:00:06. > :00:08.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight:
:00:08. > :00:15.It's revealed a quarter of pregnant women in north-east Lincolnshire
:00:15. > :00:21.smoke as more people are urged to quit.
:00:21. > :00:24.Put your mind to it, you can do it. Help is there if you want to do it.
:00:24. > :00:33.The hospice officially opened by the Princess Royal which is still
:00:33. > :00:36.empty eight months after her visit. Join me live in Louth where Fridays
:00:36. > :00:46.are the new Thursdays. Into the wild - art moves away from
:00:46. > :00:47.
:00:47. > :00:57.the gallery to the Wolds. And a warning of ice to come in the
:00:57. > :00:58.
:00:58. > :01:02.next few hours. Your weekend There are 37,000 of them and they
:01:02. > :01:05.smoke half a million cigarettes a day. We're talking smokers and the
:01:05. > :01:09.problem is so serious in North East Lincolnshire, that the area has
:01:09. > :01:17.made it into the top ten of places in the country with high numbers of
:01:17. > :01:20.smokers. The shocking figures reveal that a quarter of pregnant
:01:20. > :01:23.women in the county carry on smoking - that's almost twice the
:01:23. > :01:28.national average. And in some areas almost every other adult is a
:01:28. > :01:33.smoker. Today health and council workers have met to look at new
:01:33. > :01:35.ideas to try and persuade people to quit. In a moment we'll be asking
:01:35. > :01:40.Geoff Barnes from north-east Lincolnshire council what those are.
:01:40. > :01:43.But first Anne Marie Tasker has this.
:01:43. > :01:48.For 25 years, Amanda Jagger was a regular smoker. But with her first
:01:48. > :01:50.baby due next month, she was determined to quit. A quarter of
:01:50. > :01:53.16-year-old girls in North East Lincolnshire smoke, so Amanda
:01:53. > :01:59.wasn't alone in starting young. But with the help of her family,
:01:59. > :02:05.friends and an NHS counsellor she's finally given up. I have done it
:02:05. > :02:10.alone before. I spent �130 on patches. I stopped for three months
:02:10. > :02:19.and then relaxed. It helps being in a group, hearing other people's
:02:19. > :02:22.stories. Overall 37,000 people here smoke in
:02:22. > :02:27.the North East Lincolnshire, getting through half a million
:02:27. > :02:30.cigarettes a day. It is hardly surprising that almost a quarter of
:02:30. > :02:36.pregnant women smoke. And that figure of 23% of pregant women
:02:36. > :02:39.smoking is way above the national average of 14 %. So today, health
:02:39. > :02:44.professionals, community groups and council workers decided it was time
:02:44. > :02:51.to act. They met in Grimsby to discuss how to cut the number of
:02:51. > :02:56.smokers. It is coming down very slowly but
:02:56. > :03:03.nothing like as fast as we want. Basically, we are about 40 % higher
:03:03. > :03:07.than the national average and death from smoking-related illness is 30-
:03:07. > :03:12.50 % higher than ash -- national average.
:03:12. > :03:18.Stopping smoking alone cannot deliver the drop that is required.
:03:18. > :03:22.There is also medium to long-term plans to prevent people from taking
:03:22. > :03:24.up to smoking. Smoking in pregnancy can cause low
:03:24. > :03:27.birth weight and developmental problems. But with North East
:03:27. > :03:37.Lincolnshire having the tenth highest percentage of smokers in
:03:37. > :03:39.
:03:39. > :03:43.the country - it may be some time before the area sees a change.
:03:43. > :03:50.Certainly some startling figures there. I enjoyed by the director
:03:50. > :03:52.for public health for Lincolnshire Council. Why does north-east
:03:52. > :03:55.Lincolnshire have one of the highest smoking rates in the
:03:55. > :04:01.country? There are many historical factors
:04:01. > :04:06.behind it. Just a generation ago, as much as three in four men and
:04:06. > :04:11.one in two women in areas such as this were smokers. That has come
:04:11. > :04:16.down to one in four. Progress has been made. There'll still areas
:04:16. > :04:18.like north-east but Lincolnshire up with poverty highly associated with
:04:18. > :04:22.smoking. The number of pregnant women who
:04:22. > :04:26.smoke is high compared to the rest of the country. You don't seem to
:04:26. > :04:33.be able to get the figure down. Why is it so persistent?
:04:33. > :04:36.There is progress being made. It is way too high. We only have to go
:04:36. > :04:42.back a couple of years and we were talking about one in three pregnant
:04:42. > :04:47.women spreading. Now we are talking about 23 %. We have put in a lot of
:04:47. > :04:53.measures around insuring midwives promote the issue and ensuring that
:04:53. > :04:57.pregnant women who are smokers have a service available.
:04:57. > :05:02.75 % started in school. Are you doing something to combat that?
:05:02. > :05:07.That is a very big priority. If you can stop somebody smoking before
:05:07. > :05:12.the age of 19, they are highly unlikely to ever stop smoking. We
:05:12. > :05:16.have got people in schools. It is not just about health messages and
:05:17. > :05:20.making sure children here about changing attitudes to smoking,
:05:20. > :05:24.convincing them about how much money it will cost them and it is
:05:24. > :05:28.not going to get helpful to get girlfriends and boyfriends and that
:05:28. > :05:32.is key to address teenagers. After all of the adverts, every
:05:32. > :05:37.woman must know it is bad for her and her baby, so they obviously
:05:37. > :05:45.aren't bothered and just want to do I think they are bothered. Pregnant
:05:45. > :05:49.women do want to do the best for their baby. Ferrari lot of myths
:05:49. > :05:53.around being a pregnant smoker and we have to challenge those damaging
:05:53. > :05:57.myths. We are working to convince Britain and within that the best
:05:57. > :05:59.thing they can do for their baby if they smoke is too small -- to stop
:05:59. > :06:04.smoking. What would you say to the woman
:06:04. > :06:08.watching tonight, and there will be plenty, who is pregnant and smoking.
:06:08. > :06:12.I would say, I know you want to do the best for your baby and the best
:06:12. > :06:18.thing you can do now is to do everything you possibly can to stop
:06:18. > :06:23.smoking. Thank you. We would like to throw
:06:23. > :06:27.this one open. What is the answer? How do you help stop people stop
:06:27. > :06:32.smoking or prevent them from starting in the first place?
:06:32. > :06:40.Interesting to hear what you did. It as a smoker, they beat you still
:06:40. > :06:50.that the finger is constantly East pointed at you at the moment? The
:06:50. > :06:55.
:06:55. > :06:58.We will have some before we finish at 7pm. In a moment:
:06:58. > :07:06.Open for Christmas - the seasonal pub serving non-alcoholic drinks to
:07:06. > :07:12.A hospice in Lincolnshire which was officially opened by the Princess
:07:12. > :07:15.Royal is still empty six months after her visit. Supporters took 11
:07:15. > :07:21.years to raise money to help pay the �1.5 million needed to build
:07:21. > :07:30.The Butterfly Hospice in Boston. But its seven beds remain unused
:07:30. > :07:38.despite growing need for them. It opened in a blaze of publiity by
:07:38. > :07:41.royalty. To see what you have managed to
:07:41. > :07:45.achieve will spur you on. But eight months on, Boston's
:07:45. > :07:48.Butterfly Hospice stands empty, yet to help one terminally ill patient.
:07:48. > :07:55.A tragedy, according to fundraiser Christine Roberts. She's in
:07:55. > :07:59.remission from ovarian cancer and knows how much it's needed.
:07:59. > :08:03.We have spent 10 years as a community building this hospice and
:08:04. > :08:07.now it is open, we are ready for the support and do to start in the
:08:07. > :08:10.new year but we still do not have the funding for long stern -- long-
:08:10. > :08:13.term nursing or beds. Dr Peter Holmes is the man who
:08:13. > :08:18.would commission the hospice to care for NHS patients. He's refused
:08:18. > :08:23.to give them funding. I would love to be able to send my
:08:23. > :08:27.patients that. It is something I would love to use. The environment
:08:27. > :08:33.is very good indeed but we are not convinced they can provide clinical
:08:33. > :08:40.care that is safe and we want to allow patients to experience care
:08:40. > :08:43.that is safe and effective. It all hinges on the fact the
:08:43. > :08:48.Ospreys managers have not registered on the care Quality
:08:48. > :08:53.Commission, an organisation that regulates healthcare providers. It
:08:53. > :08:57.is illegal to operate as a hospice without reaching the Care Quality
:08:57. > :09:00.Commission's standards. If this is just a case of
:09:00. > :09:05.registering, why don't you just do that?
:09:05. > :09:09.I wish it was. It costs money to register with the care quality
:09:09. > :09:14.commission. Until we have the right staff in place and we know that we
:09:14. > :09:17.are going to get long-term or sustainable funding, it is a
:09:17. > :09:22.pointless exercise trying to register with them.
:09:23. > :09:28.It is a frustrating situation. A modern, equipped hospice where
:09:28. > :09:35.patients would be a comfortable. Because nobody can guarantee their
:09:35. > :09:41.care, these gates will remain locked.
:09:41. > :09:44.That might be another report you would like to contact us about.
:09:44. > :09:47.P&O Ferry crossings into and out of Hull have returned to normal today
:09:47. > :09:50.after gales left passengers stranded for nine hours off the
:09:50. > :09:55.east coast last night. The Pride of York arrived just two hours late
:09:55. > :09:58.this morning as the high winds eased. The Pride of Hull didn't
:09:58. > :10:01.leave for the continent until 5:00am this morning because of the
:10:01. > :10:04.extreme weather conditions. The Red Arrows have resumed
:10:04. > :10:08.training for the first time since the death of Flight Lieutenant Sean
:10:08. > :10:12.Cunningham. The team was cleared to fly yesterday following the fatal
:10:12. > :10:16.accident last month. But the RAF insists it's now satisfied with the
:10:16. > :10:20.safety of its Hawk jets following a series of checks.
:10:20. > :10:25.Hull's main bus and train station was forced to close for a second
:10:25. > :10:30.time this week after reports of a gas leak. The Interchange re-opened
:10:30. > :10:38.this afternoon. But it comes after the building was evacuated for an
:10:38. > :10:43.hour on Wednesday after a smell of gas on its rail platforms. An
:10:43. > :10:46.internet company has been given permission to run the fibre optic
:10:47. > :10:52.cables to the Humber Bridge. They say they will be able to provide
:10:52. > :10:54.high-speed internet to businesses in Hull early next year. It will
:10:54. > :10:57.cost �5 million to set up. Lincoln's Christmas Market
:10:57. > :11:01.attracted a record breaking 335,000 people last week. The organisers
:11:01. > :11:06.say it's the biggest turnout in the market's history and is an increase
:11:06. > :11:14.of 30,000 visitors compared to 2009 when it was last held. They've also
:11:14. > :11:17.promised to address concerns about overcrowding in the city centre.
:11:17. > :11:26.Metal thieves risk life and limb stealing rail and electricity
:11:26. > :11:31.cables as well as church roofs and pipes from houses. We have talked
:11:31. > :11:34.about it many times on the programme. Their latest target is a
:11:34. > :11:38.seven foot tall restored engine, complete with its trailer. The 1923
:11:38. > :11:41.Hornsby Oil Engine which is part of the display at the Sibsey Windmill,
:11:41. > :11:46.was being resored as part of a five year project when it was stolen.
:11:46. > :11:52.Jake Zuckerman reports. Built in 1877, Sibsey Trader
:11:52. > :11:55.Windmill, near Boston is still making flour the traditional way.
:11:55. > :12:02.Although it's in full working order, volunteers here had been hoping to
:12:02. > :12:06.replace one missing element. A three and a half ton vintage oil-
:12:06. > :12:10.powered engine, like this one. In the 1920s it was installed at the
:12:10. > :12:19.mill to grind corn when there was no wind. But it had been removed
:12:19. > :12:24.more than 50 years ago. This is the old footing to the engine shed.
:12:24. > :12:28.There was a plinth for it to stand on in concrete. It drove by belt
:12:29. > :12:31.and poorly to a bearing that was connected up to drive the
:12:31. > :12:34.millstones. After a long search, volunteers had
:12:34. > :12:39.managed to find this rare 1923 engine, built by Hornsby in Lincoln,
:12:39. > :12:48.and were restoring it. But last week it was stolen, and it's feared
:12:48. > :12:52.thieves plan to sell this unique piece of local heritage for scrap.
:12:52. > :12:55.The engine was sure it -- was stolen by the shed where it was
:12:55. > :12:59.Beale stored on Tuesday evening. It is believed the thieved must have
:12:59. > :13:03.known what they were looking for because of the manpower needed to
:13:03. > :13:06.move such a large item. The team that keep the mill running say
:13:06. > :13:12.they're devastated by the theft. The oil engine is so rare it may be
:13:12. > :13:19.impossible to replace. It is a piece of our heritage. It
:13:19. > :13:25.was made in Lincoln at the Hornsby works. It was in original condition.
:13:25. > :13:29.To think of it possibly just ending up as scrap is devastating. Once
:13:29. > :13:34.they are lost, they are lost. This piece of machinery would be
:13:34. > :13:38.broken up for scrap value. Inquiries are being undertaken with
:13:38. > :13:42.local scrap-metal dealers to see if we have had anything similar or
:13:42. > :13:44.pieces of this machine weighed in. While the sails here at Sibsey
:13:44. > :13:47.Trader Windmill keep turning, the volunteers hope that someone comes
:13:47. > :13:57.forward with the information that will help them recover the stolen
:13:57. > :14:02.
:14:03. > :14:12.Let us hope they do. We were talking about that earlier today.
:14:12. > :14:18.Still ahead - forget those days, Louth decides that Friday is the
:14:18. > :14:28.late night shopping date of choice for its residents.
:14:28. > :14:32.And not the usual gallery - Yorkshire art moves into the Wolds.
:14:32. > :14:42.Thank you for the photographs this week. This was our winner, even

:15:14. > :15:22.day forecast and only she was four days? Well, today is the first day
:15:22. > :15:32.and the rest of the four makes five. He says, when they get one day like

:15:40. > :15:45.It looks as if it is going to be tricky on the roads in Norfolk and
:15:45. > :15:50.Lincolnshire. Tomorrow should be a nice day for getting out and about.
:15:50. > :15:59.A little bit of a gap with the weather systems. A little ridge of
:15:59. > :16:08.high pressure means not too bad a day. It remains very unsettled to
:16:08. > :16:15.read -- indeed. With surfaces pretty wet, we are going to see a
:16:15. > :16:23.lot of ice. Temperatures are very close to freezing. Take care on the
:16:23. > :16:33.roads. Temperatures - probably the coldest night of winter so far. The

:17:03. > :17:08.Temperatures below average. That all-important five-day forecast,

:17:18. > :17:19.
:17:19. > :17:22.Sunday. Day 5 - that is Tuesday! - is looking unsettled! Several
:17:22. > :17:27.people have written of the last hour to say that there is a
:17:27. > :17:32.stunning full moon tonight. We have a camera on the river.
:17:32. > :17:37.There is a live picture of the moon. That is taken from the riff. That
:17:37. > :17:47.is another excuse for you to get you telling -- telescope out, isn't

:18:59. > :19:03.capital of the country, with more shoppers than ever using the
:19:03. > :19:08.internet to buy their gift. A new study has found that more
:19:08. > :19:14.people in Hull visit retail website per head of the population than any
:19:14. > :19:24.other city in the country. That is an interesting story. But in life,
:19:24. > :19:29.they like to do things a little bit differently. -- in Louth. Late
:19:29. > :19:35.night shopping in Louth is on Fridays. Is this the challenge from
:19:35. > :19:40.Louth to those who prefer to go online? We are expecting people
:19:40. > :19:45.from a cross the county into the town tonight. Shops here are open
:19:45. > :19:48.till 8pm tonight. If you take a look over here, there is a short
:19:48. > :19:54.that is pulling in the crowds, as well as an open-air market for all
:19:54. > :19:58.your festive gift. With more people shopping online, traders are hoping
:19:58. > :20:04.this can attract more people back into the town. We asked shoppers
:20:04. > :20:09.whether they prefer the High Street are the Internet. I like the High
:20:09. > :20:16.Street, if the parking is good. If I cannot park, I prefer to go
:20:16. > :20:23.online. He can pick what you want, you can
:20:23. > :20:27.look at what you want. It is better than online. You can pick them up
:20:27. > :20:32.and check and have a look at it. Online, you do not know what it is
:20:32. > :20:37.like until you have it. I like the High Street, because you can see
:20:37. > :20:42.what you are buying and the faults in the clothing.
:20:42. > :20:45.A recent survey showed that, in Hull, more people are shopping
:20:45. > :20:52.online this Christmas than anywhere else in the country.
:20:52. > :20:56.Here in Louth, the shops are open late and there is a whole host of
:20:56. > :21:02.entertainment, from Santa's grotto to live music around the town.
:21:02. > :21:05.Don't worry if you missed it, it is all happening again next week.

:22:57. > :23:02.This pop up pub in Hull's city centre is sure to pool the punters

:23:05. > :23:12.it feels like I have a beer in my hand.
:23:12. > :23:16.It is good for a man, nobody would know the different for -- the
:23:16. > :23:21.difference. It could convert me. I have never tried non-alcoholic beer
:23:21. > :23:25.before but it is very nice. It may have all the features of a British
:23:25. > :23:30.pub, but there is a senior message here.
