18/10/2011 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

The ALF. Welcome to Tuesday's Look North. -- hello. Calls for a cull

as road crashes with deers increase. A deer just ran out, straight

across the road, I did not see it inside -- I did not see it in time

and it hit the car. The mother left distraught by the theft of her baby

son's gravestone. The fruit that the supermarkets

used to bin it now helping families in crisis -- food.

Not as easy as it looks on the TV. The property guru was struggling

with her money pit mansion in East Yorkshire.

All the latest weather details in 15 minutes.

They are an increasingly common sight in the field of East

Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, but deer are posing a danger on the

region's roads. Beer are responsible for more than 40,000

road accidents nationwide each year, and the situation has got so bad

that one group is calling for a cull of the animals.

One of major's most elegant creatures, but the menace on the

roads. The Deer Initiative, which has a role in advising the

government, says that without a cull, the deer population will grow

out of control. Dr a prey animal. There is no predator, apart from

foxes to may be taking very young deer. As a professional deerstalker,

John gets called in to kill deer for landowners. He says careful

management is needed to stop the collisions on the road. Man has to

be the apex predator, and kill them as humanely as possible. A rifle

bullet is the way to do that. It causes as little disturbance to

their heads, and is as ethical as can be. Sam is not alone in

thinking a deer cull would be wrong, even they are just two days before

her wedding, she hit a deer close to the shop where she works. He it

was terrifying. It was 9 o'clock at night, and the deer came from

nowhere, shot across the road, went on to the bonnet and its head was

at the windscreen. It was terrifying. It did not cost some

her life, but getting her cat repaired was expensive. This body

shop at Hutton Cranswick prepares many deer damaged vehicles. They

tend to be Bonnett, headlight, bumper, and if the deer flies up

you can get roof and windscreen damage. It is quite substantial

sometimes. To two or three cows end up in his body shop each week

through the winter having had collisions with the air, so now is

the time to be most vigilant. Dangerous or not, these creatures

are not, and any plan to kill them by the 1,000 will meet stiff

opposition -- these creatures are loft. - loved.# I spoke to war from

the animal rights group People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals.

-- I spoke to Mimi Bekhechi. It is a really ineffective way of dealing

with wildlife. It does not address the problem. More animals will move

in to take the place of the ones who have been killed, and they will

reproduce even more quickly. We need to look at humane ways of

dealing with any conflict. We need to address the problem. But the

deer are causing accidents, damaging crops and property. How

would you manage the population to get rid of the numbers of deer?

Successful population management programmes deal with things like

Habitat modification, humane exclusion, like putting up electric

fences or repellents in order to keep the animals are. As long as

the area is hospitable, more animals will move in, and it will

not solve the problem. Deer are involved in 42,000 accidents a year.

What do you say, for example, to the family of 15-year-old Ben

Madden who was killed when his bicycle crash into Libya in August?

I am so sorry for them. -- his bicycle crashed into a deer in

August. I would want to see a situation

where we do not see any more of these accidents. Scapegoating deer

will not resolve the situation of accidents on the road. We will not

see a reduction in the number of accidents if we do not address the

problem. There was one stretch of road that saw culling brain

operation, and accidents when from 50 in a year to none. Is that not

evidence that it will cut down on the accident? If you do not address

the environment, more animals will move them. You may see a drop in

numbers initially, but as I said, as long as that area is hospitable,

more animals will move in and the numbers will spike again. It is not

a long-term solution. Long-term solutions look at you make

repellents and putting up electric fences. This country used to be

covered in warts. As we build more roads and encroach on the space of

wildlife, we need to find humane solutions that allow us to live

together. We will never achieve ecological harmony through the

barrel of a gun. Very good to talk to you.

What do you think about this? Should DAB culled? Is it down to

motorists to take more care? -- In a moment, the counterfeit toys

A mother from Lincolnshire has described thieves who stole her

son's gravestone as heartless. Michelle Holness discovered the

memorial stone was gone after a recent visit to the church.

Lincolnshire Police are now investigating.

Dion Holness died when he was just five days old. Ever since, his

grave has been a comfort to his mother. Now, someone has stolen the

gravestone. My own I first found out, I felt very cold inside -- and

when I first found out. I was in a state of shock. I went to bed and I

woke up at 4 o'clock, and I was distraught. It's is thought thieves

targeted it because it was in the shape of a heart, and it had made

gold leaf. The local community cannot believe someone would steal

a child's gravestone. It was very shocking to hear this had happened.

When a family has been bereaved, you cannot believe anybody would do

something to give them more pain. It is not the first time a

graveyard has been targeted by vandals. A few years ago Withernsea,

hundreds of headstones and ornaments were damaged, and there

was a similar incident in Scunthorpe, where maybe 150

headstones where tack. In May, several momentos went missing from

graves in Hull. Crimes like this are usually extremely difficult to

investigate, so the police are appealing to the local community to

help them solve this. Michelle and her family just want whoever took

this to give it back. It is sentimental. It is my special place.

Michelle Holness ending that report. The Foreign Office has confirmed

that a pilot from Hull has been killed in an air crash in southern

Africa. The plane had been taking off from a remote airstrip in

Botswana's Okavango Delta on Friday when it burst into flames. Martin

Creswell was among eight people killed in the accident -- Martin

Gresswell. Crispin Rolfe can tell us more.

Martin Gresswell was employed by the plane company Moremi Air, for

whom he flew tourist charters. The company described him as their most

experienced pilot, with more than 12,000 hours of flying under his

belt. According to social media site, he had said that the British

Army before flying for the UN in Somalia and Sudan. He leaves behind

him a wife and daughter. It follows the crash on Friday in which the

Cessna 208 he was flying burst into flames just after take-off. The

flight had been leaving from a remote airfield at a site famous

for its birds and wildlife. Botswana attract thousands of

tourists to its wildlife spot. This trip went tragically wrong. It left

eight bed and just four survivors. An investigation into the crash has

begun. Thank you.

See you tomorrow. In Britain, we waste �12 billion worth of edible

food every year. Just some of that food will be redistributed now as

aid in Hull. Thousands of needy families in East Yorkshire could

benefit. It is good quality food that has

been discarded by the supermarkets, thrown out and wasted for often

trivial reasons. What will have happened is either they will have

been overstocked, or they may have something wrong with the packaging,

they may have a wrong back. They would have gone to landfill. Under

a new scheme, the good World Development Trust has taken charge

of this warehoused. From here, unwanted suppliers will be sent to

will make a massive difference. feed ourselves day-to-day because

that is the only way we can do it. If you're getting food for free,

that saves on all sort of resources at home that you do not have to

mess around with, like potatoes. You can do so many meals with

potatoes. As a nation, we now discard more than 5 million tonnes

of edible food every year, costing as around �12 billion. A rise in

food poverty may be changing people's habits. These have become

with around 2000 people seeking help.

The latest scheme in Hull is one of the biggest so far up with 17

projects now established across the country. The situation in these

times is that people are struggling to afford basic foodstuffs.

Hopefully, this food will go out and help people. No one is going to

judge you. They can claim the food and take it away. I think it will

be such a help. You cannot put it into words. I think it really would

be a big help to people. The scheme is seeking volunteers to help -- --

help the project to expand. It is helping thousands in poverty to

feed their families. Thank you for the e-mails and text

messages last night about our story on litter. The East Riding Council

coaches in the clubs have taught them the skills that have got them

You have got to be over 16 years of age. But apart from that, at what

was put forward by Julie, who was in that film, was that you do not

have to be a coach. If you are a website builder or photographer,

you can help the club in that way. That is what many of these people

who are in workshops now are learning more about, to see what

skills they have. It is all about four when the Olympics have been

and gone, to make sure that the sporting heart of this community

continues to beat. It is just those people, the unsung

heroes of sports clubs, that the BBC is looking to honour. We are

asking you to nominate people for the BBC Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

Unsung Heroes Award. Last year you chose a Julie Norman who runs the

was a surprise because I come here every week to enjoy teaching the

thought that restoring Rise Hall had been a straightforward

take on and it is very much at risk. The biggest struggle for it was to

find it a purpose for existing. Our generation isn't here for that long

and we wanted to keep it alive and that is what we have done.

think, I will let it fall down? Yes! There are days when I think,

what is the point? Swimming against the tide, that is how I feel. Then

there are other days when amazing things happen. For instance, we

discover something amazing in the house all we find some history that

is exciting, and we need someone who used to work at the house. Then

you see when you have lots of contract as an they are doing

things, you see the house come alive with people and then you

think, it is worth it. We have read a lot. If someone came along with
