year. But | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
while they deal with industrial waste here, we're all being asked to | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
think carefully about leftovers. Earlier this year, fat washed down | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
people's sinks formed the biggest blockage ever found in London | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
sewers, weighing 16 tonnes. Back at the factory, tankers arrive to | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
collect the final product ` 55 million litres of biofuel a year. | :05:17. | :05:26. | |
This goes into diesel cars and lorries. Biofuel is blended with | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
diesel and would be part of the blend you would get at a supermarket | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
or a filling station around the country. It's a dirty job, but | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
biofuel production is a growing industry, and there's hope more | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
companies will start work, turning brown sludge into green fuel. | :05:43. | :05:54. | |
Let's move to sport now, and Scunthorpe United extended their | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
unbeaten run to seven games after beating Oxford United 2`0 yesterday. | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
The Iron now start the new year joint top of the table in League Two | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
on points, just behind Chesterfield on goal difference. Simon Spark | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
reports. It took Scunthorpe united 11 minutes | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
before a cross from Marcus Williams landed perfectly on the head of Deon | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
Burton. This was Burton's fourth goal in as many games for the Iron, | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
and the gap could have been widened, but the chance of a penalty after a | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
handball from Oxford United's Deane Smalley wasn't to be. Instead, the | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
Iron's second goal would come from David Syers in a much better second | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
half. Oxford's best chance came when goalkeeper Sam Slocombe received a | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
yellow card for this foul against James Constable, but managed to | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
correctly predict a save to stop Dean Smalley's attempt. This victory | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
puts them second in the table to Chesterfield with only goal | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
difference between them. A joint top start to the new year. | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
Some of Tom Huddlestone's hair, which was cut off after he scored | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
for Hull City at the weekend, is being auctioned for charity. The | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
midfielder scored his first goal in two`and`a half years against Fulham | :07:01. | :07:09. | |
at the weekend. After scoring for Tottenham in 2011, he pledged to | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
raise money for charity by not cutting his hair until he next found | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
the net. There have been strong winds across | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
much of our region today. This was the scene at Kilnsea in East | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
Yorkshire where high winds battered the coast. Elsewhere 48 mile an hour | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
winds were recored at RAF Scamton, while gusts topped 50 miles an hour | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
in Bridlington and 53 at Donna Nook. Good evening. Well, as the wet and | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
blustery weather front today clears away, it's drier and clearer for | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
much of the night. Cloud thickens up again later. Might see one or two | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
showers sneaking in to the west by the end of the night. Four Celsius, | :07:42. | :07:52. | |
your overnight low. A breeze already starting to pick up. Those showers | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
become more widespread tomorrow morning. Eventually, there'll be a | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
more persistent band of rain spreading from the west, late | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
morning, early afternoon, although most places do dry up again by the | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
end of the day with a bit of brightness. Fresher than today, | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
maybe not as windy, temperatures peaking at nine Celsius in Lincoln. | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
That's 48 Fahrenheit. If you're out and about tomorrow night bringing in | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
the New Year, most places should have some dry weather, still breezy, | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
maybe just the odd shower somewhere like Sheffield, and then if you're | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
out and about on New Year's Day itself, well, the next band of wet | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
and windy weather spreads in from the west, through the course of the | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
day, before we're back to brighter spells and blustery showers on | :08:30. | :08:30. | |
Thursday. Bye for Another day off strong winds, heavy | :08:31. | :08:43. | |
rain and flooding. At least things are quiet at the moment. The rain | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
has cleared off and the wind is lighter. There might be some ice in | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
Scotland, but through the night the wind picks up, lifting temperatures, | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
but more heavy rain pushing in. The rain band is not quite a significant | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
us today, but it will leave surface water flooding. Some heavy bursts | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
clearing Northern Ireland by first | :09:08. | :09:08. |
