Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight:

:00:04.:00:08.

One in ten out of work. Unemployment figures hit hardest in

:00:08.:00:12.

Yorkshire and the Humber. It comes on the same day as workers

:00:12.:00:15.

fighting to save their jobs get support from the Shadow Defence

:00:15.:00:18.

Secretary. These are generations of workers

:00:18.:00:25.

who have helped build remarkable pieces of engineering ingenuity.

:00:25.:00:29.

The country is proud of them, they shouldn't be dumped on the dole.

:00:29.:00:33.

Told to pay more than �20,000 after putting the lives of staff and

:00:33.:00:38.

students at risk. Taking over at Hull City. Nick

:00:38.:00:41.

Barmby is named as their caretaker manager.

:00:41.:00:44.

And TV presenter Matt Baker continues with his Children in Need

:00:44.:00:54.
:00:54.:00:57.

rickshaw challenge. And don't forget your detailed weather

:00:57.:01:03.

forecast in the next 15 minutes. Unemployment is at its highest for

:01:03.:01:06.

a generation, and the latest figures show the Yorkshire and

:01:06.:01:12.

Humber region has been hit harder than anywhere else in the country.

:01:12.:01:15.

The government has blamed a large rise in unemployment here on the

:01:15.:01:20.

economic crisis sweeping the euro- zone. Of the 129,000 people added

:01:20.:01:23.

to the national jobless total between July and September, 50,000

:01:23.:01:31.

were in the Yorkshire and Humber. One in 10 of the adult population

:01:31.:01:34.

in the region is now without work. The number of people claiming

:01:34.:01:37.

Jobseeker's Allowance in Hull is more than twice the national

:01:37.:01:42.

average. In Grimsby, it's 50% percent above the national average.

:01:42.:01:45.

The Employment Minister told BBC Look North the government was doing

:01:45.:01:55.
:01:55.:01:55.

everything possible to create new jobs. The disappointment in

:01:55.:01:59.

Yorkshire and Humber and other towns like them across the region

:01:59.:02:04.

is that a few months ago, we were seeing genuine recruitment in the

:02:04.:02:08.

market. As a result of the crisis, we have seen a drop in business

:02:08.:02:12.

confidence and the labour market turning in the wrong direction. We

:02:12.:02:15.

need to focus on getting the economy in the region are growing

:02:15.:02:19.

again. That is why so much of the many attractive through the

:02:19.:02:25.

Regional Growth Fund is coming to Yorkshire and the Humber.

:02:25.:02:28.

It comes on the day that almost 900 workers facing redundancy in East

:02:28.:02:32.

Yorkshire were visited by the Shadow Defence Secretary. Labour's

:02:32.:02:36.

Jim Murphy was at BAE systems in Brough to meet the affected workers.

:02:36.:02:39.

The cuts were announced in September when BAE said it would no

:02:39.:02:49.
:02:49.:02:52.

longer be manufacturing the hawk jet in East Yorkshire. The shadow

:02:52.:02:56.

defence secretary arrived at the British Aerospace factory with

:02:56.:03:00.

words of support this morning for the 899 workers set to lose their

:03:00.:03:07.

jobs. Many whose photographs and stories have been listed in a book.

:03:07.:03:11.

33 years. You must have started here straight after school.

:03:11.:03:16.

mandate here where, for more than 40 years, the Hawk Gent has been

:03:16.:03:21.

built. Production which is believed to have been stopped for no good

:03:21.:03:24.

reason. The Government has got to look at what it can do about

:03:24.:03:27.

changing its approach to defence investment and spending. The

:03:28.:03:31.

company will have to look again at its plans. The workforce have made

:03:31.:03:36.

a country proud. The end of manufacturing here was announced at

:03:36.:03:40.

the end of September. A decision much managers have blamed on

:03:40.:03:45.

falling orders. Protesters have raised concerns. A week on Thursday,

:03:45.:03:52.

it has now sparked a parliamentary debate. In December, workers to put

:03:52.:03:57.

-- in 10 to lobby Parliament. are hoping to get our wives,

:03:57.:04:05.

partners, or go friends, children to take part. It sums it up. This

:04:05.:04:12.

is a family photo. Some men have got a long service at the site.

:04:12.:04:15.

Shadow Defence Secretary met the team poor, in October, cycled to

:04:15.:04:22.

the Labour and Conservative Party conferences. Some people just think,

:04:22.:04:26.

that is it, it is the end. My job is no more. Other people are

:04:26.:04:30.

thinking, let's do something about this. We can make a difference. We

:04:30.:04:35.

carry on fighting as long as we can. It is hard to say how much

:04:35.:04:39.

influence today's visit by the shadow defence secretary will have.

:04:39.:04:44.

Some see it as nothing more than a gesture. For a desperate workforce,

:04:44.:04:48.

it seems that all support she is welcome.

:04:48.:04:52.

I spoke with Jim Murphy after his visit to Brough. I asked him what

:04:52.:05:01.

the workers there had to say to him. They are pretty approach of all

:05:01.:05:05.

they have done over the years. They have changed as times have changed.

:05:05.:05:09.

They have changed their shift patterns and modernised their work

:05:09.:05:13.

practices. They are really annoyed at that after the redundancies in

:05:14.:05:19.

the summer, there is a new round of redundancies. There are more than

:05:19.:05:24.

annoyed. They are very determined. They will not go down without a

:05:24.:05:30.

fight. Is your visit today a bit of a gimmick? You are in opposition.

:05:30.:05:35.

There is nothing you can do. unions and management asked to meet

:05:35.:05:39.

me. I was pleased to do that. More importantly, we have got to take

:05:39.:05:44.

that case to the country. There is a big debate in the House of

:05:44.:05:49.

Commons where the case will be made very strongly. He do not think this

:05:49.:05:52.

story is over. You think there is more to come. What can be done to

:05:52.:05:56.

reverse the decision? There is a long way to go. When the

:05:56.:06:00.

announcement was made, some people thought that was it. There is no

:06:00.:06:04.

space for belligerence from the company. We cannot have a

:06:04.:06:10.

consultation that ends at the same point when the announcement started.

:06:10.:06:14.

The unions and beast work force are making a strong case. They will

:06:14.:06:18.

come to Parliament. I think the company should change its mind.

:06:18.:06:23.

This is it comes as it is announced that unemployment sure is one in 10.

:06:23.:06:26.

The Tories say this is a legacy of when you were in power. What would

:06:26.:06:30.

you do to get people back into work? We have got to render its

:06:30.:06:35.

problems year. It is a very bad day for the whole country. We have got

:06:35.:06:39.

over one million young people out of work. Sadly, in Hull, the

:06:39.:06:44.

problem is possibly the worst in the hall of England. We would

:06:44.:06:47.

introduce a scheme called the future jobs fund which would give

:06:47.:06:52.

young people the chance to get back into work, to get the skills, the

:06:52.:06:56.

confidence, to earn a living, to earn a wage. Surely that is a

:06:56.:06:59.

better thing to do them having a million young people on the dole,

:06:59.:07:04.

not paying taxes, taking benefit. There has to be a more sensible way

:07:04.:07:08.

of doing it. The Government should use today as an opportunity to

:07:08.:07:12.

think again. People have all worked at Brough do not care who is in

:07:12.:07:17.

power were, as long as their jobs are safe. Could that happen?

:07:17.:07:22.

think there is a chance that many of the jobs at's could be saved.

:07:22.:07:26.

The company has to change its mind, but the Government has to come

:07:26.:07:30.

involved. It cannot just watch on the TV screens or read about it.

:07:30.:07:35.

They have to do whatever is necessary. No option should be

:07:35.:07:38.

taken off the table in terms of happened these people. That

:07:38.:07:42.

involves the Government been much more active than they are at the

:07:42.:07:46.

moment. I'm sure you have a view on this.

:07:46.:07:51.

One in ten people in this part of the world are now out of work. Are

:07:51.:07:54.

you one of them? Does that figure surprise you? We've heard what

:07:54.:07:58.

Labour thinks is the answer, what do you think needs to be done?

:07:58.:08:08.
:08:08.:08:19.

Please get in touch. The details In a moment:

:08:19.:08:21.

How Children in Need is helping disabled youngsters break into the

:08:21.:08:30.

The University of Lincoln has been fined �10,000 after admitting

:08:30.:08:33.

putting the lives of thousands of staff and students at risk of

:08:33.:08:37.

contamination from asbestos. The Health and Safety Executive has

:08:37.:08:39.

criticised the university for failing to implement adequate

:08:39.:08:44.

precautions. It's also been landed with a bill for almost �13,000 in

:08:44.:08:54.
:08:54.:08:55.

costs. While the University of Lincoln is one of the minister in

:08:55.:09:01.

the country, some of its buildings are very old and many are full of

:09:01.:09:05.

asbestos. The Health and Safety Executive were alerted by a

:09:05.:09:09.

lecturer for got locked in a room and noticed grey dust around the

:09:09.:09:14.

handle. This was in February of last year. Lincoln magistrates'

:09:14.:09:17.

court here today that the University of Lincoln had been made

:09:17.:09:22.

aware by independent asbestos assessors back in 2006 that

:09:22.:09:27.

remedial work was needed on the doors in the area. But nothing had

:09:27.:09:31.

been done. The magistrates at the University's early guilty plea was

:09:31.:09:39.

taken into account and they reduced its fine from �15,000 to �10,000.

:09:39.:09:43.

The actual offence today alleged was the failure to implement the

:09:43.:09:46.

plans that they did have in place and to have suitable arrangements

:09:46.:09:51.

to do so. Asbestos was a proper building material until it was

:09:51.:09:56.

banned in 1999. It can be found in ceiling tiles, pipe insulation and

:09:56.:10:01.

boilers. Asbestos material in good condition is safe, but can become

:10:01.:10:05.

airborne when the materials are damaged. If people breathe it in,

:10:05.:10:10.

it can cause serious diseases which are responsible for around 4,000

:10:10.:10:15.

deaths a year. It is a very good and safe material if it is in good

:10:15.:10:20.

condition, if it is sealed and sound. When you just did it, it

:10:20.:10:27.

needs removing properly, you have got to control any release and do

:10:27.:10:31.

with through certain methods. You cannot knock it down by hand. You

have got to treated with respect. He the risk increases according to

the degree of exposed here to asbestos fibres, how heavy the of

:10:44.:10:46.

exposure was a loss of the length of time. This is a particular

concern to people have had heavy from the University have resigned

:10:54.:10:58.

since the incidence and all buildings have now been made safe.

:10:58.:11:01.

And Vicky is at the Magistrates' court for us now. Vicky, what has

:11:01.:11:08.

Lincoln University had to say about this? Nobody has been made

:11:08.:11:11.

available for an interview, but they have released a statement

:11:11.:11:15.

saying that the health and safety of all of its students, staff and

:11:15.:11:19.

visitors remain of the utmost importance. They say that

:11:19.:11:24.

university officials co-ordinated fully during the Health and Safety

:11:24.:11:26.

Executive investigation and have continued to co-operate fully since

:11:26.:11:30.

then. They say that the policies and procedures have all been

:11:30.:11:36.

updated, they have been modernised and that now, all the regulations

:11:36.:11:42.

surrounding the premises are now fully compliant.

Lincoln have made a renewed appeal for help in finding his killers.

70-year-old Sonny Grey died following a violent attack at the

:11:52.:11:57.

end of last month. His family say he was a loveable rogue with a big

:11:57.:12:01.

heart and they say they want anyone with any information to speak to

:12:01.:12:03.

the police. A decision is due shortly on

:12:03.:12:06.

whether to approve plans for a 220- berth marina at Cherry Willingham

:12:06.:12:10.

near Lincoln. The development would give access to moorings from the

:12:10.:12:15.

River Witham and includes plans for a hotel and restaurant.

Tommy Patrick has big ambitions of working in theatre. And now, thanks

:12:27.:12:30.

to a charity which receives money from Children in Need, he's a step

:12:30.:12:34.

closer to that. The Shipmates drama group in Goole is specifically for

:12:34.:12:44.
:12:44.:12:49.

children with disabilities, as Tommy explains.

:12:49.:12:55.

I am 13 years old. I have Down's syndrome. I want to do acting when

:12:55.:13:05.

I grow up. We provide inclusive music, dance and drama activities

:13:05.:13:08.

for children with learning difficulties and autistic spectrum

:13:08.:13:18.
:13:18.:13:18.

conditions. It is helping me learn how to act. I really enjoy acting.

really come on leaps and bounds. Peter Pan was very fan. I was one

:13:56.:14:06.
:14:06.:14:40.

If it wasn't for this, he would probably be sat at home. I would

:14:40.:14:46.

have nothing to do without it. I love being here so much. Tommy

caught on camera from the 1,800. The crowd is on hand to support

:15:28.:15:38.
:15:38.:15:49.

Tonight's photograph is of Flamborough. Thank-you for that.

:15:49.:15:56.

Another photo tomorrow. I think you're going to point out

:15:56.:15:59.

that the forecast went rather well today!

:15:59.:16:05.

I do not think you should be gloating.

:16:05.:16:12.

I have not had one complement! Cloudy skies will clear. That is

:16:12.:16:17.

the main focus of the forecast. We will have a south-westerly breeze

:16:17.:16:22.

tomorrow, something we have not been used to for the last few weeks.

:16:22.:16:27.

It might take Lincoln all morning to brighten up. East Yorkshire

:16:27.:16:33.

might see the sunshine in the morning. By the weekend, we will be

:16:33.:16:40.

back to square one. There could be a lot of cloud from the Continent.

:16:40.:16:45.

The clouds have broken across Lincolnshire, so it is quite chilly.

:16:45.:16:49.

We have temperatures down to five degrees in Holbeach. It looks as

:16:49.:16:55.

though these breaks will be short- lived. The trend is for cloud to

:16:55.:16:58.

increase from the south-west. It could be thick enough for some

:16:58.:17:04.

patchy rain in places. I think about will be small. Quite a few

:17:04.:17:14.
:17:14.:17:16.

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

:17:16.:17:26.
:17:26.:17:29.

setting at fora 1pm. Perhaps there will be some dampness in the air.

:17:29.:17:33.

That south-westerly breeze Brighton's East Yorkshire, then

:17:33.:17:41.

Lincolnshire brightens up a early afternoon. It is a big improvement

:17:41.:17:46.

on the way. By the afternoon, most of those will be basking in the

:17:46.:17:53.

autumn sunshine. It will be mild in Hull at 12. Friday is cloudy, mild

:17:53.:18:00.

and windy. It looks as though the weekend will be mostly dry.

:18:00.:18:07.

Some viewers have found a way of getting rid of you. Look at this.

:18:07.:18:14.

It says, if I am white, it is raining -- if I am aware it, it is

:18:14.:18:19.

raining. It is very small!

:18:19.:18:24.

After days of speculation, Nick Barmby has been officially named as

:18:24.:18:30.

Hull City's new caretaker manager. The 37-year-old is taking over from

:18:30.:18:33.

Nigel Pearson, who's returned to take charge at Leicester City.

:18:33.:18:36.

Barmby's played for the Tigers for more than seven years, but he's got

:18:36.:18:40.

no experience as a manager. Sarah Corker has been to Barmby's old

:18:40.:18:48.

school in Hull to find out more. For many, it is a child dream, to

:18:48.:18:55.

manage your local football club. At Nick Barmby's old-school, we asked

:18:55.:18:59.

some aspiring managers of the future for some words of wisdom for

:18:59.:19:09.
:19:09.:19:11.

the new boss. Get good players, so we win more matches. But a good

:19:11.:19:16.

team up. Some good defence. Ask for a load of money and bring in new

:19:16.:19:23.

players. Get the fans behind us. With more than 23 caps for England,

:19:23.:19:26.

Barmby has plenty of experience on the pitch, playing for a number of

:19:26.:19:33.

top clubs, including Liverpool and Everton. After joining Hull City,

:19:33.:19:38.

helping the Tigers to promotion to the Premiership, he has become a

:19:38.:19:42.

favourite. With little managerial experience, some feel his

:19:42.:19:47.

appointment is a gamble. One person backing him for great things is his

:19:48.:19:52.

former boss. Not only has he been a fantastic servant for the club, I

:19:52.:19:57.

think the players will respond very well to him. I wish the club every

:19:57.:20:01.

success. The farmers say they are willing to give him a chance.

:20:01.:20:06.

Somebody has to start somewhere. -- the fans say they are willing to

:20:06.:20:11.

give them a chance. You learn on the job. A after a turbulent week

:20:11.:20:18.

here, what many fans now want to know is will Nick Barmby continue

:20:18.:20:22.

playing and become a player manager, what does this signal the end of

:20:22.:20:26.

his career on the pitch? His first challenge will be keeping their

:20:26.:20:31.

promotion push going away at Derby this weekend.

:20:31.:20:34.

P and O Ferries have rejected claims by a Hull MP that they could

:20:34.:20:36.

compromise safety by re-registering two Hull-based ferries in The

:20:36.:20:39.

Bahamas. The East Hull MP Karl Turner claimed on last night's

:20:39.:20:42.

programme that the move will mean the company can get round health

:20:42.:20:45.

and safety laws. P and O say this is simply wrong and they'll

:20:45.:20:54.

continue to abide by international laws on maritime safety.

:20:54.:21:04.
:21:04.:21:40.

And we've had plenty of responses It's been announced that Prince

:21:40.:21:42.

Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall will visit Lincolnshire in two

:21:42.:21:47.

weeks time. The royal couple will have a tour of Lincoln Cathedral,

:21:47.:21:50.

to see restoration work currently under way. Prince Charles will then

:21:50.:21:52.

meet young farmers at Riseholme Agricultural college, and the

:21:52.:22:01.

couple will meet up again at the Cholmeley Arms near Grantham.

:22:01.:22:06.

will be really exciting. Hopefully, a lot of people come out onto the

:22:06.:22:11.

street and welcome them into their village. You do not think of them

:22:11.:22:16.

coming to a little village pub, especially one as small as this. We

:22:16.:22:19.

are delighted. That will be a big day.

:22:19.:22:23.

The search is on tonight find the owners of these, a forgotten set of

:22:23.:22:25.

Lincolnshire photos dating back to the late 1800s. The old picture

:22:25.:22:29.

album was found at a tip in Louth, and is thought to feature a family

:22:29.:22:32.

thought to be living somewhere near Scunthorpe. As Crispin Rolfe

:22:32.:22:42.
:22:42.:22:44.

reports, the challenge now is to find their descendants. I think

:22:44.:22:47.

they are working people. You can see the back of what looks like a

:22:47.:22:50.

row of terraced houses. Where, when and most importantly

:22:50.:22:53.

who. The questions Chris Belton is asking after finding this album at

:22:53.:23:00.

a recycling centre in Louth. She's set herself the challenge of

:23:00.:23:08.

uncovering who they belong to, but so far she's not got much to go on.
