A woman from Hull, who successfully campaigned for better safety aboard | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
North Sea Trawlers in the late 1960s, has died at the age of 79. | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
Mary Denness was one of a group of women from the city dubbed | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
"The Headscarf Revolutionaries", who started lobbying the Government | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
after three trawlers sank with the loss of 58 lives. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
They captured the public's attention with their determined | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
and hard fought campaign, as Victoria Holland reports. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
She was the skipper's wife who changed lives. | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
Mary Denness joined three other women on a revolution in the 60s, | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
to make their men's lives safer on North Sea Trawlers. | :00:40. | :00:58. | |
That build build-up of anger, of frustration, and then two | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
It was the fuse that caused the explosion. | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
A lot of women said we had no right to be | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
interfering in the men's work, that the fish stocks were the men's | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
territory - it was very misogynistic in those days. | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
Mary and the other headscarf revolutionaries | :01:12. | :01:12. | |
started a petition, marched on the docks and eventually met | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
Their work meant that safety improved on trawlers and it | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
also inspired other artists, authors and Hull campaigners. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
Today, flowers had been left at a bench which had | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
been unveiled in her honour two years ago. | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
Mary became a very eloquent spokesman then and later. | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
It is quite apt that we are here remembering this remarkable | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
without whom countless thousands of lives would have been lost. | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
The campaign meant the industry was regulated, with a trained radio | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
And Mary's bench serves as a reminder of the effect these | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
four women from Hull had on the lives of their husbands | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
A man has been charged following a series of car thefts | :01:57. | :02:06. | |
in Hull and East Yorkshire that took place on Friday. | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
One attempted theft took place in Hedon. | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
23-year-old Leon Ndenu has been charged with four counts | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
of robbery, four counts of attempted robbery, two counts of assault, | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
possession of an imitation firearm and possession | :02:22. | :02:22. | |
He'll appear before magistrates tomorrow. | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
A man has been found dead in Grimsby. | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
Police were called to an alley off David Street at about 6:30am this | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
His death is not being treated as suspicious. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
There are calls for the Chancellor to use Wednesday's Budget | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
to increase the amount spent on social care in parts of our area. | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
The Government has allowed councils in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
to increase bills by an extra three per cent this year to meet | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
the growing cost of care, but some MPs say that's still not enough. | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
I'd like him to provide proper funding for social care, | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
particularly in areas like how were we know that the precept | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
increase that Government have announced, the | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
3% that were going to have in Hull, will not generate the amount of | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
It is 56% more in the East Riding than we'll be able to generate here. | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
So I'd like him to do something specific about the poorer | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
areas that are really having a social care crisis because of the | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
More than 300 members of Hull's Jewish community have come together | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
to mark 250 years of Jews living in the city. | :03:27. | :03:38. | |
I gained my culture from this community. This loving, giving | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
community. Hull-born actress Maureen Lipman | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
was guest of honour at a special And she and others paid tribute | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
to how Hull had welcomed In a way, it's a sort of miracle | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
that a community has survived 250 years of the trials | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
and tribulations, from one or two early settlers, | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
and is still here. I had a fantastic, both Jewish | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
and secular, education here. 250 years of the Jewish | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
people coming into and being welcomed | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
by the great city of Hull. The Hull City boss Marco Silva | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
says his team have to fight The Tigers lost a big match | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
against fellow strugglers It keeps them second from bottom | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
in the Premier League. Marco Silva says while it doesn't | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
look good for his team, he needs his players | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
to keep on pushing. As it stands, a couple of victories | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
could potentially lift them It's clear we need to come to be | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
strong and to fight like we But the most important is, | :04:30. | :04:39. | |
when you get a chance to score you need to score, because these make | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
the difference during the matches. And finally, it's been a good | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
afternoon for Hull KR They've just thrashed | :04:49. | :04:51. | |

then - Abbie Dewhurst We will see a few showers pepping up | :04:57. | :05:01. | |

day to come tomorrow. So, here they are - quite heavy but, | :05:13. | :05:14. | |

breaks in the clouds, These will be the temperatures | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
in towns and cities. Rurally they will | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
drop a little lower. It will be quite | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
a chilly start tomorrow. Quite cloudy as well, | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
but we will see some really decent breaks and some nice, | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
bright, sunny spells, We are also risk of seeing one | :05:34. | :05:34. | |
or two showers, and the winds will be so light tomorrow | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
that these showers may At this time of year, though, | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
temperatures in the sunshine will be Then, as we head through the next | :05:42. | :05:45. | |

there was a lot of whether around today. Showers for some, some saw | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
the staff of postcard material, for others it was more Christmas card | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
material. We had pictures like that quite widely across the Midlands and | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
Wales as well. This | :06:29. | :06:29. |
