:00:04. > :00:08.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight:

:00:08. > :00:12.One in ten out of work. Unemployment figures hit hardest in

:00:12. > :00:15.Yorkshire and the Humber. It comes on the same day as workers

:00:15. > :00:18.fighting to save their jobs get support from the Shadow Defence

:00:18. > :00:25.Secretary. These are generations of workers

:00:25. > :00:29.who have helped build remarkable pieces of engineering ingenuity.

:00:29. > :00:33.The country is proud of them, they shouldn't be dumped on the dole.

:00:33. > :00:38.Told to pay more than �20,000 after putting the lives of staff and

:00:38. > :00:41.students at risk. Taking over at Hull City. Nick

:00:41. > :00:44.Barmby is named as their caretaker manager.

:00:44. > :00:54.And TV presenter Matt Baker continues with his Children in Need

:00:54. > :00:57.

:00:57. > :01:03.rickshaw challenge. And don't forget your detailed weather

:01:03. > :01:06.forecast in the next 15 minutes. Unemployment is at its highest for

:01:06. > :01:12.a generation, and the latest figures show the Yorkshire and

:01:12. > :01:15.Humber region has been hit harder than anywhere else in the country.

:01:15. > :01:20.The government has blamed a large rise in unemployment here on the

:01:20. > :01:23.economic crisis sweeping the euro- zone. Of the 129,000 people added

:01:23. > :01:31.to the national jobless total between July and September, 50,000

:01:31. > :01:34.were in the Yorkshire and Humber. One in 10 of the adult population

:01:34. > :01:37.in the region is now without work. The number of people claiming

:01:37. > :01:42.Jobseeker's Allowance in Hull is more than twice the national

:01:42. > :01:45.average. In Grimsby, it's 50% percent above the national average.

:01:45. > :01:55.The Employment Minister told BBC Look North the government was doing

:01:55. > :01:55.

:01:55. > :01:59.everything possible to create new jobs. The disappointment in

:01:59. > :02:04.Yorkshire and Humber and other towns like them across the region

:02:04. > :02:08.is that a few months ago, we were seeing genuine recruitment in the

:02:08. > :02:12.market. As a result of the crisis, we have seen a drop in business

:02:12. > :02:15.confidence and the labour market turning in the wrong direction. We

:02:15. > :02:19.need to focus on getting the economy in the region are growing

:02:19. > :02:25.again. That is why so much of the many attractive through the

:02:25. > :02:28.Regional Growth Fund is coming to Yorkshire and the Humber.

:02:28. > :02:32.It comes on the day that almost 900 workers facing redundancy in East

:02:32. > :02:36.Yorkshire were visited by the Shadow Defence Secretary. Labour's

:02:36. > :02:39.Jim Murphy was at BAE systems in Brough to meet the affected workers.

:02:39. > :02:49.The cuts were announced in September when BAE said it would no

:02:49. > :02:52.

:02:52. > :02:56.longer be manufacturing the hawk jet in East Yorkshire. The shadow

:02:56. > :03:00.defence secretary arrived at the British Aerospace factory with

:03:00. > :03:07.words of support this morning for the 899 workers set to lose their

:03:07. > :03:11.jobs. Many whose photographs and stories have been listed in a book.

:03:11. > :03:16.33 years. You must have started here straight after school.

:03:16. > :03:21.mandate here where, for more than 40 years, the Hawk Gent has been

:03:21. > :03:24.built. Production which is believed to have been stopped for no good

:03:24. > :03:27.reason. The Government has got to look at what it can do about

:03:28. > :03:31.changing its approach to defence investment and spending. The

:03:31. > :03:36.company will have to look again at its plans. The workforce have made

:03:36. > :03:40.a country proud. The end of manufacturing here was announced at

:03:40. > :03:45.the end of September. A decision much managers have blamed on

:03:45. > :03:52.falling orders. Protesters have raised concerns. A week on Thursday,

:03:52. > :03:57.it has now sparked a parliamentary debate. In December, workers to put

:03:57. > :04:05.-- in 10 to lobby Parliament. are hoping to get our wives,

:04:05. > :04:12.partners, or go friends, children to take part. It sums it up. This

:04:12. > :04:15.is a family photo. Some men have got a long service at the site.

:04:15. > :04:22.Shadow Defence Secretary met the team poor, in October, cycled to

:04:22. > :04:26.the Labour and Conservative Party conferences. Some people just think,

:04:26. > :04:30.that is it, it is the end. My job is no more. Other people are

:04:30. > :04:35.thinking, let's do something about this. We can make a difference. We

:04:35. > :04:39.carry on fighting as long as we can. It is hard to say how much

:04:39. > :04:44.influence today's visit by the shadow defence secretary will have.

:04:44. > :04:48.Some see it as nothing more than a gesture. For a desperate workforce,

:04:48. > :04:52.it seems that all support she is welcome.

:04:52. > :05:01.I spoke with Jim Murphy after his visit to Brough. I asked him what

:05:01. > :05:05.the workers there had to say to him. They are pretty approach of all

:05:05. > :05:09.they have done over the years. They have changed as times have changed.

:05:09. > :05:13.They have changed their shift patterns and modernised their work

:05:14. > :05:19.practices. They are really annoyed at that after the redundancies in

:05:19. > :05:24.the summer, there is a new round of redundancies. There are more than

:05:24. > :05:30.annoyed. They are very determined. They will not go down without a

:05:30. > :05:35.fight. Is your visit today a bit of a gimmick? You are in opposition.

:05:35. > :05:39.There is nothing you can do. unions and management asked to meet

:05:39. > :05:44.me. I was pleased to do that. More importantly, we have got to take

:05:44. > :05:49.that case to the country. There is a big debate in the House of

:05:49. > :05:52.Commons where the case will be made very strongly. He do not think this

:05:52. > :05:56.story is over. You think there is more to come. What can be done to

:05:56. > :06:00.reverse the decision? There is a long way to go. When the

:06:00. > :06:04.announcement was made, some people thought that was it. There is no

:06:04. > :06:10.space for belligerence from the company. We cannot have a

:06:10. > :06:14.consultation that ends at the same point when the announcement started.

:06:14. > :06:18.The unions and beast work force are making a strong case. They will

:06:18. > :06:23.come to Parliament. I think the company should change its mind.

:06:23. > :06:26.This is it comes as it is announced that unemployment sure is one in 10.

:06:26. > :06:30.The Tories say this is a legacy of when you were in power. What would

:06:30. > :06:35.you do to get people back into work? We have got to render its

:06:35. > :06:39.problems year. It is a very bad day for the whole country. We have got

:06:39. > :06:44.over one million young people out of work. Sadly, in Hull, the

:06:44. > :06:47.problem is possibly the worst in the hall of England. We would

:06:47. > :06:52.introduce a scheme called the future jobs fund which would give

:06:52. > :06:56.young people the chance to get back into work, to get the skills, the

:06:56. > :06:59.confidence, to earn a living, to earn a wage. Surely that is a

:06:59. > :07:04.better thing to do them having a million young people on the dole,

:07:04. > :07:08.not paying taxes, taking benefit. There has to be a more sensible way

:07:08. > :07:12.of doing it. The Government should use today as an opportunity to

:07:12. > :07:17.think again. People have all worked at Brough do not care who is in

:07:17. > :07:22.power were, as long as their jobs are safe. Could that happen?

:07:22. > :07:26.think there is a chance that many of the jobs at's could be saved.

:07:26. > :07:30.The company has to change its mind, but the Government has to come

:07:30. > :07:35.involved. It cannot just watch on the TV screens or read about it.

:07:35. > :07:38.They have to do whatever is necessary. No option should be

:07:38. > :07:42.taken off the table in terms of happened these people. That

:07:42. > :07:46.involves the Government been much more active than they are at the

:07:46. > :07:51.moment. I'm sure you have a view on this.

:07:51. > :07:54.One in ten people in this part of the world are now out of work. Are

:07:54. > :07:58.you one of them? Does that figure surprise you? We've heard what

:07:58. > :08:08.Labour thinks is the answer, what do you think needs to be done?

:08:08. > :08:19.

:08:19. > :08:21.Please get in touch. The details In a moment:

:08:21. > :08:30.How Children in Need is helping disabled youngsters break into the

:08:30. > :08:33.The University of Lincoln has been fined �10,000 after admitting

:08:33. > :08:37.putting the lives of thousands of staff and students at risk of

:08:37. > :08:39.contamination from asbestos. The Health and Safety Executive has

:08:39. > :08:44.criticised the university for failing to implement adequate

:08:44. > :08:54.precautions. It's also been landed with a bill for almost �13,000 in

:08:54. > :08:55.

:08:55. > :09:01.costs. While the University of Lincoln is one of the minister in

:09:01. > :09:05.the country, some of its buildings are very old and many are full of

:09:05. > :09:09.asbestos. The Health and Safety Executive were alerted by a

:09:09. > :09:14.lecturer for got locked in a room and noticed grey dust around the

:09:14. > :09:17.handle. This was in February of last year. Lincoln magistrates'

:09:17. > :09:22.court here today that the University of Lincoln had been made

:09:22. > :09:27.aware by independent asbestos assessors back in 2006 that

:09:27. > :09:31.remedial work was needed on the doors in the area. But nothing had

:09:31. > :09:39.been done. The magistrates at the University's early guilty plea was

:09:39. > :09:43.taken into account and they reduced its fine from �15,000 to �10,000.

:09:43. > :09:46.The actual offence today alleged was the failure to implement the

:09:46. > :09:51.plans that they did have in place and to have suitable arrangements

:09:51. > :09:56.to do so. Asbestos was a proper building material until it was

:09:56. > :10:01.banned in 1999. It can be found in ceiling tiles, pipe insulation and

:10:01. > :10:05.boilers. Asbestos material in good condition is safe, but can become

:10:05. > :10:10.airborne when the materials are damaged. If people breathe it in,

:10:10. > :10:15.it can cause serious diseases which are responsible for around 4,000

:10:15. > :10:20.deaths a year. It is a very good and safe material if it is in good

:10:20. > :10:27.condition, if it is sealed and sound. When you just did it, it

:10:27. > :10:31.needs removing properly, you have got to control any release and do

:10:31. > :10:37.with through certain methods. You cannot knock it down by hand. You

:10:37. > :10:44.have got to treated with respect. He the risk increases according to

:10:44. > :10:46.the degree of exposed here to asbestos fibres, how heavy the of

:10:46. > :10:54.exposure was a loss of the length of time. This is a particular

:10:54. > :10:58.concern to people have had heavy from the University have resigned

:10:58. > :11:01.since the incidence and all buildings have now been made safe.

:11:01. > :11:08.And Vicky is at the Magistrates' court for us now. Vicky, what has

:11:08. > :11:11.Lincoln University had to say about this? Nobody has been made

:11:11. > :11:15.available for an interview, but they have released a statement

:11:15. > :11:19.saying that the health and safety of all of its students, staff and

:11:19. > :11:24.visitors remain of the utmost importance. They say that

:11:24. > :11:26.university officials co-ordinated fully during the Health and Safety

:11:26. > :11:30.Executive investigation and have continued to co-operate fully since

:11:30. > :11:36.then. They say that the policies and procedures have all been

:11:36. > :11:42.updated, they have been modernised and that now, all the regulations

:11:42. > :11:46.surrounding the premises are now fully compliant.

:11:46. > :11:49.The family of a father of 10 who was murdered in his own home in

:11:50. > :11:52.Lincoln have made a renewed appeal for help in finding his killers.

:11:52. > :11:57.70-year-old Sonny Grey died following a violent attack at the

:11:57. > :12:01.end of last month. His family say he was a loveable rogue with a big

:12:01. > :12:03.heart and they say they want anyone with any information to speak to

:12:03. > :12:06.the police. A decision is due shortly on

:12:06. > :12:10.whether to approve plans for a 220- berth marina at Cherry Willingham

:12:10. > :12:15.near Lincoln. The development would give access to moorings from the

:12:15. > :12:18.River Witham and includes plans for a hotel and restaurant.

:12:23. > :12:27.trying to become an actor when you suffer from Down's syndrome. Young

:12:27. > :12:30.Tommy Patrick has big ambitions of working in theatre. And now, thanks

:12:30. > :12:34.to a charity which receives money from Children in Need, he's a step

:12:34. > :12:44.closer to that. The Shipmates drama group in Goole is specifically for

:12:44. > :12:49.

:12:49. > :12:55.children with disabilities, as Tommy explains.

:12:55. > :13:05.I am 13 years old. I have Down's syndrome. I want to do acting when

:13:05. > :13:08.I grow up. We provide inclusive music, dance and drama activities

:13:08. > :13:18.for children with learning difficulties and autistic spectrum

:13:18. > :13:18.

:13:18. > :13:24.conditions. It is helping me learn how to act. I really enjoy acting.

:13:24. > :13:28.What if this was a bouncier ball? Before he came here, we tried a

:13:29. > :13:32.mainstream classes, but he does not have any friends. Where have --

:13:32. > :13:41.where his year, they have all that special needs and can all be

:14:40. > :14:46.If it wasn't for this, he would probably be sat at home. I would

:14:47. > :14:52.have nothing to do without it. I love being here so much. Tommy

:15:49. > :15:56.Tonight's photograph is of Flamborough. Thank-you for that.

:15:56. > :15:59.Another photo tomorrow. I think you're going to point out

:15:59. > :16:05.that the forecast went rather well today!

:16:05. > :16:12.I do not think you should be gloating.

:16:12. > :16:17.I have not had one complement! Cloudy skies will clear. That is

:16:17. > :16:22.the main focus of the forecast. We will have a south-westerly breeze

:16:22. > :16:27.tomorrow, something we have not been used to for the last few weeks.

:16:27. > :16:33.It might take Lincoln all morning to brighten up. East Yorkshire

:16:33. > :16:40.might see the sunshine in the morning. By the weekend, we will be

:16:40. > :16:45.back to square one. There could be a lot of cloud from the Continent.

:16:45. > :16:49.The clouds have broken across Lincolnshire, so it is quite chilly.

:16:49. > :16:55.We have temperatures down to five degrees in Holbeach. It looks as

:16:55. > :16:58.though these breaks will be short- lived. The trend is for cloud to

:16:58. > :17:04.increase from the south-west. It could be thick enough for some

:17:04. > :17:14.patchy rain in places. I think about will be small. Quite a few

:17:14. > :17:16.

:17:16. > :17:26.places will stay dry. The sun will rise in the morning at 7:31am,

:17:26. > :17:29.

:17:29. > :17:33.setting at fora 1pm. Perhaps there will be some dampness in the air.

:17:33. > :17:41.That south-westerly breeze Brighton's East Yorkshire, then

:17:41. > :17:46.Lincolnshire brightens up a early afternoon. It is a big improvement

:17:46. > :17:53.on the way. By the afternoon, most of those will be basking in the

:17:53. > :18:00.autumn sunshine. It will be mild in Hull at 12. Friday is cloudy, mild

:18:00. > :18:07.and windy. It looks as though the weekend will be mostly dry.

:18:07. > :18:14.Some viewers have found a way of getting rid of you. Look at this.

:18:14. > :18:19.It says, if I am white, it is raining -- if I am aware it, it is

:18:19. > :18:24.raining. It is very small!

:18:24. > :18:30.After days of speculation, Nick Barmby has been officially named as

:18:30. > :18:33.Hull City's new caretaker manager. The 37-year-old is taking over from

:18:33. > :18:36.Nigel Pearson, who's returned to take charge at Leicester City.

:18:36. > :18:40.Barmby's played for the Tigers for more than seven years, but he's got

:18:40. > :18:48.no experience as a manager. Sarah Corker has been to Barmby's old

:18:48. > :18:55.school in Hull to find out more. For many, it is a child dream, to

:18:55. > :18:59.manage your local football club. At Nick Barmby's old-school, we asked

:18:59. > :19:09.some aspiring managers of the future for some words of wisdom for

:19:09. > :19:11.

:19:11. > :19:16.the new boss. Get good players, so we win more matches. But a good

:19:16. > :19:23.team up. Some good defence. Ask for a load of money and bring in new

:19:23. > :19:26.players. Get the fans behind us. With more than 23 caps for England,

:19:26. > :19:33.Barmby has plenty of experience on the pitch, playing for a number of

:19:33. > :19:38.top clubs, including Liverpool and Everton. After joining Hull City,

:19:38. > :19:42.helping the Tigers to promotion to the Premiership, he has become a

:19:42. > :19:47.favourite. With little managerial experience, some feel his

:19:48. > :19:52.appointment is a gamble. One person backing him for great things is his

:19:52. > :19:57.former boss. Not only has he been a fantastic servant for the club, I

:19:57. > :20:01.think the players will respond very well to him. I wish the club every

:20:01. > :20:06.success. The farmers say they are willing to give him a chance.

:20:06. > :20:11.Somebody has to start somewhere. -- the fans say they are willing to

:20:11. > :20:18.give them a chance. You learn on the job. A after a turbulent week

:20:18. > :20:22.here, what many fans now want to know is will Nick Barmby continue

:20:22. > :20:26.playing and become a player manager, what does this signal the end of

:20:26. > :20:31.his career on the pitch? His first challenge will be keeping their

:20:31. > :20:34.promotion push going away at Derby this weekend.

:20:34. > :20:36.P and O Ferries have rejected claims by a Hull MP that they could

:20:36. > :20:39.compromise safety by re-registering two Hull-based ferries in The

:20:39. > :20:42.Bahamas. The East Hull MP Karl Turner claimed on last night's

:20:42. > :20:45.programme that the move will mean the company can get round health

:20:45. > :20:54.and safety laws. P and O say this is simply wrong and they'll

:20:54. > :21:04.continue to abide by international laws on maritime safety.

:21:04. > :21:40.

:21:40. > :21:42.And we've had plenty of responses It's been announced that Prince

:21:42. > :21:47.Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall will visit Lincolnshire in two

:21:47. > :21:50.weeks time. The royal couple will have a tour of Lincoln Cathedral,

:21:50. > :21:52.to see restoration work currently under way. Prince Charles will then

:21:52. > :22:01.meet young farmers at Riseholme Agricultural college, and the

:22:01. > :22:06.couple will meet up again at the Cholmeley Arms near Grantham.

:22:06. > :22:11.will be really exciting. Hopefully, a lot of people come out onto the

:22:11. > :22:16.street and welcome them into their village. You do not think of them

:22:16. > :22:19.coming to a little village pub, especially one as small as this. We

:22:19. > :22:23.are delighted. That will be a big day.

:22:23. > :22:25.The search is on tonight find the owners of these, a forgotten set of

:22:25. > :22:29.Lincolnshire photos dating back to the late 1800s. The old picture

:22:29. > :22:32.album was found at a tip in Louth, and is thought to feature a family

:22:32. > :22:42.thought to be living somewhere near Scunthorpe. As Crispin Rolfe

:22:42. > :22:44.

:22:44. > :22:47.reports, the challenge now is to find their descendants. I think

:22:47. > :22:50.they are working people. You can see the back of what looks like a

:22:50. > :22:53.row of terraced houses. Where, when and most importantly

:22:53. > :23:00.who. The questions Chris Belton is asking after finding this album at

:23:00. > :23:08.a recycling centre in Louth. She's set herself the challenge of

:23:12. > :23:18.The photos at the back Arrow Flixborough, which is south-east of

:23:18. > :23:20.Scunthorpe. I assume they are from this area.

:23:21. > :23:23.The biggest clue to finding the family maybe in these regimental

:23:24. > :23:30.markings. But there are other hints for historians about the wheres and

:23:30. > :23:40.the whens. Looking at the eight children's dresses and the younger

:23:40. > :23:41.

:23:41. > :23:45.women's costumes, it probably dates from early 1900s of the late 1,800.

:23:45. > :23:47.Men a totally unfashionable. Of course, 100 years on, so much

:23:48. > :23:56.has changed. Normandby Lodge for one no longer exists. And village

:23:56. > :24:01.life in Flixborough is a world away from the end of the Victorian era.

:24:01. > :24:06.The photo album poses the question. Not so much who do you think you

:24:06. > :24:10.are, but who do we think they were? So much has changed. This church

:24:10. > :24:13.did not have the tree in front of it, for example. So is the trail

:24:13. > :24:21.cold? Well, the hope is that someone may recognise these family

:24:21. > :24:25.snaps, and lay claim to them and their ancestors. If you think you

:24:25. > :24:31.know anything, send an e-mail. Well, he finally arrived at around

:24:31. > :24:34.half past ten last night, four hours later than he'd expected. But

:24:34. > :24:37.today, the One Show's Matt Baker has got back on his rickshaw to

:24:37. > :24:39.complete the next stage of his Children In Need challenge, cycling

:24:39. > :24:42.from Edinburgh to London. But today's journey across Lincolnshire

:24:42. > :24:49.en route to Peterborough hasn't gone quite to plan, as Amanda

:24:49. > :24:52.Thomson reports. It should have been a 6 am start

:24:52. > :25:01.from Lincoln this morning, but yesterday proved to me a nightmare,

:25:01. > :25:07.Matt arriving four hours late to his hotel. I am feeling the fatigue

:25:07. > :25:10.of the last four days. I am not sleeping well. My knees have been

:25:10. > :25:13.the biggest issue. Bravely, Matt got up this morning,

:25:14. > :25:23.and four hours later than planned headed to Peterborough. This was

:25:24. > :25:32.

:25:32. > :25:35.He was welcomed in Branstonn and Scopwick.

:25:35. > :25:45.But at Timberland they practiced their cheers for a rickshaw that

:25:45. > :25:47.

:25:47. > :25:52.wasn't coming. We finally caught up with him. We're going in the right

:25:52. > :25:59.direction, which is the main thing. Roadworks caused the last minute

:25:59. > :26:09.change, but at least they did not miss this. We thought we would give

:26:09. > :26:11.

:26:11. > :26:17.him a disco will come! -- welcome. I was pleased I got here and I saw

:26:17. > :26:21.matter. He is wonderful. I voted for him when he was on Strictly

:26:21. > :26:27.Come Dancing. Not only has Matt Baker enjoyed Lincolnshire, those

:26:27. > :26:32.of us chasing around the country -- county have also enjoyed it. It has

:26:32. > :26:41.been worth it, hasn't it? Yeah so! It is still a long way to

:26:41. > :26:44.Peterborough. Well done to everybody who turned out to support

:26:44. > :26:47.him. Let's get a recap of the national

:26:47. > :26:50.and regional headlines Fears of a lost generation as a record number

:26:50. > :26:53.of young people are classed as unemployed and this area's one of

:26:53. > :26:56.the hardest hit. One in ten are out of work in Yorkshire and Northern

:26:56. > :26:58.Lincolnshire. Tomorrow's weather. A cloudy, possibly damp start to the

:26:59. > :27:01.day brightening up with all parts becoming dry with sunny spells.

:27:01. > :27:07.Maximum temperatures of 12 degrees Celsius. That's 54 degrees

:27:07. > :27:11.Fahrenheit. Keith says, the unemployment

:27:11. > :27:16.figures are disgusting. The government does not help by putting

:27:16. > :27:21.retirement age is up. Why do they not bring the age down? Sunset, we

:27:21. > :27:25.are trying to recruit an apprentice but nobody seemed interested.

:27:25. > :27:31.Somebody else saying, most places require work experience, but my
