13/02/2017 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

A popular teacher and footballer who died during a game -

tributes are paid by pupils and friends.

He was the coolest of cool lads, really, who all of the young people

in the school looked up to, and I will miss him greatly.

A trawlermen's strike in Iceland, but what's that got to do

There's just 100 boxes of cod when there would normally be 1,000.

Eight weeks on, supplies are just dwindling.

It means people have got to source fish elsewhere, and that, in turn,

You have paid your hard earned money and worked all week... We will

bounce back. Sorry is not the hardest word -

a football manager takes the unusual step of apologising in person

to fans after a big defeat. Treasure hunters are on the look-out

for valuable gold statues And mild weather on the way this

week. Join me for the weekend forecast following in 15 minutes.

A headteacher says a community's been left devastated

after the sudden death of one of its teachers.

James Moorfoot, who was just 28, collapsed during a football match

Today, pupils and staff have laid flowers at the school in Hornsea,

where James was a popular English teacher.

The football team he played for says they're "numb with grief".

His students describe him as an inspiration -

someone you could banter with, but also someone you could turn

He was just somebody that was so laid back.

He was the coolest of cool lads, really, who all the young people

in the school looked up to, and I will miss him greatly.

On Saturday afternoon, James Moorfoot was here playing

football with his team, Langtoft AFC.

Suddenly he collapsed and paramedics and the Yorkshire air

ambulance were both called, but despite their efforts

Today dozens of flowers and footballs were laid

at Hornsea School and Learning College.

Lessons were rearranged and special assemblies held to help pupils

and staff come to terms with what's happened.

Our school community is absolutely devastated by the news.

I think the youngsters are realising that they need to support the staff

and the staff need to support the youngsters, and this

will test as more than it has ever tested us before.

This isn't the first time the school has had to cope with the sudden

Six years ago, 15-year-old Josh Fell died while playing football.

Sudden deaths such as these are rare and it is still not known exactly

how James died. But those who knew James through his

love of football have also His team-mates at Langtoft were too

upset to speak on camera. They say they have been

left numb with grief. They describe James as someone

who had a humour and an energy which lit up a room,

and say he will be dearly Tributes have been left

for James online too. A Facebook tribute page has been set

up in his memory. His students are planning to hold a

charity football match in his honour, a lasting tribute to a

teacher they will never forget. A court has heard claims that a

police investigation into the sale of retirement Chalets is missing

details. William Flanagan is allegedly on trial for selling

holiday Chalets on the basis they could be lived in year-round. His

defence claimed an agreement between the Humberside Police and a firm of

solicitors which meant statements from residents were vetted from

being included in the criminal investigation.

Caroline Bilton was in court and joins me now.

19 people claim they were dishonestly told they could live

on Lakeminster park all year round by the park

He's accused of ten counts of fraud by misrepresentation.

Today one of the former residents of Lakeminster Park, Stephen Ryan,

Stephen and his wife Janet moved into their home

They were looking for somewhere to retire -

a place they could live all year round - and they believed

They claim that the first they heard that their new home could only be

used for "holiday use" was when they picked up their keys

to move into the chalet and were presented with a licence

agreement that described their chalet as a holiday home.

The Ryans are among a group of 59 people who were represented

by Gosschalks solicitors in a separate civil

Questioning Mr Ryan today in court was Christopher Harding

for the defence, acting on behalf of Mr Flannagan.

The jury heard how statements for the police made by Stephen Ryan

were "vetted" first by the solicitors firm as part

of an "agreed protocol between Humberside Police and Gosschalks."

Mr Harding for the defence said "Gosschalks had a fairly aggressive

stance in relation to how they wanted their clients

They didn't want anything police did to impair their civil claims."

The court also heard allegations of how information had not been

passed on to police that could have helped them with their criminal

When did residents learn that their homes were

In the case of Stephen Ryan, they claim, his claim is the first he was

told about it was when he first turned up to pick up his keys in

January 2010, and he was handed a license agreement which described

his chalet as a holiday home. He said that was the first he had heard

about it and he put his concerns to Mr Flanagan, who told him not to

worry. Today the court was shown a license agreement outlining the

restrictions that had been signed by Mr Ryan and his wife three months

prior to that date. Mr Ryan said he could not explain how their

signatures had ended up on such a document, he stood by the fact that

he had not seen a licence... A signed license agreement before that

day he moved in. In questioning Mr Ryan, Christopher Harding for the

defence said,... William Flanagan denies ten counts

of fraud by misrepresentation and the case continues.

We will let you know what happens. It is a dispute that's happening

almost 1,000 miles away, but a strike by Icelandic fisherman

is starting to have an impact. A limited supply means

a quarter of workers at Grimsby's Fish Market have

been laid off. It's also affecting prices

and what type of fish Our business correspondent,

Leanne Brown spent the morning Today's catch comes from Scotland,

Norway and the Faroe Islands, as the effects of the strike

by Icelandic fishermen takes hold. When a major supplier

like Iceland suddenly stops, it means that people have got

to source their fish elsewhere, which then in turn puts pressure

on price, but in all cases, and particularly in

Grimsby Fish Market, we are a volume-based business,

so we need the volume of fish As a result of that,

we've had to make some adjustments. We are still looking

at the number of redundancies. 75% of the fish that

comes into Grimsby docks is usually from Iceland,

but not today. There's just 100 boxes of cod,

when there would normally be 1000. Icelandic fisherman grounded

their vessels over pay and conditions in December last

year, and there's no end in sight. It means it's a struggle for fish

merchants to sometimes Very little supply coming

through since the Icelandic strike, which is now eight weeks on,

and suppliers are just dwindling. We have got a lot of focus

on the Scottish fish It is a very difficult start

to the year, so hopefully things will pick up now and we just need

to get Iceland back, really. There are lots of different

varieties that we get out of Iceland that just go the length and breadth

of the country. We do need the problem sorted out

because it is affecting us all because none of us

are earning any money. Preparing for a charity

Valentine's meal tomorrow, one local chef says you just

have to adapt. The lemon sole has been

a struggle at the minute, and the quality has not

been very good. It is the flatfish part, because it

mostly comes from Iceland, so we just change our menu according

to what is coming in and what is It's hoped the situation will be

resolved before consumers have to pay higher prices

for their fish-and-chip supper. Leanne Brown,

BBC Look North, Grimsby. We will be talking to the Grimsby MP

Melanie Onn later on tonight You might also have

a view on this story. You heard there that there might be

changes to the fish we eat If you work in the fish processing

industry, are you losing money? Do you own a business and is it

affecting you? You worry that it will do damage to Grimsby? Contact

us. Not just if you are in Grimsby but

anywhere on that one and we will have some of that response before we

finish at 7pm live on television. I look forward to hearing from you.

Two people have died in a crash in South Lincolnshire.

A car and a lorry collided on the A16 between Crowland

and Cowbit at around 4.30 this morning.

A woman in her seventies, and a man, died.

Hospital bosses say it's important that people have their say on plans

to close an East Midlands children's heart unit.

NHS England has recommended an end to surgery at Glenfield Hospital

in Leicester, which is used by families in Lincolnshire,

as part of a review of services across the country.

A consultation was launched on Thursday.

Hull College has been criticised by the Government for how it's

handling its finances after a report revealed it was millions

The College, which runs vocational and degree-level courses,

is expected to make further losses this year according to the review by

Katy Austin has been following this story and is live

Well, they've got much worse recently.

This new report from the further education commissioner says that

for three out of the past four years, Hull College just hasn't been

Over that time it's built up a deficit of ?10 million.

Colleges rely a lot on Government funding,

and the college has had less coming in,

but the criticism is over the way it's been adapting to that

The report says the college has tried to solve its cashflow

problems by cutting jobs and selling off property.

Those money-saving efforts haven't worked, and in October the College

In fact, its University and College Union had a dispute

last year over redundancies, and has in fact today called

for the CEO Gary Warke to resign over the criticisms of financial

management in the commisioner's report.

Does this reflect any broader struggles in further education?

Earlier, I spoke to the chief executive

of the independent organisation the Learning and Work Institute.

He told me lots of further education colleges across the country

are struggling but they have to find ways of bringing in enough money.

We will argue for greater investment by the Government in learning,

and we think that is essential to the future of our country,

but colleges and training providers need to work with employers

and individuals as well to help them increase their own investment

And what's Hull College said about its situation?

We asked for an interview but the college sent us

The college's education provision was most recently

rated as Good by Ofsted, but a lot of work needs to be

done to make sure it can survive financially.

It needs to be financially sustainable for the future.

It is good to have your company and thank you for watching.

Still ahead tonight: An increase in demand for first-aid lessons

after the death of a five-year-old boy who choked at school.

And there's a hunt for gold statues worth thousands of pounds

Do not miss that one in Scunthorpe. Now here is a picture of snowdrops,

and the snowdrops are out and things are getting better. A cold day? Good

evening. How are you? You all sort those leggings on the

programme on Friday. We have a tweet from Spain saying the leggings are

available at ?33 per pair. Can you imagine the thought of people

walking around on a beach with Peter Leavy leggings?

It is a new career low... Get on with the forecast. Most of the

e-mails I have had are not broadcast of all, I must say.

Let's look at the headlines for the next 24 hours. Not looking bad and

we should have blue sky tomorrow with some sunshine once low cloud

disappears. There is Wednesday's chart and the theme is milder air

coming in for the second half of the week. Once this feature gets through

later on Wednesday we should have temperatures at ten or 11 Celsius on

Thursday and Friday. We will lose those easterly winds and get milder

south-westerly winds. Low cloud still in coastal areas at the

moment. Elsewhere, clear spells. Where you have got some shelter from

that really stiff, easterly breeze, there could be a touch of ground

frost. The lowest temperature is one Celsius or 34 Fahrenheit. No frost

along the coast with the sea breeze. Sunrises and sunsets time here...

Next high water time in Bridlington at 6:35am. Any low cloud, I think,

first thing, we'll clear and then there should be lots of blue sky and

hazy sunshine. A bit of pollution coming up from the south, so I think

bright rather than sunny, but there will be bright skies for many of us

and then cloud increasing from the south-west later in the afternoon.

It stays dry. A windy one along the coast but temperatures up slightly

compared with today. Seven Celsius which is 45 Fahrenheit, eight or

nine Celsius in self ligature into North West Norfolk. Overcast again

on Wednesday. Patchy rain Tuesday night and late Wednesday to

Wednesday night, Thursday and Friday should brighten up. Dry and bright

with sunny spells and temperatures around ten or 11 Celsius. Peter,

that is the forecast. Hopefully you can buy yourself a

pair of those. Appleby in the bargain bucket by

then. See you tomorrow.

It's been ten days since five-year-old Thedore Silvester died

Since his death, first-aid experts have told Look North they have been

inundated with requests for training from schools.

Fundraising is also underway to get specialist equipment put

into primary schools across the area.

It was a lunch break that ended in tragedy. It is a wiki since families

started to lay flowers in memory of Theodore Silvester, who died after

choking at school. -- it is one week since. In response to his death a

community group has started fundraising for anti-choking

equipment. You pull up hard and look for a

result that it works. This kind of mass can be used when

the Heimlich manoeuvre does not work. This father of three once in

every school in Hull and East Riding.

We only had the funds for 18 units but we wanted to get it into as many

schools as possible so we are raising money on an internet page to

save as many lives as possible. This primary School will be one of

the first to have one, a decision the school says was easy following

the news of Theodore 's death. When something like this happens,

you think of the impact that has on the family and friends of that child

and the school as well and it is a horrific thing to happen. We want to

do everything we can, which in this case involves accepting this

generous help to make sure it does not happen here.

Like many schools, the staff here are mostly first aid trained and

children eating lunch today were aware of which foods to eat

carefully. You do not just take one bite of the

Apple and swallow it, you take tiny bites so you do not swallow it all.

The crisps are big and you have to shoot them properly or else they

could stay in your throat. Parents are still advised to try

back blows and abdominal thrusts first if the child is joking.

Make a fist and up to five abdominal thrusts.

-- if the child is choking. Here, they say there has been

unprecedented interest in the first aid courses.

If you have beer on a course and through the steps he would go

straight into it in a real situation -- if you have been on a first aid

course you will go straight into it if it is real with the adrenaline.

They say three lives have already been saved. Hopefully most will not

ever need to use these skills. Some good things coming out of bad

things. Another story you might want to comment on. If you have any

stories, drop us an e-mail and we will give you the details and phone

number. I look forward to reading your responses.

It was a weekend of apologies in sport.

A leading referee apologised to Hull City for allowing an Arsenal

goal against them and Grimsby Town's manager said sorry to the fans.

Our sports reporter Simon Clark has the details.

So why did Marcus Bignot apologise to the Mariners, Simon?

The scoreline was bad enough but opponents Crewe had not

That's why Marcus Bignot felt he had to make peace with the fans.

This was a match that was over for the Mariners as soon as it began.

The opponents, Crewe, scored from their first clear

chance and, for Grimsby, it went downhill after that.

Marcus Bignot's side seemed to have no answer to the onslaught.

For half an hour, they were 4-0 down.

At the end of the match, it was five, and that is why

Marcus Bignot made this personal apology to 740 travelling fans.

You have paid your hard earned money, and you work all week,

Nigel and the Cleethorpes Chronicle was there as a fan and he

I think most of the reaction that I have had, 90% has been,

good on him for doing it and he was very brave to do it.

I wear my heart on my sleeve, and there's times when you have got

to be a manager and then sometimes, you know, you've got

to appreciate the supporters and what they are going through.

In the Premier League, this goal got tongues

Mark Clattenburg, recently regarded as the best referee in the world,

consulted, gave it and later apologised for doing so.

It was disappointing and, obviously, they should have been a bit more

confidence to keep the ball and take that time, so it was

disappointing but, as I say, if the referee has not seen it...

Clattenburg could also have given a red card for this

but opted to save Mr Gibbs from the early shower.

And he was left with no choice but to give a penalty and a red card

for this deliberate handball and the last second.

Scunthorpe United suffered a second straight defeat

They stay second in League 1 ahead of the game against Walsall.

There is a chance to find some modern-day treasure

An art exhibition is opening in the town and the paintings

will contain within them clues for a special treasure hunt.

Anyone can take part and the prize is real gold.

Artist Luke Jerram is hiding solid-gold objects in and around

If you find it, you keep it - simple as that.

I had this idea to, sort of, think about celebrating the history

of Scunthorpe by taking five objects from the museum, and we have scanned

them, and created, sort of, replicas in solid gold,

and then we are going to be hiding those objects across Scunthorpe

But finding these solid-gold objects will not be that easy.

Treasure hunters will have to crack a code which is hidden in paintings

to be displayed at the 20-21 Gallery in town.

There are five paintings and five objects, and they range

There will be one painting that will be so easy for people

to work out the code that even my ten-year-old daughter

should be able to work out where the gold is hidden.

The man who created the codes is mathematician Dan Fretwell

So, how many people know the answers to the codes that you have set?

How difficult are the safers that you have set with him?

Yeah, so some of them are really difficult.

There is five in total and one of them is supposed

The final two in particular are much harder, so we are

One of them might go unsolved for quite a while.

And the director of the art centre where the code paintings will be

Can we come with you to help to hide the objects?

Well, funnily enough, you are not the first person to ask that.

There have been a few people suggesting they follow me around,

It's going to be under the cover of darkness and no one

is going to know when we're hiding them or where we are hiding them.

It was worth a try. Yeah.

Keeley Donovan, BBC Look North, Scunthorpe.

This sounds great that there are five of them and each one is worth

?1000. And you can find out more about how

to find that gold on Inside Out If you want to find the gold in

Scunthorpe next weekend, more details in half an hour's time. That

is at 7:30pm. Let's get a recap of the national

and regional headlines: A BBC undercover investigation reveals

widespread drug abuse and security failings at one

of Britain's biggest prisons. Tributes are paid to a popular

teacher and amateur footballer who died during a game

in East Yorkshire at the weekend. Tomorrow's weather: Any low cloud

clearing then dry and bright Talking about the problems in

Grimsby with fishing, and we will be returning to that story in our late

bulletin at 10:30pm, talking to the MP for Grimsby. Ken from Spalding

said, why can't fishermen from Grimsby go out and catch more fish

if they can't get it elsewhere? Pat says the sooner we are out of the EU

we will get a fishing fleet back. And Angie says, this is why I voted

to leave the EU, because we need our fishing fleet back so we will not

have to suffer when the Icelandic go on strike. Briefly, on the subject

of Theodore, who choked at school over a week ago, Simon says, maybe

it is time all school staff from teachers to dinner ladies were

trained because one loss of life is too many. Somebody says, my

great-niece swallowed a marble at school and if it was not for the

dinner lady it would have been fatal, so all staff should be

taught. It is important, but more are taught.

Right, here we come, Dorset! ..for a show day.
