The headlines from BBC Look North this Wednesday night:

:00:00.:00:08.

There's been a sharp rise in hate crimes reported to Humberside

:00:09.:00:11.

and Lincolnshire Police since the Brexit vote.

:00:12.:00:15.

I have been a victim of hate, victimised,

:00:16.:00:18.

people have called me names, called terrorist.

:00:19.:00:21.

You kind of get used to it but sometimes,

:00:22.:00:24.

when you are on your own, you get frightened.

:00:25.:00:27.

A hospital trust is told that it must improve following an inspection

:00:28.:00:32.

A Lincolnshire MP adds his voice to calls for the House

:00:33.:00:38.

Record levels of hate crime have been reported by police

:00:39.:01:00.

in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire since the EU referendum in June.

:01:01.:01:05.

A hate crime is any attack which the victim, or anyone else,

:01:06.:01:08.

thinks is based on someone's prejudice towards them

:01:09.:01:12.

because of their race, religion, sexual orientation,

:01:13.:01:15.

disability or because they're transgender.

:01:16.:01:18.

Humberside Police recorded 140 hate crimes between July

:01:19.:01:22.

An increase of 34% compared to the same period in 2015.

:01:23.:01:28.

Lincolnshire Police recorded 78 hate crimes during the same period.

:01:29.:01:33.

Nationally, 14,000 hate crimes were reported between July

:01:34.:01:39.

Our correspondent Vicky Johnson reports from Scunthorpe.

:01:40.:01:46.

In the days since the EU referendum, some members of our community have

:01:47.:01:50.

been telling Humberside Police about the abuse they face.

:01:51.:01:54.

Stuff that we are seeing after Brexit, things like,

:01:55.:01:58.

we voted for leaving the EU, wy are you still here?

:01:59.:02:02.

Basic things along the lines of there's no place in society

:02:03.:02:07.

for your community, go back to your country.

:02:08.:02:10.

Frodingham Road, Scunthorpe, one of the most multicultural

:02:11.:02:13.

People of different nationalities and religions seem to rub along

:02:14.:02:19.

for the most part quite well together, however, some

:02:20.:02:22.

of those we spoke to have suffered racial abuse.

:02:23.:02:25.

Abid Khan says the abuse can be deeply offensive.

:02:26.:02:29.

People call me names, I have been called a terrorist,

:02:30.:02:32.

You name it, lots of things under the sun, I have been called.

:02:33.:02:39.

For Husna and her family the taunting can prove intimidating.

:02:40.:02:45.

They just tell you to take the niqab off, the scarf

:02:46.:02:49.

You kind of get used to it but, you know,

:02:50.:02:55.

sometimes when you are on your own, you get frightened,

:02:56.:02:57.

Chido, who moved from Zimbabwe 12 years ago, thinks people have become

:02:58.:03:05.

At the beginning it was kind of difficult but as the years have

:03:06.:03:10.

gone by, things are starting to get easier because not many people

:03:11.:03:15.

comment or they are adjusting to the difference that we can

:03:16.:03:20.

But that's not always the case in Lincolnshire where there's

:03:21.:03:26.

been great uncertainty since the Brexit vote.

:03:27.:03:28.

This service of friendship was meant to help heal divisions.

:03:29.:03:32.

And the police say they're encouraging all victims of hate

:03:33.:03:35.

As much as it's terrible that these incidents occur at all,

:03:36.:03:41.

it is good news that people are feeling that Lincolnshire Police

:03:42.:03:45.

can be trusted with that information and that we will do something

:03:46.:03:48.

While there has been an increase in the number of hate crimes

:03:49.:03:53.

reported to both the Humberside and Lincolnshire Police forces,

:03:54.:03:56.

the number of cases is still relatively low compared

:03:57.:04:00.

Unemployment figures have reduced in Yorkshire.

:04:01.:04:09.

In the Yorkshire and the Humber region, 137,000 people were out

:04:10.:04:12.

of work and claiming benefit in the last quarter of 2016.

:04:13.:04:16.

But in the East Midlands, which includes Lincolnshire,

:04:17.:04:21.

Police activity has continued at a Lincolnshire firing range

:04:22.:04:32.

after officers began seizing weapons from the site on Monday.

:04:33.:04:36.

It's after the Home Office revoked a firearms licence held by an arms

:04:37.:04:40.

dealer on the Skydock site at Faldingworth.

:04:41.:04:44.

Lincolnshire Police has said it's working with military experts

:04:45.:04:48.

to seize the weapons to ensure public safety.

:04:49.:04:52.

Ambulance and fire crews based in Louth are to share a station.

:04:53.:04:56.

It's part of a long-term plan for emergency services

:04:57.:04:59.

to collaborate more closely, save money and provide

:05:00.:05:02.

The Louth station will be on Eastfield Road and will be

:05:03.:05:07.

the first in Lincolnshire to be run this way.

:05:08.:05:11.

Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals Trust has been criticised

:05:12.:05:15.

because of a shortage of nurses and has been told that it has

:05:16.:05:18.

The Care Quality Commission also said that A standards

:05:19.:05:24.

needed to get better, but noted some improvements

:05:25.:05:27.

after previous claims that staff were bullied.

:05:28.:05:30.

Our reporter Katy Austin is at Hull Royal Infirmary.

:05:31.:05:33.

Well, it says the trust requires improvement.

:05:34.:05:39.

Now, that is the same rating it got in 2014,

:05:40.:05:43.

when criticisms were made of a bullying culture

:05:44.:05:46.

Emergency care's better, the staff culture is better.

:05:47.:05:53.

But there aren't enough nurses and A waiting

:05:54.:05:56.

However, the man in charge says he's confident things are on the up.

:05:57.:06:03.

It is disappointing but we need to recognise the CQC have

:06:04.:06:08.

raised the bar in terms of what they are looking

:06:09.:06:11.

for and there has been a huge amount of work going on to get us pointed

:06:12.:06:15.

in the right direction so I am confident we are now in a place

:06:16.:06:18.

where we can move to good and then beyond.

:06:19.:06:21.

Now, this trust serves a population of more than 600,000 people

:06:22.:06:24.

Its main bases being the Hull RI and Castle Hill Hospital.

:06:25.:06:31.

And out of five categories looked at by the inspectors,

:06:32.:06:36.

including safety and effectiveness, just one, the caring of staff,

:06:37.:06:41.

So there's optimism at the top but there's clearly work to be done.

:06:42.:06:50.

A Lincolnshire MP has called on his colleagues to pass a motion

:06:51.:06:54.

of no confidence in the Speaker of the House of Commons.

:06:55.:06:58.

Lincoln's Karl McCartney says that John Bercow's position is untenable

:06:59.:07:02.

after he made comments critical of the US President Donald Trump.

:07:03.:07:07.

But others say that the Speaker has every right to voice his opinions.

:07:08.:07:11.

Our Political Editor Tim Iredale has more.

:07:12.:07:14.

He is the man charged with keeping order in the House of Commons

:07:15.:07:22.

but at least one of our MPs believes John Bercow is out of order

:07:23.:07:25.

after he said President Trump would not be welcome to address

:07:26.:07:28.

parliament when he arrives in the country later this year.

:07:29.:07:31.

I would not wish to issue an invitation to President Trump.

:07:32.:07:36.

Lincoln MP Karl McCartney has e-mailed fellow MPs urging them

:07:37.:07:40.

to support a motion of no-confidence in Speaker Bercow, saying

:07:41.:07:43.

that he is not politically impartial and that his position

:07:44.:07:47.

The role of the Speaker of the House of Commons is meant to be

:07:48.:07:52.

By speaking out on such a politically divisive issue,

:07:53.:07:57.

he has broken the terms of the contract of which his

:07:58.:08:00.

job is and I believe, fully supportive of Karl,

:08:01.:08:03.

But another MP called Karl disagrees.

:08:04.:08:07.

He said in his opinion he would not want him to be

:08:08.:08:10.

He is entitled to have that opinion because it is the Speaker

:08:11.:08:15.

of the House of Commons, together with the Speaker

:08:16.:08:17.

of the Lords and the Lord Great Chamberlain who will decide

:08:18.:08:21.

John Bercow is entitled to have that opinion.

:08:22.:08:25.

This is Speakers' Corner in Lincoln where people come to have their say

:08:26.:08:29.

So what's the verdict here on whether the House

:08:30.:08:34.

of Commons Speaker was right or wrong to speak out

:08:35.:08:37.

Donald Trump is segregating people so I think it is the right

:08:38.:08:43.

thing for him to say, for John Bercow to say.

:08:44.:08:46.

His views are bad but they will strike more people to put their foot

:08:47.:08:50.

I think a lot more people will make a stand.

:08:51.:08:55.

If Donald Trump wants to come to the UK, let him come to the UK.

:08:56.:08:59.

It is not John Bercow's right to speak out and talk

:09:00.:09:04.

Parliament isn't sitting this week but when MPs return

:09:05.:09:09.

to Westminster next week, we will know whether Karl McCartney

:09:10.:09:12.

has been successful in persuading his colleagues to support a motion

:09:13.:09:15.

of no-confidence against the Speaker.

:09:16.:09:18.

Tim Iredale, BBC Look North, Lincoln.

:09:19.:09:22.

Luke Campbell has held an open training session in Hull tonight

:09:23.:09:26.

ahead of his fight at Hull Ice Arena on February 25th.

:09:27.:09:30.

He will take on Mexican Jairo Lopez in a lightweight bout.

:09:31.:09:35.

Luke has lost just one of his 15 fights and this bout could be

:09:36.:09:39.

a stepping stone to a world title fight in the near future.

:09:40.:09:50.

Time for the weather now with Paul Hudson.

:09:51.:09:54.

It has been pretty wet in places so far this evening.

:09:55.:09:59.

Bright and breezy with a variable amount of cloud.

:10:00.:10:03.

So we get rid of that rain fairly shortly and then overnight

:10:04.:10:09.

just one or two showers possible, otherwise it is going to be

:10:10.:10:13.

Lowest temperatures around five Celsius.

:10:14.:10:17.

As for tomorrow, it looks as though it is going to be bright and breezy.

:10:18.:10:22.

There could be the odd shower but there will be some sunny breaks.

:10:23.:10:28.

Quite a windy day with top temperatures around 10 Celsius.

:10:29.:10:30.

Some low cloud on Friday morning, otherwise it brightens up

:10:31.:10:35.

And the weekend is looking mostly fine.

:10:36.:10:45.

That is it from us tonight. Thank for watching. Goodbye.

:10:46.:11:03.

the weekend. Wouldn't promise you two dry days but you never know,

:11:04.:11:06.

here is Nick with the national picture.

:11:07.:11:10.

Hello. We put that cold weekend well behind us now. Temperatures edging

:11:11.:11:14.

upwards and our weather watchers are seeing plenty of signs of spring.

:11:15.:11:19.

Spending more time looking down than looking up at the skies,

:11:20.:11:20.
