Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

The former soldier warning others about adverts asking for cash -

A deal saying it would be a certain amount every hour, guarantedd 2

amount every hour, guaranteed 25 hours a week. That was it, there is

no preparation for civilian life. a code-word to summon help

if they feel threatened by a dodgy I am not talking about not fancying

them, I am talking about fedling them, I am talking about fedling

tomorrow, I am back later whth all the details.

There are calls to night for Army veterans to be given more support

veterans to be given more stpport when they leave the military.

An army veteran from Hull s`ys he's been the victim of a scam -

after paying hundreds of potnds to a company advertising jobs

Lewis Papa is warning others after responding to an advert

in an army magazine which offered training and a job, in exch`nge

But he says no work has ever materialised.

After serving in the Army, including a tour of Afghanistan,

Lewis Papa from Hull wanted to leave to spend more time

When he saw an advert in an Army magazine to become a private

investigator, he thought he had found a solution.

They sent me a deal, basically, saying it would be

a certain amount an hour, you'd be guaranteed 25 hours a week

but you would be working up to 5 hours a week and yeah,

it just looked like too good to be true and it turns out it was.

Lewis paid ?475 for a four-lonth online training course

from the PI Resource Centre but after successfully completing

the course, he has since been unable to contact the company.

I don't think it's right because we are so secluded

from the outside world so you put a lot of trust in these companies

that obviously advertise in these magazines, getting a real job

The stress, not sleeping, I think he felt that it was his fault because

he thought he had the job. Ht did he thought he had the job. It did

have a massive impact on us. For several weeks we have tried

to contact the PI Resource Centre and its managing director

Patrick Carter, without success. During our research we have

discovered several online forums which suggest other people have

fallen victim to the company. The pitfalls that exist

in civilian life don't Everything you do,

you're trained for. You know, everywhere you go,

you are prepared for. So when you get to the end

of your service life and yot walk out that gate for the last

time, and the military There is no preparation

for civilian life. Lewis is now getting work experience

with a wind energy company but he says his experience

with the PI Resource Centre Kate joins me now -

what have the MOD said about The Ministry of Defence says

the government is absolutely committed to the wellbeing

of our Armed Forces and veterans. It says it has support scheles

in place for those who struggle to find work once they leavd

the armed forces. But it is a fact that Veter`ns

are more likely to be unemployed - And this has led to calls for more

support to be available. One of the uncomfortable

facts about Lewis's case is that the advert he says

was posted in an army magazhne, so it is particularly

targeting military personnel, and as we heard in the report,

they live a more closeted life and may not be aware

of the potential pitfalls of such schemes which ask

you to pay up front. The advice is be careful of paying

upfront and trust your instincts - if it feels too good to be true -

it just might be. Is there enough support for people

leaving the armed forces? Should they be given help to look

for work once their time It's a simple idea that's gdtting

worldwide recognition. 'Ask Angela' is a personal safety

campaign that's been The idea is that by using a simple

codeword in bars or clubs you'll be able to get help if you feel

threatened on a night out. With the rise of online dathng

safety campaigners say knowing there are people around who know how

to act if help is needed is vital. The way we meet and socialise

is changing with social Dating websites are becoming more

and more popular but that can mean meeting relative strangers hs more

commonplace which can also be These are the reasons behind this

poster campaign and Handed out to bars in the pub watch

scheme across Lincolnshire, asking for Angela gives people a way

to discretely ask for help, Let's say you have met somebody

on tinder, you go on a date I am not talking about not fancying

them, you begin to feel threatened. You can go up to the bar and ask

for some support so you do not have to say can I speak to Angela,

but you can just ask for support. It is a get out of jail card,

really. With social media, fake

profiles it is dangerous. Most adult victims are

aged between 18 and 34. With the highest proportion

of offences committed between midnight and 1am

on all days of the week. In most rape offences,

the offender was in a relationship with the victim and of all sexual

offences reported come almost University student Isabel s`w

the poster and thought it was a good The council have had

requests for information This was the headline

in the Sydney Morning Herald. I took a photo to spread awareness

and it when viral. I didn't expect it to but I am

pleased it has because it If everyone had a similar scheme,

a lot less damage would be done I know friends that would h`ve used

it if they had known. They did not know about it

at the time but I'm sure It is a simple idea on a serious

subject and thanks to one tweet, it Simon Spark BBC Look North,

Lincoln We will be asking for

your views on this one. Rachel Griffin is from the Suzy

Lamplugh Trust, which campaigns Tonight I asked her whether

Lincolnshire had got it right We are really encouraged by the Ask

Angela scheme in Lincolnshire because it gives a clear message

to women who may be experienced harassment or feel they are at risk

on a night out, it gives the message of the pubs and clubs are t`king

responsibility for looking out for their safety

and the night-time economy says this Online dating is growing at such

a pace, you must be worried about that and is the pub the right

place to meet the person Well, we're not worried

about the growth of online dating. It is part of everyday life

but we would recommend men or women, if meeting

someone for the first time, whether a dating situation

or otherwise, meeting them in a public place like a pub

is a good idea. And letting someone know

where you are going, who you are meeting and that

you are home safely And how do you strike that balance

between wanting to be safe and sensible and not making people

feel nervous and vulnerable? So we think it is important people

have the confidence to live life Letting people know if something

does happen to them there is someone they can tell and someone they can

trust to take the right acthon like finding a properly licdnsed

minicab to get them home safely. What occurred to me is this

is dealing with the problem once it is a problem rather than not

getting into that situation in the first place but I don't

have an answer for that. I think there are lots of things

we can do to improve our personal safety such as, for example,

if you're going out on the night out, make sure you have a safe way

of getting home but I think the other argument is tacklhng

the behaviour at its root. It is not for women or men

necessarily to change their behaviour but to give

the message if people do harass others, give them unwanted

attention on a night out, So, well done to Lincolnshire

for this scheme then? Another one you may want to get

in contact with us on - would you feel safer

if the Ask Angela How much difference will

it really make? And what about the role

of social media in dating? A Ukip MEP has failed in her bid

to be granted immunity by the European Parliament

after she libelled three MPs. Jane Collins, who represents

Yorkshire and the Humber was hoping to avoid paying hundreds

of thousands of pounds in d`mages to the Labour MPs from Rotherham,

after falsely claiming they knew about the grooming and rape

of hundreds of girls in the town. It is two years since Joan Collins

made a speech at her party annual conference in Doncaster that the

three whatever MPs, John Hilley Kevin Barron and Sarah Champion had

known for a long long time `bout Kevin Barron and Sarah Champion had

known for a long long time about the mass of grooming and rape of

hundreds of young girls in the town. They immediately said that was a lie

and a year later in the High Court in London, a judge agreed. But it

took another year before a hearing was held to determine damagds.

took another year before a hearing was held to determine damages. And

was held to determine damagds. And that was the time back in May this

year when Jane Collins pulldd what year when Jane Collins pulled what

she thought was a trump card of immunity. When the vote went ahead,

Jane Collins was absent frol the chamber and it took MEPs very little

time to make their minds up. In fact, less than 30 seconds. We are

pleased by the decision, shd fact, less than 30 seconds. We are

pleased by the decision, she cannot pleased by the decision, she cannot

hide behind her European st`tus for hide behind her European status for

British justice and we look forward to seeing her in the High Court to

answer further things she s`id two answer further things she said two

years ago. And the chance to get justice. It had not escaped MP s

notice that here was an MEP from a party that wants to get rid of all

European institutions wanting to use one of those same institutions to

try and avoid paying damages. Apart from the Ukip dimension, the

hypocrisy, to try to hide bdhind hypocrisy, to try to hide behind

parliamentary immunity and say I do not need to face prosecution because

I am a member of Parliament made eyebrows rise. Jane Collins has

given no interviews since the vote. She has issued what is seen as a

defiant press release... She would have to go back to court

and those three MPs say the damage done by her libellous statements

were so great that they are demanding ?150,000 each in damages

plus costs. It is up to the judge to decide how much she must pax

plus costs. It is up to the judge to decide how much she must pay and

decide how much she must pax and that could take some weeks if

decide how much she must pay and that could take some weeks hf not

that could take some weeks if not months to decide.

Work on the first figures for a new memorial to honour six

thousand trawlermen from Hull who died at sea is under wax.

Hull depended on fishing for its living until the decline

When it's complete the steel sculpture will form part

of a remembrance garden at St Andrews Dock

next to the Humber - an area which was once one

For nearly 150 years, different trawlers would head out

from St Andrews dock on the Humber looking for fish.

At one point Hull was the greatest distance fishing port in thd world.

Not everyone on board these boats would return.

Each year a service is held in the city for the 6,000 trawlermen

For many years there has bedn a campaign for a memorial to be

built to them and today forler trawlermen and relatives of those

who were lost at sea gathered to see the work done.

It is well worth it now to see it actually

The actual detail and everything on them is brilliant.

That weathered iron ends up looking like this.

Two figures of a total of 13 which will be right

One of the qualities I'm trxing to get is the silhouette will cast

Seeing part of the memorial for the first time, is provhng

I think of my brothers who were lost at sea.

There are fewer and fewer people directly associated with thd fishing

industry but there are lots and lots of distant relativds

who still want somewhere to go to to reflect and

Today Bridlington was announced as one

stage the Tour de Yorkshire next April, with one of the main legs

of the race starting or finhshing in the town.

Well, most people have been enthusiastic. Even if they confessed

they did not know that much about cycling. Today, Bridlington has been

bustling with people on half term and organisers are hoping bx next

April, it will be even busier and that will justify that cost of

hosting the event. A picturdsque hosting the event. A picturesque

seaside resort but in April Bridlington will be transformed into

a mecca for cyclists with dozens of professional riders coming here for

the third events and judging by the local enthusiasm, they will get a

warm welcome. Very pleased for the town because when the tour started

there was a lot of interest. It is a boost for the area and we h`ve

- but Percy the cat is not a stray - but he might try and

convince you otherwise. At his best he is method acting

he acts as if he is homeless. I have seen him with umpteen

people feeding him. I know he has been fed

five minutes before. Percy's favourite spot

on the avenues is a clothing shop - but he's a bit particular

about where he sits. We have tried everything

from designer shirts but he prefers to climb in the bucket or the big

trunk at the back or sit outside and get sympathy

and pretend he's cold. Percy has been taken twice by people

who thought he was a stray , now businesses owners

are using social media to inform At this time of year,

we get freshers from university local people and many people think

he is homeless and we do not We did find Percy's owner

who says his cat lost his collar Maybe it is due to his age,

14 years old. But the vet said white

cats are peculiar. He may look like a stray -

but Percy is street smart - and probably the best

fed cat in Hull! Non-stray cat news. A reminder of

The response on the subject of life after being in the services, Paul

says I cannot support the calls for more help for those leaving the

armed forces, it is a controlled environment but they know how the

real world works. And this hs told real world works. And this is told

as our tour to trust their comrades and it is essential, so when they

arrive in the jungle that is to be street, they will easily fall prey

to scammers offering work. As a country we spend far more

looking after ex prisoners than we do ex servicemen and if it

wasnt for people like The Royal British Legion

and similar organizations it They deserve better help

and dont complain enough. Why should they even

have to look for work They should be looked

after for being in the army. More on Grimsby paving later. See
