22/06/2014 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

Hello from BBC Look North. Police are questioning a man and a woman

after a newborn baby was fotnd dead in Hull. The body of the girl was

found last night. Officers were called to East Hull

after the baby girl was found yesterday evening alongside this

path in the city. The area was sealed off for many hours as police

investigated. Humberside Police say it was a member of the publhc who

found a baby's body near thhs cycle path and close to Rockford @venue

last night just after seven o'clock. You can tell by the police tape

that's here today that therd was a very large area cordoned off so that

police could come in and recover the body and also start their initial

enquiries. Two people have been arrested. A man and a woman.

Tonight, they remain in polhce custody.

A second person has been arrested in connection with the murder of a

Chinese student in Lincoln. The body of Mingzi Yang, who was 29 `nd from

China, was discovered in a house on Sincil Bank on Tuesday. A m`n was

arrested and released on bahl earlier this week.

Labour MPs in East Yorkshird and Lincolnshire are calling for tougher

fines for companies which rdfuse to pay the national minimum wage. It

follows the Employment Minister s call for farmers to employ lore

British`born workers, rather than migrants. Hull MP Karl Turndr claims

some firms are taking advantage of overseas workers. I think one of the

reasons people employ peopld from overseas, frankly, is because they

get away with paying them the national minimum wage. That's the

reality. And this idea that British workers are less able to put in a

hard day's grafting than solebody from overseas is just nonsense,

frankly. Health workers in Scunthorpd are

worried new mums still feel uncomfortable about breast`feeding

in public. They say it's ond of the reasons breast`feeding rates in

North Lincolnshire are below the national average. Gemma Dawson

reports. New mums are often told abott the

benefits of breast`feeding their babies. But some can feel

uncomfortable doing this in public. You get a few funny looks, which

always make you a little bit unsure. You do look round first and think,

is it OK to feed? Will anyone say anything? Last year, we told you

about the young mum asked to breast` feed her baby in a train tohlet And

here in Scunthorpe, health workers are worried women still feel a

stigma around feeding in front of people. There was an Ofsted for one

of the children's centres and it said, despite work that's bding

done, breast` feeding rates remain stubbornly low. Therefore, we looked

at some of the reasons behind that. And it was that some mums dhd not

want to breast`feed in publhc, because of stigma or confiddnce

In North Lincolnshire, 63% of babies are breast`fed from birth. Compared

with nearly 74% nationally. But by the time they are six to eight weeks

old, just a third of babies in North Lincolnshire are still recehving

breast milk. Compared to ne`rly half across England.

So now, a new project is encouraging mums to breast`feed together. I

caught up with this group at The Pods leisure centre. For thd first

five weeks, I was just stuck at home every day. And then, the group was

the first place I actually fed in public. The group really helped me

to sort of know how to do it sort of discreetly. And that's the thing I

was worried about most, I think Mums really do need the confidence

to go out in public and feed comfortably. And this group are

inspiring mums to do just that. These women now hope other new mums

will join them. Hull FC are tenth in the Super

League after a narrow loss to Catalan Dragons. The Black `nd

Whites lost 20 points to 16 in France yesterday afternoon.

Now for the weather. Hello there, good evening. Things

going downhill this week, btt very slowly. Increasing risk of showers

later on in the week. Out there at the moment, the odd light shower.

But generally a fine end to the day with some sunshine. The clotd will

remain broken overnight and temperatures in towns and chties

falling back to 13 or 14 degrees. 13 is 55 Fahrenheit. That little bit

cooler out in the countryside. So, into tomorrow, it will for the

bulk of the day be largely dry and bright once again. It will feel warm

too, with broken cloud and sunny spells. Temperatures getting up into

the early 20s once again. Around 21 degrees the high, which is 70

Fahrenheit. Into tomorrow evening, the increased risk of showers. So

the first half of next week looks largely settled and dry. Just the

odd shower. Increasing risk of showers and getting cooler by

Thursday onwards. We'll be back later tonight at

10:20pm for more of the day's news. Joiners then if you can. Goodbye for

Good evening. After the weekend that has made many of us in warm

sunshine, prospects are set fair for the beginning of the new week.

Tomorrow we will see more sunny spells across the British Isles and
