:00:05. > :00:08.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight:
:00:08. > :00:18.Facing protests again - the Muslims still trying to find a site for a
:00:18. > :00:21.new mosque in Lincoln. It is not racism in any way.
:00:21. > :00:31.Teenager is sentenced to 12 months in prison after injuring a four-
:00:31. > :00:37.year-old girl with a brick. She was just lying there. It was
:00:37. > :00:41.heartbreaking. Joining the Royal Air Force is more than starting a
:00:41. > :00:43.new job. Despite defence cuts, the new
:00:43. > :00:46.recruits need for the future of our military.
:00:46. > :00:56.Forget Monza - the real driving daredevils taking on the hills of
:00:56. > :01:04.
:01:04. > :01:07.rural Lincolnshire. A warning in force. The latest in 15 minutes.
:01:07. > :01:10.Residents fighting plans to build a new mosque in Lincoln insist they
:01:10. > :01:13.are not racists. More than 500 people have signed a petition
:01:13. > :01:19.calling for the local council to reject the proposals, which also
:01:19. > :01:22.include a car park and supermarket. It's the second time that the local
:01:22. > :01:32.Islamic Association has tried to build a new mosque in the Boultham
:01:32. > :01:35.
:01:35. > :01:40.area of the city in recent years. At a small community centre,
:01:40. > :01:45.Lincoln's Muslims gathered to pray. On Fridays they can be more than
:01:45. > :01:54.150 worshippers. We urgently need her place of worship that is bigger.
:01:54. > :01:59.The needs -- we need a space for women as well. We need to make sure
:01:59. > :02:04.there is a space for them. For more than three years the Islamic
:02:05. > :02:11.Association has been trying to build and the Boultham area. In
:02:11. > :02:20.August 2008 there but given approval to turn a disused
:02:20. > :02:25.warehouse into a mosque. In October 2009, plans for a two-storey mosque
:02:25. > :02:33.were turned down. An appeal was launched, but in 20th August 10,
:02:33. > :02:38.the government rejected it on traffic grounds. Now the Islamic
:02:38. > :02:41.Association is pinning its hopes on this site. They will share it with
:02:41. > :02:47.a supermarket. But the same residents opposed the new scheme as
:02:47. > :02:51.well. We are not objecting because it is a mosque. We are objecting
:02:51. > :02:59.because it is a large public building that will bring a great
:02:59. > :03:04.deal of traffic into the area. It is not racism in any way. We are
:03:04. > :03:13.open to any religion, but we do not think it is the right place. There
:03:13. > :03:20.is too much traffic here. Lincolnshire co-operative that owns
:03:20. > :03:24.the land has submitted plans. there is a commercial development
:03:24. > :03:29.on this site, that for increase the traffic that is already there now,
:03:29. > :03:33.but the advice we have had from Highway consultancies is that that
:03:33. > :03:38.junction can cope with extra traffic. The planning committee
:03:38. > :03:47.will consider the application next month when it will face the
:03:47. > :03:51.difficult task of balancing the needs of the growing Muslim
:03:51. > :03:58.community 80 and Boultham residents. Joining us now is Dr Chris Allen,
:03:58. > :04:01.who has written a book about the spread of Islamophobia. Good
:04:01. > :04:09.evening. Residents say they are against these plans because of
:04:09. > :04:19.traffic and parking. How often do local communities dispute the
:04:19. > :04:19.
:04:19. > :04:23.building of mosques? It is happening across the country. We
:04:23. > :04:31.need to disentangle the legitimate concerns that residents had with
:04:31. > :04:37.the illegitimate. There are groups like the BNP and EDL but tried to
:04:37. > :04:41.drive wedges between communities, so up that beat mosque and becomes
:04:41. > :04:45.the big issue that people are divided against. Do people use
:04:45. > :04:50.traffic and parking as an excuse because they don't want a mosque in
:04:50. > :04:54.there then? Absolutely. Sometimes there is a concern about traffic
:04:54. > :04:59.and congestion, but there is no real evidence to suggest that will
:04:59. > :05:05.be the case. If you look at the British Social attitudes survey
:05:05. > :05:08.that was published last year, 55 % of people said they were opposed a
:05:08. > :05:14.mosque been built in their community. If you look at that
:05:14. > :05:18.compared to a church, only 50 % would oppose that. It highlights
:05:18. > :05:25.the issues we have a round Muslims and Islam. In is it an open feeling,
:05:26. > :05:30.or is it lying beneath what they actually say? Sometimes there are
:05:30. > :05:38.legitimate concerns, but a lot of the time, it is a smokescreen and
:05:38. > :05:43.people do not want a directly say they do not want a mosque. What
:05:43. > :05:52.people do is use this as an excuse at times. So how do we get over
:05:52. > :05:56.this, if it exists and break down the stereotypes and prejudice?
:05:56. > :06:00.local authorities need to take a lead in this. They can be very
:06:00. > :06:03.influential. We live in a country where it is everybody's eye to have
:06:03. > :06:13.a religion, or have no revision whatsoever. We need good leadership
:06:13. > :06:16.
:06:16. > :06:25.from local authorities. They can find areas before places of worship
:06:25. > :06:34.to be built. Thank you. Do you think that Lincoln should have a
:06:34. > :06:44.dedicated mosque? Or do you agree with the residents? Here is how you
:06:44. > :06:46.
:06:46. > :06:51.The council's importing grit as they prepare for a winter, but have
:06:51. > :06:54.they got the cash to get through A teenager from Grimsby is tonight
:06:54. > :06:58.spending his first night in jail after admitting to throwing a brick
:06:58. > :07:01.through a van window, injuring the young girl inside. Four-year-old
:07:01. > :07:05.Jersey Lou Perry suffered serious injuries to her face following the
:07:05. > :07:15.attack by Kallan Richardson in April. Her mother says Jersey Lou
:07:15. > :07:17.
:07:17. > :07:22.still has nightmares about what happened.
:07:22. > :07:26.Five months on and victor macro has made a full recovery. Back in April
:07:26. > :07:30.vote these were the pictures that shocked us all - a little girl left
:07:30. > :07:35.with horrendous injuries through the reckless actions of a teenage
:07:35. > :07:45.boy. Kallan Richardson, who is now 18, through the brick following an
:07:45. > :07:48.
:07:48. > :07:53.altercation with charred macro's father. -- Jersey Lou's father.
:07:53. > :08:00.was heartbreaking. She went from one extreme to another. She is
:08:00. > :08:03.usually quite loud, but she was just lying there. At Grimsby
:08:03. > :08:08.Magistrates Court, Kallan Richardson apologised to the family
:08:08. > :08:13.and said he was ashamed of what he had done. He was sentenced to a
:08:13. > :08:20.year in prison, six months of which will be set on licence. She knows
:08:20. > :08:24.what pain is now. She did not know that before. It should not have
:08:24. > :08:32.happened to her. It should not have happened to any child. No-one
:08:32. > :08:37.should throw a brick. The court heard how the incident on this
:08:37. > :08:41.street in Grimsby had not been a spur of the moment events.
:08:41. > :08:45.Richardson had dislodged the brick from a nearby wall, chasing the car
:08:45. > :08:49.down here and Derek it through the window as it stopped at this
:08:49. > :08:59.junction. A I just think he is a cupboard. He tried to get away with
:08:59. > :09:06.
:09:06. > :09:11.it as long as he could. -- I just then. He is a coward. Jersey Lou
:09:11. > :09:14.has recovered, but she remembers what happened and still has
:09:14. > :09:18.nightmares. A murder inquiry is underway after
:09:18. > :09:21.a man was found dead in the garden of a house in Boston. The 48-year-
:09:21. > :09:23.old was discovered with a single stab wound at a property on
:09:23. > :09:25.Sleaford Road yesterday morning. Detectives are urging any witnesses
:09:25. > :09:28.to come foward. Despite last winter being the worst
:09:28. > :09:31.in 30 years, new figures obtained by BBC Look North show that most
:09:31. > :09:36.councils aren't planning to spend any more this year on keeping the
:09:36. > :09:39.roads safe and clear. Lincolnshire County Council has frozen its
:09:39. > :09:47.budget of �4.4 million and in North Lincolnshire they have done the
:09:47. > :09:52.same, with �500,000 set aside. It's the same picture in the East Riding
:09:52. > :09:58.with spending set at �1.7 million. But in Hull the budget has been cut
:09:58. > :10:03.by almost �8,000 to just over �194,000. North East Lincolnshire
:10:03. > :10:06.Council was unable to provide any figures. Siobhan Robbins has been
:10:06. > :10:12.to find out if the money available will be enough to deal with another
:10:12. > :10:15.harsh winter. This salt arriving at Immingham
:10:15. > :10:18.Docks will be spread on Lincolnshire's roads this winter.
:10:18. > :10:27.And although like the majority, the county council isn't spending any
:10:27. > :10:33.more on protecting the roads. It says it's better prepared than ever.
:10:33. > :10:39.We shall have 42,000 tonnes of salt, which is in excess of what we have
:10:39. > :10:43.had before. It is ready to go as and when it is required.
:10:43. > :10:46.But not everyone's convinced. Last year smaller rural villages were
:10:46. > :10:49.hard hit. Like thousands of others, Middle Rasen school was forced to
:10:49. > :10:55.close. And in nearby Binbrook villagers villagers were cut off by
:10:55. > :10:59.snow - their roads missing out on grit to heavier snow. Last year in
:10:59. > :11:03.particular, the roads were clear. They could have cleared a route
:11:03. > :11:13.into the village. I just hope that somebody in the council is thinking,
:11:13. > :11:15.we need to make a clear way for the school. I was getting to be
:11:15. > :11:25.wholesalers and getting the necessary things. As quick as I was
:11:25. > :11:27.
:11:27. > :11:31.buying it, it was selling out too fast, so I had to ration it.
:11:31. > :11:36.snow may be gone, but for much of the year council budgets had been
:11:36. > :11:40.on ice. When the bad weather returns, at Maine Road will be the
:11:40. > :11:43.priority and there will be more pressure on smaller communities
:11:43. > :11:46.like this one to protect themselves. Villagers in Gilberdyke in East
:11:46. > :11:49.Yorkshire are used to working together. Last year they used a JCB
:11:49. > :11:59.to clear the roads, but beofre this becomes a permanent move they say
:11:59. > :11:59.
:11:59. > :12:06.they need more council support. need more of the raw-material so
:12:06. > :12:16.available. Even if it is for the locals to put out, it will make
:12:16. > :12:17.
:12:17. > :12:22.sense. It did not happen last year. We were forgotten about. Towns and
:12:22. > :12:26.parish councils have received money for self-help. East Riding is 1,000
:12:26. > :12:29.square miles and we cannot treat every where when we get this tough
:12:29. > :12:32.conditions. All the councils say they've
:12:32. > :12:35.stocked up on salt and their gritters are ready, but until snow
:12:35. > :12:45.falls again we won't know how well the lessons of last year have been
:12:45. > :12:56.
:12:56. > :13:06.learnt. Will there be one last accolade for the outgoing coaches
:13:06. > :13:06.
:13:06. > :13:12.of Our Super League teens? And it's beget Monza, look out Lincolnshire.

:14:06. > :14:12.what it has been like it in Goa region. -- in our region. We do get
:14:12. > :14:17.the sort of weather in autumn and winter. There is still a warning in
:14:17. > :14:21.place for gales. A fairly widespread gales. They will
:14:21. > :14:28.gradually ease down as the night wears on. Still windy tomorrow with
:14:28. > :14:32.some sunshine and a few showers. You can see the isobars on
:14:32. > :14:37.tomorrow's charts. There will be some sunshine as well. Despite the
:14:37. > :14:43.wind, it has been a nice afternoon. We have had sunshine and
:14:43. > :14:53.temperatures up to 20 Celsius. Very windy this evening. Overnight looks
:14:53. > :15:03.
:15:03. > :15:08.set to be dry. That a deal will Those are your high water times. We
:15:08. > :15:11.are often a fairly my start tomorrow. Lots of sunshine and up
:15:11. > :15:17.lots of dry weather. In the afternoon, there will be a few
:15:17. > :15:25.showers coming through from the West. Still that's strong West to
:15:25. > :15:33.south-westerly wind. Very quickly, they are at look on Wednesday,
:15:33. > :15:39.sunshine and a few showers. Thursday and Friday looking nice.

:15:55. > :15:57.The armed forces still need new recruits from East Yorkshire and
:15:57. > :16:00.Lincolnshire despite the cuts announced in the Government's
:16:00. > :16:03.Defence Review. That is according to the head of RAF recruiting who
:16:03. > :16:06.has been speaking to BBC Look North at the start of our Armed Forces
:16:06. > :16:12.Week. Gemma Dawson reports. Calvin is preparing to lead his own
:16:12. > :16:20.to join the Army. My brother is in to join the Army. My brother is in
:16:20. > :16:23.the army. It is really good. And this is what he will be
:16:23. > :16:26.training for. Calvin's joining the infantry, which means he could end
:16:26. > :16:29.up serving in Afghanistan. But with more than 330 servicemen and women
:16:29. > :16:34.killed in action there, his mum's concerned. I did not want him
:16:34. > :16:41.joining, to be honest. I am proud of them now. It is what he wants.
:16:41. > :16:45.But it is frightening, the thought of him being out there. Joining the
:16:45. > :16:49.Royal Air Force is a lot more than just starting a new job.
:16:49. > :16:51.These new RAF recruits in Hull are the latest to join up. In the last
:16:51. > :17:00.year, nearly 14,000 people have entered the armed forces. But
:17:00. > :17:03.compared to the previous 12 months, that's a 25% drop. Our recruit
:17:03. > :17:08.their numbers are slightly down this year. But we are still looking
:17:08. > :17:10.to recruit 2000 people this year for the Royal Air Force alone.

:17:21. > :17:28.air force, there can be no mistakes. James has also handed in his notice
:17:28. > :17:33.at the betting shop in Hull where he's been working. Working here,
:17:33. > :17:38.you are not going to get shot. But in Afghanistan and Libya, that is a
:17:38. > :17:44.chance. They have now started their basic training at RAF Halton and
:17:44. > :17:48.are being tested, to see if they're fit enough for the forces. For them
:17:48. > :17:52.the RAF, won't just be a job, it'll become a way of life. Gemma Dawson,
:17:52. > :17:59.BBC Look North. Joining me now is Sir Michael
:17:59. > :18:03.Graydon, former Chief of Air Staff. 17,000 jobs in the Armed Forces
:18:03. > :18:09.have to go by 2015, should these new recruits be concerned about
:18:09. > :18:14.their job security? I think that is a big question. I suspect it is a
:18:14. > :18:19.question very much on the minds of the leadership of the armed
:18:19. > :18:23.services. As you have rightly said, the Armed Forces have been cut
:18:23. > :18:28.fairly severely. But it is splendid to hear that young people still
:18:28. > :18:31.want to join the Armed Forces. I am delighted to hear that. A idea

:18:40. > :18:45.see what is happening in Afghanistan? -- when we see. I am
:18:45. > :18:51.not surprised. I think young people traditionally want excitement, what
:18:51. > :18:56.adventure. And today's done generation are no different. What
:18:56. > :19:06.is the appeal of the job? Excite what is one thing of course.
:19:06. > :19:11.
:19:11. > :19:14.Trouble. -- excitement. And the I think young people identify with
:19:14. > :19:24.that excitement. They want to belong to something that is quite
:19:24. > :19:34.
:19:34. > :19:39.special. The Armed Forces or first that. -- offers that. Do the Armed
:19:39. > :19:49.Forces offer what they did 20 years ago? Are pay a will have to offer

:19:50. > :19:55.their -- I think you will have to ask the new recruits that. It is
:19:55. > :20:00.very different. Many more campaigns nowadays. Thank you very much for
:20:00. > :20:10.talking to us. It's Monday, so Damian is here as
:20:10. > :20:11.
:20:12. > :20:21.And Damian, both our Super League sides now know who they will meet
:20:22. > :20:24.
:20:24. > :20:32.in the playoffs. Yes, Hull is at Leeds. Hull K R
:20:32. > :20:34.against Catalans. Hull FC now know the identity of their new coach for
:20:34. > :20:37.next season. He's the Australian Peter Gentle who will succeed the
:20:37. > :20:40.departing Richard Agar. Before then, both Hull clubs are in play-off
:20:40. > :20:42.action next weekend, dreaming of a place in the Grand Final at Old

:20:45. > :20:55.When Peter Gentle arrives in Hull, he is in for a pleasant surprise.
:20:55. > :20:55.
:20:55. > :21:05.Two of his players had been picked for a dream team. Both confess they
:21:05. > :21:06.
:21:06. > :21:10.do not know much about the new man. I have not heard too much about him.
:21:10. > :21:16.It is an exciting future for the club by the was see what happens
:21:16. > :21:24.next year. That is next season. I am not concentrating on next season.
:21:24. > :21:27.I do not want to lose my focus which is on the play-offs. Hull at
:21:27. > :21:32.me to show more to get the better of Leeds in the play-offs following

:21:42. > :21:49.
:21:49. > :21:55.back to the south of France after defeating Castleford. -- Hull KR
:21:56. > :21:59.will be. We are both looking forward to the match. They had a
:22:00. > :22:05.good win against Salford saw their confidence will be renewed. I am
:22:05. > :22:12.looking forward to it. All roads lead to Old Trafford, but first
:22:12. > :22:21.there are the games in a Headingley and the south of France. But Hull K
:22:21. > :22:25.R chairman will be on a flight to Australia looking for a successor
:22:25. > :22:27.to Justin Morgan. Onto football now and Scunthorpe
:22:27. > :22:30.United are to appeal against the controversial red card awarded to
:22:30. > :22:32.Andy Barcham in Saturday's draw with Sheffield United. If the
:22:32. > :22:35.appeal is successful, Barcham would be available for tomorrow night's
:22:35. > :22:42.game at Rochdale. The Iron are still without a league win this
:22:43. > :22:46.season which remains a real puzzle. Seven games in and still no big win
:22:46. > :22:51.for Scunthorpe United. Already this season, they have hit the woodwork
:22:51. > :22:56.seven times, suffered controversial red cards and had a late winning
:22:56. > :23:00.goals chalked off. You just have to keep that belief and as long as our
:23:00. > :23:06.performances are good, and we are playing really well, it will come.
:23:06. > :23:12.I think it is just around the corner. If you look at the league
:23:12. > :23:15.table... I do not look at it, not after six or seven games. I am
:23:15. > :23:20.quite sure that league table will be death from by the end of the
:23:20. > :23:24.season. It was another frustrating after them on Saturday. Andy
:23:24. > :23:34.Barcham it was controversially red- carded for this file on Michael

:23:35. > :23:41.Doyle. The decision has been appealed. Scunthorpe a lead after
:23:41. > :23:46.this goal on half-time. Despite their continued dominance,
