:00:07. > :00:09.Good Evening. The head of the UK Anti-Doping
:00:09. > :00:13.Organisation has told BBC Look North he's "disappointed" with the
:00:13. > :00:15.lack of integrity of former staff at Hull FC. It comes after three
:00:15. > :00:18.previous employees, including a player, were found guilty of anti-
:00:18. > :00:20.drugs violations. This afternoon the club said that another player,
:00:20. > :00:30.Martin Aspinwall, won't be sacked despite appearing in court today
:00:30. > :00:36.
:00:36. > :00:39.for a separate incident. Former Hull FC centre Martin
:00:39. > :00:42.Gleeson's three year ban for drug taking cast a shadow over Hull FC.
:00:42. > :00:45.And now UK Anti-Doping has banned former Chief Executive James Rule
:00:45. > :00:49.for two years for covering up the positive drugs test along with ex-
:00:49. > :00:59.conditioning coach Ben Cooper. It's the first time a non-athlete has
:00:59. > :01:00.
:01:00. > :01:03.been successfully prosecuted. We were disappointed when we got
:01:03. > :01:07.the first hearing and we found out that there were inconsistent
:01:07. > :01:12.messages in the story from both sides. We need to make sure that
:01:12. > :01:16.people around the athletes are operating with integrity and that
:01:16. > :01:18.led us to investigate the case further.
:01:18. > :01:24.Hull FC says it was "extremely disappointed" at how former staff
:01:24. > :01:27.had handled the incident. In a statement it said, "The new
:01:27. > :01:33.structure at the club will strive to ensure the good name of Hull FC
:01:33. > :01:43.is not tarnished again." But today another Hull FC player did just
:01:43. > :01:44.
:01:45. > :01:51.that, appearing at Hull Magistrates Court. He has to pay �3,000 in
:01:51. > :01:55.fines and costs because of his drunken behaviour. He was suspended
:01:56. > :01:59.from Hull FC and today magistrate told him that fans do not want to
:01:59. > :02:03.hear this kind of thing about a sporting hero.
:02:03. > :02:06.And neither will his club. Hull FC will be hoping these stories are
:02:06. > :02:12.the last time the Black and Whites hit the headlines for all the wrong
:02:12. > :02:14.reasons. A man has died after a collision in
:02:14. > :02:17.Lincolnshire near Wragby. The accident happened just before six
:02:17. > :02:20.this morning in South Willingham after a silver Citroen left the
:02:20. > :02:25.road. Paramedics were called out but the driver was pronounced dead
:02:25. > :02:29.at the scene. Humberside Police have called in
:02:29. > :02:34.extra help in their search for a missing woman from Hull. 47-year-
:02:34. > :02:36.old Diann Conboy was reported missing nine days ago. The
:02:36. > :02:39.Association of Lowland Search and Rescue have been examining the site
:02:39. > :02:42.of Sir Henry Cooper School alongside police officers.
:02:42. > :02:46.An increasing number of expectant mums in Hull are opting to give
:02:46. > :02:49.birth at home. Midwives say there could be a 15 % rise in home births
:02:49. > :02:51.by the end of the financial year. It comes after the area's Jubilee
:02:52. > :03:01.Birth Centre, which offered a natural approach to childbirth,
:03:01. > :03:07.closed due to staffing issues. Nine-month-old Teja is very
:03:07. > :03:17.comfortable at home. She was born in a hired birthing pool in her
:03:17. > :03:17.
:03:17. > :03:25.parents' dining room. Unusual, as she is mum Cat's first child.
:03:25. > :03:31.at home is the most relaxing -- relaxing environment you can be end.
:03:31. > :03:35.60 years ago, Cat's story would have been the norm. In the 1960s,
:03:35. > :03:39.nationally, around 30 % of all babies were born at home. As the
:03:39. > :03:42.NHS developed, this has gradually fallen. Last year it fell to 2.5 %.
:03:42. > :03:52.But officials in Hull say there could be a 15 % increase on last
:03:52. > :04:01.
:04:01. > :04:05.years home births. We would really love to see more berths at home.
:04:05. > :04:09.There will be much less intervention.
:04:09. > :04:12.The fact that Hull is bucking the national trend was the talk of this
:04:12. > :04:17.breastfeeding support session. think it is because there is not a
:04:17. > :04:22.lot of choice in Hull at the moment. I was originally booked into the
:04:22. > :04:24.centre and I found out it was closing which was a bit of a shock.
:04:24. > :04:27.The Jubilee Birth Centre, East Yorkshire's only natural birthing
:04:27. > :04:31.unit, closed in July due to staff shortages. Although pleased about
:04:31. > :04:38.the rise in home births, The Royal College of Midwives warn it is not
:04:38. > :04:43.for every woman. This is an option for women with an uncomplicated
:04:43. > :04:46.pregnancy and who are at low risk. That is where the choice ends.
:04:46. > :04:51.The Future of the Jubilee Centre will be announced in Janaury. Until
:04:51. > :04:54.then, more babies could be welcomed into the world in their own home.
:04:54. > :04:56.Victims of flooding in Hull are worried their insurance could rise
:04:56. > :04:59.next year after a deal between the government and the insurance
:04:59. > :05:02.industry comes to an end. After the floods in 2007, insurance
:05:02. > :05:10.companies agreed to keep premiums down if the government helped
:05:10. > :05:13.minimise the risk of flooding. But that deal will end in 2012.
:05:13. > :05:17.The National Farmers Union says their members' incomes are on the
:05:17. > :05:19.up in our area despite the difficult economic conditions. The
:05:19. > :05:24.union says supermarket dominance means vegetable growers' margins
:05:24. > :05:26.are still tight, but cereal farmers are faring better. Among the worst
:05:26. > :05:30.hit are organic farmers, as shoppers move away from premium
:05:30. > :05:33.produce. Football now, and both league clubs
:05:33. > :05:35.are in action tomorrow with the pressure on Scunthorpe United to
:05:35. > :05:40.beat Chesterfield at the bottom of League One. In the Championship,
:05:40. > :05:44.Hull City are away to Burnley. Two teams bidding to get back in
:05:44. > :05:48.the Premier League. Hull City want their name back up there, despite
:05:48. > :05:53.losing at Middlesborough on Boxing Day. The Tigers are away to Burnley
:05:53. > :05:57.tomorrow to consolidate their play off place status. And they'll hope
:05:57. > :06:06.this time their game plan won't be ruined by a late strike from
:06:06. > :06:12.distance. Sometimes you get games like that but in the second half of
:06:12. > :06:18.the season you were in with a shout and you need to start playing the
:06:18. > :06:21.football we know we can play. Beaten 3-1 by Bury in their last
:06:21. > :06:24.game, Scunthorpe United host bottom of League One side Chesterfield.
:06:24. > :06:31.The Iron will hope to improve defensively, and ease their way to
:06:31. > :06:38.safety in a genuine six pointer for the two teams. Both teams are
:06:38. > :06:42.saying we should be higher up in the league. Unfortunately we are
:06:42. > :06:46.where we are and we certainly have to do more to get up the league and
:06:46. > :06:49.we will be looking forward to doing that on Saturday. But the biggest
:06:49. > :06:52.game of the weekend is arguably on Sunday in the Conference. Two
:06:52. > :06:55.Grimsby goals put Lincoln in their place on Boxing Day. But the return
:06:55. > :07:00.derby fixture gives the Imps an immediate chance of revenge. This
:07:00. > :07:04.time though Grimsby also have home time though Grimsby also have home
:07:04. > :07:11.advantage. Let's take a look at the weekend weather. What a miserable
:07:11. > :07:16.and to the working week. It looks like New year's Eve will be very
:07:16. > :07:22.mild. It is wet right now. The outbreaks of rain and drizzle will
:07:22. > :07:31.move out to the North Sea. Temperatures will stay around what
:07:31. > :07:35.they are now, for her or five Celsius. -- four or five Celsius.
:07:35. > :07:41.Tomorrow afternoon it should become dry and a little bit more bright.
:07:41. > :07:50.Look at these temperatures. You will get double figures wherever
