Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight. | :00:04. | :00:08. | |
A pioneering new approach to child obesity in Lincolnshire. | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
The plate that states how much our children should be eating. He would | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
get half that sort of size. She would get a full one. That is all | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
they get. Safety concerns after P&O announce | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
plans to re-register its Hull passenger ferries abroad. All my | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
life in Parliament, I have fought against flags of convenience. They | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
are not as safe. Putting their skills to the test. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Firefighters training in tough conditions ready for challenging | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
rescues. The One Show's Matt Baker brings | :00:42. | :00:51. | |
the latest leg of his epic rickshaw challenge to Lincolnshire. | :00:51. | :01:01. | |
:01:01. | :01:05. | ||
And will the sunshine still be with A radical scheme to cut child | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
obesity is being pioneered in Lincolnshire. All four-year-olds | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
starting school will be given a small plate to guide them as to how | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
much food they really need. The county has more overweight and | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
obese children than the national average, with more than 14% of 4 | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
and 5-year-old children being overweight. By the time they leave | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
primary school, this figure has risen to more than 19%. NHS | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
Lincolnshire is issuing 7,000 of the so-called "me size" plates this | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
year to try to reverse this trend. Our correspondent, Vicky Johnson | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
reports. These 4 and 5-year-olds at St | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
John's Community Infants near Lincoln are being measured and | :01:45. | :01:55. | |
:01:55. | :01:55. | ||
weighed, like all new school starters across the country. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
They'll be monitored again when they leave at 11. Current figures | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
show by then, around 20% of them will be overweight. Health | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
officials are convinced that introducing these new small plates | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
will help control both portion size and their weight. And there is a | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
plate for you. This is about getting parents to think about how | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
to give their children the right amount. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
But most parents we spoke to already realised that young | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
children need much smaller portions. How do you gauge how much to give | :02:33. | :02:43. | |
:02:43. | :02:43. | ||
your child? I would give two slices to him. She would get a whole one, | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
all topped up. These plates are just the latest | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
initiative to tackle the obesity epidemic. There is now more funding | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
for hot school meals, workshops on healthy eating and fit kid | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
programmes across the region. Individual schools are doing their | :02:54. | :03:03. | |
bit too. We try to keep that element of fun going throughout the | :03:03. | :03:13. | |
:03:13. | :03:15. | ||
school. Further Upper School, we have all sorts of equipment and | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
innovative approaches. These little ones are slim, fit and | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
raring to go. The challenge for us all is to help keep them that way. | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
Tam Fry is from the National Obesity Forum and he joins me now. | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
Tam, are these portion control plates a good idea? I think they | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
are very good idea. What a Lincolnshire is doing is to try and | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
blend of what happens at home with what happens at school. You can do | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
all you can as cool -- at school, but then what happens at home? | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
Giving the plate for the children to take home gives parents an idea. | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
I thoroughly approve of. But all these years, parents have managed | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
perfectly well. The greater proportion of mothers and fathers | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
have managed. But there is a significant minority who really do | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
not have a good idea of a child reading and how much it to give | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
children. -- child to a reading. Should are the plays be given to | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
every child or just the overweight ones? They should be given to every | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
child, otherwise have there is a stigma attached. You may lose a | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
little bit of money on it, but you when I read in the end because | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
everyone is treated the same way. can almost hear some parents | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
screaming at the television when they hear this. Can you imagine | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
them doing that? It is the nanny state gone mad. People can scream | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
at television sets as much as they like, but they have to understand | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
that the schools and the NHS are doing this as good advice. They are | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
not insisting that the plates are used. We think that these plates | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
are perhaps more appropriate than the plates children might normally | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
have, which could be large and full of food. Very interesting to talk | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
to you. Thank you for joining us. And we are interested to know what | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
you think about this one. Is it a good idea or a waste of money? Get | :05:35. | :05:45. | |

confident and sociable. How a youth scheme supported by Children in | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
Need is helping to bring teenagers out of their shell. | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
The Hull MP Karl Turner has demanded an urgent meeting with the | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
ferry company P & O after it decided to re-register two of its | :06:09. | :06:17. | |
passenger ferries which sail out of the city's docks. The Pride of York | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
and the Pride of Hull are currently UK registered, but will soon fly | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
the flag of the Bahamas. The company says it's trying to save | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
money on staff pay, but Mr Turner says he's worried about safety and | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
the rights of workers. In a moment, we'll hear from him, but first | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
here's our Business Correspondent Paul Murphy. | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
The Daily arrival and departure of the ferries in Hull has been a | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
common sight for more than 40 years. The impending changes that to most | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
of the state are subtle but important. Many ferries will be | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
registered, not in the UK, but in the Bahamas. It means that the | :06:58. | :07:08. | |
:07:08. | :07:09. | ||
company can avoid European employment law if. Under new | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
European laws, P&O are required to pay all staff the same rate for the | :07:15. | :07:25. | |
:07:25. | :07:42. | ||
same job. In a statement, P&O said Take-off the pride that. It is not | :07:42. | :07:51. | |
the pride of Hull. I spent all my see life fighting this sort of | :07:51. | :07:59. | |
thing. People have died under these are flags of convenience ships. | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
Maritime the unions believe it is bad news for British jobs. | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
Government needs to look again at seafaring and British jobs. One of | :08:10. | :08:18. | |
the consequences of not being on the British register means that P&O | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
will not be under the tonnage tax register and it not duty-bound to | :08:24. | :08:34. | |
:08:34. | :08:35. | ||
train up British sailors. Concerns are already being expressed about | :08:35. | :08:43. | |
the ethics of unequal pay. Hull MP Karl Turner says he's | :08:43. | :08:52. | |
extremely concerned. Many people who live and work in my | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
constituency will be affected by this. This is a blatant attempt by | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
P&O Ferries to get round the employment legislation, long | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
established employment laws, which protect workers. It is also an | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
attempt to circumvent health and safety laws, which is very worrying | :09:03. | :09:12. | |
to people who use those ferries. Different flags, it is commonplace, | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
no big deal? It might well be commonplace, but the management who | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
I have spoken to today, they have accepted this is an attempt to get | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
around employment law and they are worried about increasing cost and | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
wages bills. That is a massive concern to me. Are you saying that | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
safety is at risk? Absolutely, I am saying that safety is potentially | :09:36. | :09:45. | |
at risk. In 1987, the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster happened. | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
We have learned a lot from that disaster since then. Lots of | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
employment and health and safety legislation has found its way onto | :09:52. | :10:01. | |
the statute book as a result of that. You say you do not want to be | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
scare mongering, but you said today that you would not sail on one of | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
these ferries if they were registered like this, you would not | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
risk your safety. Isn't that irresponsible? It is not | :10:10. | :10:20. | |
:10:20. | :10:25. | ||
irresponsible, I mean what I have I have had reassurances from the | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
management today that they do not intend to sack any workers, but I | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
am concerned that this is about driving costs down which can only | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
have one result. But we are trying to attract people to Hull, should | :10:35. | :10:44. | |
they register in the Bahamas or move out of Hull? There is a ferry | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
terminal in Hull, I doubt very much that P&O are planning to do | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
anything but sail from Hull. But it is very concerning to me for the | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
reasons that I have talked about. But P&O need to do all they can to | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
survive. P&O told me that this is an attempt to get around employment | :11:04. | :11:14. | |
:11:14. | :11:16. | ||
laws. That is very worrying to me. Thank you very much indeed. Do you | :11:16. | :11:26. | |

agree or disagree with those The girlfriend of a man who died | :11:31. | :11:34. | |

ignored her warnings that he wasn't able to breathe. 23-year-old | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
William Pleasants was removed by bouncers from the Engine Shed venue | :11:39. | :11:42. | |

pollution. The Government says it has had delays on advice. | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
There were major hold ups during tonight's rush-hour as bomb | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
disposal experts dealt with the suspect object. Dodington ward was | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
closed after the object was uncovered. It was revealed to be | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
scrap-metal. A 16-year-old from Hull says a | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
charity funded by Children In Need has transformed her life. Rachel | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
Lawson's attention deficit disorder led to a been bullied. That has | :12:44. | :12:54. | |
:12:54. | :12:59. | ||
changed. Thanks to visit Bransholme Community Arts Enterprise. | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
I live near Kingswood. I used to get bullied down my street. I have | :13:07. | :13:14. | |
not been out to place since I was nine. That made me feel bad because | :13:14. | :13:24. | |
:13:24. | :13:26. | ||
I felt I was isolated. When I was in year five, I was diagnosed with | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
attention deficit disorder. I was treated like cannot weekend before | :13:32. | :13:40. | |
that. It made me lose my confidence. It made everything like a living | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
hell. I started going to a youth and media club at Bransholme | :13:47. | :13:57. | |
:13:57. | :13:58. | ||
Community Arts Enterprise. It has helped me so much. We do lots of | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
photography and to make stuff. are we doing today? We have | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
costumes. This benefits the K Irons in ways that are beyond what can be | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
described. The kids who come here, this is the only social thing they | :14:18. | :14:28. | |
:14:28. | :14:28. | ||
do. I'm going to the club and it changes the way I feel. I do not | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
have to worry about people thinking I am weird. Everyone here is the | :14:33. | :14:43. | |
same. I have been able to meet new people. My confidence has built up. | :14:43. | :14:51. | |
This club and the other clubs like it are really important. It helps | :14:51. | :15:01. | |
them feel like a regular part of society. Her story and it is | :15:01. | :15:11. | |

Still ahead, staying with Children In Need, a welcome for the one show | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
presenter Matt Baker as he travels through Lincolnshire on his right | :15:26. | :15:36. | |
:15:36. | :16:12. | ||
shot challenge. Here is the apology. Is then | :16:12. | :16:20. | |
appalled on the line? I heard that. What do you mean has she got it | :16:20. | :16:30. | |
:16:30. | :16:33. | ||
wrong? I got that or cast drawn. They headline it is one of variable | :16:33. | :16:43. | |
:16:43. | :16:48. | ||
cloud. Sunshine will be fake. After days of dark skies, we had some sun. | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
That has swept across all parts. I am sure we will not get it right | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
tomorrow but we will try our best. This dry area is bringing moister | :17:03. | :17:12. | |
and that is causing cloud to redevelop. It is colder than last | :17:12. | :17:22. | |
:17:22. | :17:41. | ||
The sun will rise at 739. It will be a mixed bag in the morning. The | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
cloud will come and go but there is every chance we will get these | :17:45. | :17:55. | |
:17:55. | :18:06. | ||
breaks from time to time. Thursday looks nice. Quite a bit of sunshine | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
coming through. It was the clouds called for going in the wrong | :18:14. | :18:24. | |
:18:24. | :18:27. | ||
place? The weather goes wrong. | :18:27. | :18:35. | |
Thanks for being in touch about the reduction of speed limits. Many | :18:35. | :18:45. | |
:18:45. | :19:15. | ||
villages will see speed limits drop Thank you for doors. | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
Firefighters from Immingham have been testing their rescue skills at | :19:19. | :19:27. | |
a quarry. They have been practising that more unusual scenarios | :19:27. | :19:36. | |
involving water, mud and drops. Hard work and teamwork are vital | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
during a rescue but it is not often that these men get the chance to | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
practise saving lives. This team of fire fighters are using the site to | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
try out their rescue skills and a number of situations. We are faced | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
with lots of challenging muddy areas around the Humber. There are | :19:59. | :20:07. | |
lots -- it there is lot of mud around. This is a or by four of raw | :20:07. | :20:17. | |
:20:17. | :20:18. | ||
track. It is rough terrain. The fire fighters say these are perfect | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
surroundings to test their skills. It gives us the chance to work in | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
realistic environments. You get a sense of satisfaction that we eat | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
you are trained to the best of your ability. These are the scenarios we | :20:34. | :20:44. | |
:20:44. | :20:44. | ||
find people trapped in. This is Utopia. Training like this usually | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
does not come cheap and with a tightening budget, they would not | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
be able to afford it. The company that run the site has offered it | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
for free for will stop we are offering something back to the | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
locals by training for the fire brigade. It is hoped that the next | :21:04. | :21:13. | |
time someone needs this help, this rescue service will be prepared. | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
Yorkshire cricket has sacked three of its long-serving coaches | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
following relegation from Division One. Martyn Moxon survives with the | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
backing of the board and his team will be boosted by the addition of | :21:27. | :21:35. | |
Australian Jason Gillespie. They have given me their support. I | :21:35. | :21:42. | |
thank them for that support. There is no one more disappointed by has | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
been relegated. Hull City say they plan to issue a statement about | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
their manager's position this evening. It is expected to confirm | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
net Barmby as caretaker manager Anthony offer some clarity on Nigel | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
Pearson's move. The one show presenter Matt Baker | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
brought his epic Children In Need right shot Challenge tour part of | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
the world today. This morning, he arrived in East Yorkshire before | :22:14. | :22:24. | |
:22:24. | :22:25. | ||
heading to Lincolnshire. Through gritted teeth, Matt Baker | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
is making steady progress. His challenge briefly stopping or | :22:31. | :22:41. | |
:22:41. | :22:41. | ||
unimportant break in Goole. It has been the most difficult day of the | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
challenge so far. Here when a few familiar faces, his grandfather and | :22:48. | :22:58. | |
:22:58. | :22:59. | ||
his sister who lives in Hull. feeling that fatigue now. If he | :22:59. | :23:07. | |
says he will do something, he will do it. If he is on crutches, he | :23:07. | :23:15. | |
will make it. Every day has had challenges, the miles, injuries. I | :23:15. | :23:24. | |
have been up and down. Pushing two extremes is what Matt Baker is all | :23:24. | :23:31. | |
about. As a gymnast, he represented England. As a Blue Peter presenter, | :23:31. | :23:41. | |
:23:41. | :23:41. | ||
he broke records. On strictly, he danced his way to the final. As in | :23:41. | :23:49. | |
Goole this morning, supporters have been out in force. It is fantastic. | :23:49. | :23:56. | |
He can consume 9,000 calories a day and look like that, I am jealous. | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
The support is unbelievable. People have been lining the streets from | :24:00. | :24:09. | |
here to end borough and have been throwing money at me. Along the way, | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
Matt has collected passengers. It makes the right shop feel like the | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
brakes are on. He is now heading for Lincolnshire and the flatter | :24:21. | :24:31. | |
:24:31. | :24:32. | ||
landscape should prove easier. Matter is expected in linking later. | :24:32. | :24:39. | |
Where is he? He should be here by now. It has been an incredibly | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
difficult day. We have heard he is in a bit of pain. This challenge is | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
proving more difficult than many people had got. When he arrives, | :24:50. | :24:57. | |
there is a big crowd here. He is our national president and we | :24:58. | :25:06. | |
cannot wait to greet him. What you think about what he has done? | :25:06. | :25:15. | |
amount he has raised his amazing. Let us try to make a million. | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
is confident he can make that Television Centre on Friday. He has | :25:19. | :25:26. | |
already raised almost half a million times. As he continues to | :25:26. | :25:36. | |
:25:36. | :25:40. | ||
