We'll hear from a charity which usually deals

Painting a picture for small businesses -

:00:12.:00:17.

we look at the impact today's budget will have

:00:18.:00:20.

A rise in sheep worrying at lambing time in Yorkshire...

:00:21.:00:30.

Pet owners are warned to keep their dogs under control.

:00:31.:00:34.

It is distressing to see sheep traumatised by a dog attack.

:00:35.:00:37.

Pushing the boat out - getting the Chesterfield lock gates

:00:38.:00:40.

What a beautiful, sunny afternoon it has been. Will the sunshine and blue

:00:41.:00:52.

skies last? Join me for the forecast.

:00:53.:01:01.

First tonight - shocking claims that girls in Yorkshire are truanting

:01:02.:01:06.

from school because they can't afford sanitary towels.

:01:07.:01:08.

A local charity which usually helps girls in Africa

:01:09.:01:10.

is now being asked to work with teenagers in Leeds.

:01:11.:01:12.

Abi Jaiyeola has been speaking to one girl,

:01:13.:01:15.

who we're calling Sophie, about the problems she's had.

:01:16.:01:20.

It's something most of us probably take for granted, being able to

:01:21.:01:23.

Life is not as simple for some young girls

:01:24.:01:28.

My step mother had a family of five to feed.

:01:29.:01:37.

It was quite difficult to be able to pay for

:01:38.:01:41.

This meant Sophie skipped school for a week

:01:42.:01:46.

I felt a lot like let down and I was not achieving

:01:47.:01:53.

the right grades and not attending school enough.

:01:54.:01:56.

These reusable sanitary towels are made by

:01:57.:02:03.

a Leeds charity and usually sent to teenage girls in Kenya.

:02:04.:02:06.

You get a shield and in here is a waterproof

:02:07.:02:08.

It just fastens round the pants like this, like an Always

:02:09.:02:18.

Sophie's school approached them for help after

:02:19.:02:21.

There will be lots of girls suffering

:02:22.:02:24.

We need to bring that to the forefront and talk to teachers,

:02:25.:02:29.

These girls are missing education, so they will not

:02:30.:02:33.

The cost of tampons and towels varies.

:02:34.:02:36.

A supermarket own brand might be less than a pound.

:02:37.:02:39.

A branded product up to three times more.

:02:40.:02:40.

University campus, sanitary products are sold at cost price.

:02:41.:02:53.

We do not think that students or anyone

:02:54.:03:00.

should be having to pay more than is strictly

:03:01.:03:02.

necessary for a product that is essential.

:03:03.:03:03.

We are aware that a lot of students do not

:03:04.:03:06.

have that much money and we want a to make sure

:03:07.:03:09.

that students never have to

:03:10.:03:10.

choose between something like food and sanitary products.

:03:11.:03:12.

Campaigners in Leeds hope their work will help

:03:13.:03:14.

keep more girls in the classroom for every day of the month.

:03:15.:03:17.

there were no great surprises as the Chancellor Philip Hammond

:03:18.:03:20.

delivered his first budget today - but will it make us

:03:21.:03:23.

Fuel duty has been frozen for the seventh year in a row.

:03:24.:03:31.

But a packet of 20 cigarettes now costs 35p more than

:03:32.:03:34.

And from Monday you'll be paying extra for your alcohol.

:03:35.:03:37.

And we heard that there will be ?90 million

:03:38.:03:39.

of transport spending for the north - but we wont

:03:40.:03:42.

from the Radio Four programme Moneybox.

:03:43.:03:46.

He'll be answering your questions about how

:03:47.:03:48.

First, Danni Hewson on how changes to business rates will affect

:03:49.:03:52.

keeping control of the finer details is a necessity for every successful

:03:53.:04:04.

business. It is why this year's re-evaluation of business rates has

:04:05.:04:08.

caused controversy. There have been winners and losers. This business

:04:09.:04:15.

have been able to expand and take an have been able to expand and take an

:04:16.:04:20.

apprentice in the salon which has been fantastic. I want to grow my

:04:21.:04:24.

business and that is a good way to do that and I have enjoyed training

:04:25.:04:28.

as well. Without the rate relief, what would it mean to your business?

:04:29.:04:33.

The money for training would have to come for somewhere. This travel

:04:34.:04:38.

agent is facing a hike of ?9,000 a year, money that could support if

:04:39.:04:43.

part-time member of staff. It is a massive jump, one faced by many

:04:44.:04:47.

businesses, and won the Chancellor was under pressure to deal with

:04:48.:04:55.

today. A ?300 million fund to give relief to target individual hard

:04:56.:05:00.

cases in their local areas. No guarantees this business will

:05:01.:05:03.

qualify for help, but a glimmer of hope. It hopefully will come our

:05:04.:05:09.

way. I am happy that the Government did take the measure to help us, to

:05:10.:05:14.

understand what small businesses need. Now it is down to the council

:05:15.:05:18.

to see what they can deliver for us. If you are not a business owner and

:05:19.:05:23.

one how business rates affect you, all have of money collected goes to

:05:24.:05:29.

the local authority. That cash is used to help fund services as

:05:30.:05:34.

protection. By 2020, business rates protection. By 2020, business rates

:05:35.:05:39.

and council tax will provide the lion share of council funding and

:05:40.:05:44.

some think that will create tension. 80% of everything Leeds council

:05:45.:05:50.

does... That is a vital service and we know the population is changing

:05:51.:05:55.

and it went to meet them, but businesses... Make businesses more

:05:56.:05:59.

successful, we need a better environment and better

:06:00.:06:01.

infrastructure and business rates will not be funding that. The

:06:02.:06:04.

Government has promised to take another look at business rates but

:06:05.:06:08.

it is clear there are troubled waters ahead. -- choppy waters.

:06:09.:06:11.

So how will today's budget affect you and your family?

:06:12.:06:13.

Paul Lewis from Radio Four's Money Box programme is with us live

:06:14.:06:16.

to fill us in on some of the details.

:06:17.:06:18.

I wonder if his nose rates are an unfair tax on the high Street

:06:19.:06:27.

eyes-mac what do you think? Three shops on the high street help meet

:06:28.:06:31.

that and it is not unreasonable because they are competing now with

:06:32.:06:34.

people who are not on the high street, people on the Internet or

:06:35.:06:39.

maybe some of the Internet sales companies that have warehouses out

:06:40.:06:43.

in the countryside, are going to go down rather than art generally. The

:06:44.:06:48.

examples you gave me the point clearly, it is a random tax. Some

:06:49.:06:53.

businesses will see a rise and others a fall. The Chancellor did

:06:54.:06:59.

?50 a month. There was the extra ?50 a month. There was the extra

:07:00.:07:06.

money for councils and a special ?1000 a year for pubs, because they

:07:07.:07:07.

pay it differently. It is based on pay it differently. It is based on

:07:08.:07:12.

their turnover. Is accessible pop pays a higher rate than an

:07:13.:07:18.

unsuccessful pub. -- a successful pulp. We have had questions sent in.

:07:19.:07:26.

Faith says what does the announcement mean for workers of

:07:27.:07:32.

Yorkshire? It is going to mean higher tax. Higher national insurer

:07:33.:07:38.

and its contribution to pensions. Chancellor said that from 2018,

:07:39.:07:44.

self-employed people, who now pay 9% of the income, a national insurance.

:07:45.:07:50.

That will go up to 10% and then 11% in the next year and my suspicion is

:07:51.:07:55.

it will go up to 12%. That brings them in line with employees, people

:07:56.:08:01.

who work for an employer, they are charged 12% national insurance and

:08:02.:08:06.

get the game as self-employed people. He is putting up

:08:07.:08:11.

self-employed tax. That is going to make, for self-employed people, the

:08:12.:08:15.

going to spend more money. It is going to cost them a maximum of ?380

:08:16.:08:22.

a year and double that from 2019. It is going to hit some, particularly

:08:23.:08:27.

better paid or more profitable self-employed people, quite hard. I

:08:28.:08:30.

have worked on the assumption that you every single answer. Jasper from

:08:31.:08:39.

Leeds wants to know about that... What does it mean for us here in

:08:40.:08:43.

your? I am going to disappoint you now, I do not know. I think one of

:08:44.:08:48.

the problems that Yorkshire faces and many pirates face, is getting to

:08:49.:08:52.

work and having cheap, reliable public transport. -- many areas

:08:53.:09:01.

face. More money for transport can only mean more help for companies

:09:02.:09:06.

that want to run bus services offered to build lead in the local

:09:07.:09:12.

committee. -- profitably. I will look at up for our question and

:09:13.:09:21.

answers section later. 90 million is not a lot of money throughout

:09:22.:09:25.

England. Paul, we have time to squeeze in this question... Does it

:09:26.:09:35.

mean no change for him? If you do not drink, you do not pay the higher

:09:36.:09:39.

price. If you do not smoke, you do not pay the higher price. If you

:09:40.:09:48.

Drive a car, tax will be going up from April by ?5 or ?10. Bigger cars

:09:49.:09:55.

might be as much as ?20 more from April. Motorists will feel it. Fuel

:09:56.:10:00.

duty is frozen for now but prices were high by few have gone up a lot

:10:01.:10:12.

recently. Paul, thank you. -- prices where I live.

:10:13.:10:14.

And I'll be back with Paul live on Facebook just after seven.

:10:15.:10:17.

Like our page, search for BBC Look North Yorkshire

:10:18.:10:19.

We'll put your questions to Paul live.

:10:23.:10:28.

All last night's football involving our sides.

:10:29.:10:32.

Including another great result for Huddersfield Town as they aim

:10:33.:10:34.

Dog walkers are being warned to keep their pets on a lead

:10:35.:10:42.

after a growing number of attacks on Sheep in Yorkshire.

:10:43.:10:45.

New figures released by the NFU insurance group show

:10:46.:10:47.

the cost of dog attacks on livestock rose by 30% last year.

:10:48.:10:51.

Emma Glasbey has been hearing the story of one farmer

:10:52.:10:53.

Lambing season is in full swing and it is another

:10:54.:11:13.

For the farmer, that means very little sleep and no

:11:14.:11:17.

chance for getting through a TV interview without a new arrival

:11:18.:11:20.

This lambing season has been filled with

:11:21.:11:30.

stress and upset after a dog got into the field before Christmas and

:11:31.:11:33.

This attack must've been going on for

:11:34.:11:38.

half an hour because the sheep were scattered all over the field.

:11:39.:11:41.

It did not have a collar on and there was

:11:42.:11:47.

As a last resort, farmers have the right to shoot dogs

:11:48.:11:57.

For Andrew, the upset was far from over.

:11:58.:12:00.

We got death threats through the phone.

:12:01.:12:07.

They put our name, address, telephone number all on Facebook or

:12:08.:12:10.

It got that bad that we had to ring the

:12:11.:12:14.

A threatening phone call was recorded, but are too

:12:15.:12:22.

There was yet more heartache for Andrew.

:12:23.:12:27.

Three weeks after the dog attacks, scans

:12:28.:12:32.

showed many of the ewes were carrying dead lambs.

:12:33.:12:38.

This year there has been another dog attack?

:12:39.:12:47.

It can't put weight on that back leg fully.

:12:48.:12:49.

It must be really distressing to see them in a lot of

:12:50.:12:52.

It is distressing to see sheep traumatised by a dog attack.

:12:53.:12:56.

The National farmers union says there

:12:57.:12:57.

has been a big increase in the problem in Yorkshire over the last

:12:58.:13:00.

year and it is urging people to keep their pets under control.

:13:01.:13:03.

Dog walkers in Leeds today told me they

:13:04.:13:08.

The animals cost a lot of money and it is

:13:09.:13:20.

The farmer has a right to keep his animals on land

:13:21.:13:24.

The lambing season is nearly over and we hope next year will be

:13:25.:13:36.

calmer. Let's get some news in brief now.

:13:37.:13:38.

Many women from Yorkshire were among thousands of protesters in London

:13:39.:13:41.

today highlighting concerns over changes to the state pension scheme.

:13:42.:13:44.

They want the Government to implement fairer arrangements

:13:45.:13:46.

for women born in the 1950s who have had up to six years added

:13:47.:13:49.

to their pension age with little notice.

:13:50.:13:51.

The Department for Work and Pensions says the decision is a long-overdue

:13:52.:13:54.

More and more women are becoming aware of it

:13:55.:14:02.

because they were not aware of it

:14:03.:14:04.

and they are joining the group and we are going to fight

:14:05.:14:07.

My husband has also missed out on my pension on the money

:14:08.:14:12.

It has affected everybody, our children and grandchildren,

:14:13.:14:15.

because we can't look after them because we have to go to work -

:14:16.:14:18.

A protest march is underway against plans to frack

:14:19.:14:22.

The campaigners are walking 120 miles

:14:23.:14:32.

They set out from their camp at Kirby Misperton this morning

:14:33.:14:35.

to walk to another site near Blackpool where drilling

:14:36.:14:38.

for shale gas has been given the go-ahead.

:14:39.:14:39.

The company, Third Energy secured permission for test drilling

:14:40.:14:42.

Northern Rail has announced details of a reduced service next Monday,

:14:43.:14:46.

The RMT union balloted for the strike over fears that

:14:47.:14:49.

new trains planned for 2018 would no longer require conductors.

:14:50.:14:51.

Northern Rail says it will run forty per cent of its usual timetable

:14:52.:14:54.

Consultation on plans for a new swimming pool

:14:55.:15:02.

Ripon Spa Baths were built in 1904 but have become

:15:03.:15:06.

The council wants to build a new pool next to the town's

:15:07.:15:09.

Tomorrow, Bradford's National Media Museum

:15:10.:15:23.

will get a new name - and a new focus.

:15:24.:15:27.

In future it will showcase science, technology and engineering.

:15:28.:15:29.

Visitor numbers have been falling steadily

:15:30.:15:31.

in the last ten years - so can a new name and new exhibits

:15:32.:15:35.

This was the National Media Museum in the heart of Bradford.

:15:36.:15:45.

Right now, it is a museum without a name.

:15:46.:15:48.

It is in the process of being renamed and

:15:49.:15:51.

The number of visitors has more than halved

:15:52.:15:59.

over the past ten years from

:16:00.:16:10.

737,000 ten years ago to just over 300,000 over the last ten months.

:16:11.:16:13.

Will these new changes stop the decline?

:16:14.:16:15.

It's not exciting to go there and if they are rebranding

:16:16.:16:21.

it then maybe something will happen with it.

:16:22.:16:24.

The name is not the issue, if with the name will come a complete

:16:25.:16:28.

rebrand and a complete new approach and create opportunities for people

:16:29.:16:30.

It is a huge thing and I hope that they have

:16:31.:16:34.

thought long and hard about it because people invest money, time,

:16:35.:16:39.

blood, sweat and tears into establishing a brand and make it

:16:40.:16:42.

It is a hard decision to make and I hope it does not have

:16:43.:16:49.

serious consequences, I hope it is positive.

:16:50.:16:51.

It has already moved thousands of artefacts to London and

:16:52.:16:58.

it no longer hosts Bradfor International Film Festival.

:16:59.:17:00.

It says its new focus is science and technology.

:17:01.:17:03.

I think that, as a photographer, and the

:17:04.:17:06.

other photographers in this room, we must feel

:17:07.:17:08.

When it opened its doors in 1983, it was called the National Museum of

:17:09.:17:19.

More than 20 years later, it was renamed

:17:20.:17:22.

in response to the rise in

:17:23.:17:24.

But changing the name yet again has left many perplexed.

:17:25.:17:36.

The Post Office change their name and then changed

:17:37.:17:38.

it back again, didn't they, because people still

:17:39.:17:46.

it the the Post Office despite the change of name.

:17:47.:17:48.

Why do they change it just for the sake of change?

:17:49.:17:51.

For months, trustees have been pondering a new

:17:52.:17:55.

name for the museum in keeping with its new focus.

:17:56.:17:57.

Like it or not, come this time tomorrow, all will be

:17:58.:18:00.

Let's move on to the sport. We are all big nights now as we approach

:18:01.:18:11.

the end of the season. I imagine you weren't noisy when the Huddersfield

:18:12.:18:15.

goal went in. I am groggy today. It was not a great game but it was

:18:16.:18:21.

great to see everybody happy. The most important thing is the result

:18:22.:18:27.

itself. They were the only winner last night.

:18:28.:18:32.

It was a tight match against aggressive Aston Villa,

:18:33.:18:34.

who managed to limit chances on goal, and even came

:18:35.:18:37.

Lansbury's volley has left a right scratch

:18:38.:18:40.

The decisive moment came in the second half.

:18:41.:18:44.

A short corner to captain Tommy Smith, and he did the rest.

:18:45.:18:53.

1-0 to Town - and that's how it stayed.

:18:54.:18:57.

Huddersfield's 21st win of the Championship season

:18:58.:18:59.

stregthens their position in third place.

:19:00.:19:03.

Sheffield Wednesday were hoping for something

:19:04.:19:06.

If anyone's going to knock one of our three Yorkshire clubs out

:19:07.:19:10.

of the playoff places, it'll probably be Fulham.

:19:11.:19:12.

So their match against Leeds had added significance.

:19:13.:19:14.

Fullham's Tim Ream won't want to see this again, as his sliced attempted

:19:15.:19:23.

If goal-line technology had been in place, there might have been

:19:24.:19:31.

In injury time, Tom Kearney, released by Leeds as a

:19:32.:19:38.

teenager, came back to haunt his own club as this beautiful curling

:19:39.:19:41.

strike ensured the points were shared.

:19:42.:19:44.

Sheffield Wednesday's Ross Wallace tried his luck from 30

:19:45.:19:46.

Jackson Irvine volleyed home for the visitors

:19:47.:19:52.

Wednesday stay five points clear of Fulham,

:19:53.:20:05.

Huddersfield fans might be thinking about avoiding the play-offs

:20:06.:20:09.

Rotherham were beaten two nil by Brighton.

:20:10.:20:18.

Sheffield United and Chesterfield were also chasing vital

:20:19.:20:20.

The Blades and Spireites are neighbours, but the distance

:20:21.:20:23.

between them I'm afraid, feels a long way now,

:20:24.:20:25.

and neither team look as if they'll be playing in League One next

:20:26.:20:28.

season, for entirely different reasons.

:20:29.:20:34.

Top of the table United came back with a comeback that points to

:20:35.:20:45.

promotion. Billy Sharp's 25th goal of the season brought them back to

:20:46.:20:52.

one of in the first-half. It was made to - one blades. The penalty

:20:53.:20:59.

made it 3-1. There was no denying the 21st victory from 36 matches.

:21:00.:21:05.

The 11 point cushion they have over third place looks very comfortable

:21:06.:21:09.

now. We believe we can do it but there are ten games to go. Winning

:21:10.:21:13.

tonight is good because we do not have a game on Saturday but

:21:14.:21:17.

everybody else does. Now we have done our job and will slay the other

:21:18.:21:22.

teams will help us out a little bit. Chesterfield were deleted. 1- mil

:21:23.:21:31.

last night. The two upcoming home games need to produced

:21:32.:21:32.

quick. Chesterfield in trouble but quick. Chesterfield in trouble but

:21:33.:21:39.

for everyone else it is going to be like this every week, nobody else

:21:40.:21:43.

knows. The championship is the most exciting.

:21:44.:21:45.

Finally tonight, you might think a canal is a gentle way to travel.

:21:46.:21:51.

Well, that depends on whether or not you have to pull your own boat!

:21:52.:21:54.

On the Chesterfield Canal today new lock gates

:21:55.:21:56.

However, without a horse, volunteers had to hand haul

Tom Ingall joined them in Shireoaks to lend a hand.

The volunteer worth ten pressed men. In this case, one horse. With out

for Leggett helper, this goes by shanks pony. We are transporting new

:22:26.:22:34.

lock gates over the canal. The canal is not a straight canal, it is

:22:35.:22:40.

current. It meanders like this and if you are going along a long band,

:22:41.:22:46.

it cuts across the corner. It is remarkable. I never thought we would

:22:47.:22:50.

need as much rope as this but we definitely do. I could watch this

:22:51.:22:54.

all day. The trouble is, ask questions about the role and you get

:22:55.:23:02.

tied to one. -- about a rope. Keep going. It is hard to get going. When

:23:03.:23:09.

does it get easy? When we are going downhill. When is that in a canal?

:23:10.:23:18.

Never. Wait there, guys. It is the planned part I am concerned about.

:23:19.:23:24.

The plant pot survived but much pooling and several blocks later, I

:23:25.:23:30.

was in need of a lie down. The rest of the hard work is being done by

:23:31.:23:35.

the Canal and River Trust. The lock gates will replace the old one.

:23:36.:23:39.

Unusual to see a block empty like this. What are you doing? The gates

:23:40.:23:45.

have rotted. They just brought to such a degree that they let water

:23:46.:23:50.

through. The canal is not holding water, sewage replace the gates. We

:23:51.:23:57.

safely delivered lock gate will be installed next week. The Canal and

:23:58.:24:03.

River Trust are holding open days. With luck, nobody will ask you to

the end of my tether on the the end of my tether on

:24:08.:24:10.

Chesterfield Canal. That is the Chesterfield Canal. That is the

:24:11.:24:11.

hardest day working as ever done. It would be nice to see this one be

:24:12.:24:23.

put to work. 13 Celsius today. Let me show you some pictures that came

:24:24.:24:29.

in today. That is your Museum Gardens with the daffodils in full

:24:30.:24:33.

bloom. The next picture is a stunning one. Keep the pictures

:24:34.:24:47.

coming in. Mainly blue skies to come through tomorrow. The only smiler

:24:48.:24:51.

may be the strength of the wind. It is westerly. This warm front will

:24:52.:25:00.

mean a cloudy day. There might be drizzle on that as well. Many of us

:25:01.:25:06.

will stay dry and it was going to stay mild from Friday, into the

:25:07.:25:10.

weekend and the early part of next week. The clouds cleared this

:25:11.:25:16.

morning and most of us bathed in sunshine. 13 Celsius. This evening,

:25:17.:25:21.

uneventful weather-wise. Fine with clear spells. The week weather front

:25:22.:25:27.

bringing one or two showers to north and west Yorkshire. Elsewhere, dry

:25:28.:25:33.

and temperatures tonight of four Celsius. The sun rises in the

:25:34.:25:39.

morning at 6:37am. The high water times... Just a bit of cloud and one

:25:40.:25:47.

or two showers are crossed north and west Yorkshire. That will grow and

:25:48.:25:51.

decreasing amounts of sunshine. It will be windy and the cloud is

:25:52.:25:55.

rattling through their across the Pennines. It will spoil things in

:25:56.:26:03.

Shipley. Elsewhere, a lovely time of it. The coastal have a mainly sunny

:26:04.:26:11.

day. Temperatures 13 Celsius. When you add in the wind, it will feel on

:26:12.:26:17.

the cool side. The average for the derelict part of March. Friday, a

:26:18.:26:24.

cloudy day with clouds. -- early part. Patchy rain for a time. The

:26:25.:26:31.

outlook is not too bad. Fine and mild weather to come. That is the

:26:32.:26:37.

forecast. That is lovely, seeing sunshine. That suit looks like a

:26:38.:26:43.

camouflage suit. Really? We're going to go now. Good

:26:44.:26:45.
