:00:00. > :00:11.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight:
:00:11. > :00:18.Growing demand but are some people using foodbanks because they can't
:00:18. > :00:24.manage their money? There are people that come to be
:00:24. > :00:28.foodbank that generally can help their situation and they are just
:00:28. > :00:31.choosing not to. I'm at Lincoln Crown Court where a
:00:31. > :00:35.teenage girl has been charged with the murder of her newborn baby.
:00:36. > :00:44.The MA student banned from the army because of his tattoos. I thought
:00:44. > :00:48.perhaps logic would come into play, I am not a 16—year—old and has
:00:48. > :00:54.applied on a whim. Bringing the Ashes home to inspire
:00:54. > :00:57.the next generation of cricketers. If we keep having successful
:00:57. > :01:05.national teams, the men all the women, that will push the amount of
:01:05. > :01:12.people buying push it —— cricket. And the weather forecast late.
:01:12. > :01:17.To some they are seen as an essential lifeline but there are
:01:17. > :01:23.claims tonight that foodbanks are actually just propping up families
:01:23. > :01:26.who can't budget properly. The comments come from the Education
:01:26. > :01:29.Secretary Michael Gove and have prompted an angry response from the
:01:29. > :01:36.Bishop of Hull, a city where more than 100 charities are involved in
:01:36. > :01:39.handing out food. However, there has been some unlikely support for Mr
:01:39. > :01:44.Gove from people working at foodbanks. In a moment we'll be
:01:44. > :01:52.hearing from the Bishop, but first, Phil Connell has this report.
:01:52. > :01:56.The free food hand—outs very here everyday, one thing that is certain
:01:56. > :02:01.is that by the end of the week, most of it will have gone. The whole
:02:01. > :02:11.foodbank —— the whole foodbank has said it has never been so busy. When
:02:11. > :02:14.they come to our door there is a lot of pride and embarrassment and they
:02:14. > :02:20.feel quite scared and it is a deer in the headlights look because they
:02:20. > :02:24.don't know what will happen. In the Commons, the free food parcels have
:02:24. > :02:28.caused a political storm. With the education secretary stating that
:02:28. > :02:35.owns —— those that are receiving them are only themselves to blame.
:02:35. > :02:38.It is a result of decisions made by families that mean they are not able
:02:38. > :02:42.to manage their finances. When need to do —— what we need to do is to
:02:42. > :02:46.make sure the supporters and their not just financially but that the
:02:46. > :02:52.right decisions are made. Here, where 100 charities supplying food
:02:52. > :02:58.his comments are being condemned. In the two years it has been open the
:02:58. > :03:04.hull foodbank has donated 30 tonnes of food. It has fed 2000 hundred 49
:03:04. > :03:08.people last year. Since April last year, the figure has already ——
:03:08. > :03:13.since April this year, 2000 people have already come. Kimberly is now a
:03:14. > :03:18.volunteer at the foodbank but this time last year she was living in a
:03:18. > :03:23.tent and receiving food parcels. She thinks that Michael Gove may have a
:03:23. > :03:27.valid point but says he could have expressed better. With him saying
:03:27. > :03:32.what he is saying it could stop people coming because it could make
:03:32. > :03:36.those people feel as though it is their fault where in some cases it
:03:36. > :03:45.is not. There are people that come to be foodbank that generally can
:03:45. > :03:48.help their situation and they just don't, they choose not to. This
:03:48. > :03:53.foodbank helps around 100 people per week in the city. A debate now
:03:53. > :03:57.ignited over their genuine need or whether their own bad decisions have
:03:57. > :04:01.been to blame. Earlier I spoke to the Bishop of
:04:01. > :04:09.Hull and asked him if people who use food banks are responsible for their
:04:09. > :04:13.own situation. No, not really, I think there is a real danger of
:04:13. > :04:17.getting into a situation where poor people are being blamed for their
:04:17. > :04:22.own poverty, that is simply not fair. What you make of Michael
:04:22. > :04:29.Gove's comments? Issey out of touch? Yes. Poor people are being blamed
:04:29. > :04:33.when there are other factors. He is making the point that people are
:04:33. > :04:36.needing to work within their means and not rely on hand—outs, is
:04:36. > :04:42.because people have heard about them and media. When people have no
:04:42. > :04:46.margin of error at all, inevitably when things go wrong in whatever
:04:46. > :04:51.way, they are bound to be up against it and very quickly get into debt
:04:51. > :04:56.and get into really serious need and it is often a foodbank that can tide
:04:56. > :04:59.them over. You have seen the number of people using foodbanks increase,
:04:59. > :05:07.while you think that it is? Because there is an increasing need and I
:05:07. > :05:08.think that with the welfare pawns, the —— welfare reforms, the need
:05:08. > :05:17.will increase. People would still be surprised that a bishop is speaking
:05:17. > :05:19.up politically. Does not up politically. Does not party
:05:19. > :05:25.political, it is part of our care for our neighbour. When we see our
:05:25. > :05:31.neighbour in real need it is very important that we do what we can. A
:05:31. > :05:34.text that I had during the week, I wonder how many people we see at the
:05:34. > :05:43.foodbanks with a giant plasma TV, harsh! That is a perception. I heard
:05:43. > :05:48.the chief executive of the Joseph Rowntree foundation speaking this
:05:48. > :05:51.week saying they have done extensive research and almost all the people
:05:51. > :05:56.using foodbanks at doing so because of crisis, real need, because they
:05:56. > :06:00.have hit on hard time. Nothing to do with luxuries at all. If that is the
:06:00. > :06:07.case, then depressing? Very depressing indeed. Let us know what
:06:07. > :06:10.you think about this story. Should people on low incomes have more
:06:10. > :06:24.discipline when it comes to their budget? Is Michael Gove right? May
:06:24. > :06:25.be a user foodbank or maybe you are offended by the comments you have
:06:25. > :06:48.heard. Please contact us. In a moment, how a harsh winter
:06:48. > :06:57.could threaten the supply of sloe gin this Christmas.
:06:57. > :07:02.A 16—year—old girl has appeared in court charged with the murder of her
:07:02. > :07:07.newborn baby. The girl, who can't be named for legal reasons, is from the
:07:07. > :07:11.village of Baston in Lincolnshire. Our reporter Leanne Brown is outside
:07:11. > :07:17.the court for us tonight, what more can you tell us about this case?
:07:18. > :07:21.The body of a newborn baby was found by the emergency services last week
:07:21. > :07:30.at a property in the village of Baston, near Bourne. The baby's
:07:30. > :07:37.16—year—old mother, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was
:07:37. > :07:40.charged last night with his murder. She appeared before magistrates in
:07:40. > :07:47.Grantham this morning where she was accused of the murder between the
:07:47. > :07:50.second and 6th of September. Too serious to be dealt with by a
:07:50. > :07:53.magistrate, the case was automatically sent here to the Crown
:07:53. > :07:56.Court in Lincoln where this afternoon she appeared, dressed in
:07:56. > :08:13.black and accompanied by a family member. The judge remanded the
:08:13. > :08:21.teenager into the care of the local authority with conditions including
:08:21. > :08:36.health investigators are court appearance set for
:08:36. > :08:40.health investigators are investigating infection from a
:08:40. > :08:45.children's play park, a water park. The park was closed after 18 people
:08:45. > :08:53.fell ill with cryptosporidium infection. People that went to the
:08:53. > :09:01.park in July need to complete an online questionnaire even if they
:09:01. > :09:04.were not ill. They're seen as a way of expressing yourself but these
:09:04. > :09:08.tattoos are stopping one man from Hull from getting a job. James
:09:08. > :09:11.Hastie has a degree and wants to join the Army but he's been told his
:09:11. > :09:14.tattoos are inappropriate. Caroline Bilton reports.
:09:14. > :09:17.James Hastie wants to join the Army — he's spent the past few months
:09:17. > :09:24.going through the application process but he's been told he won't
:09:24. > :09:28.be accepted because of his tattoos. I thought that perhaps logic would
:09:28. > :09:32.come into play, I am not a 16—year—old that has decided on a
:09:32. > :09:36.whim to join the Army. I have done a lot of things and I thought that
:09:36. > :09:40.would get taken into account, the fact that I have got an education
:09:40. > :09:43.behind me would be a benefit. The MOD sent him an email explaining why
:09:43. > :09:47.he wasn't eligible. It said it's because of army policy about tattoos
:09:47. > :09:50.which "would be detrimental to the service." It refers to any tattoos,
:09:50. > :09:51.excessive in size or number, offensive or obscene, which are
:09:51. > :11:02.visible when wearing parade uniform. is is about if those tattoos are
:11:02. > :11:09.visible and in a park and inappropriate. Tonight the Ministry
:11:09. > :11:13.of Defence said that James should visit his army careers office again
:11:13. > :11:18.to discuss the decision. This is another story we'd like your
:11:18. > :11:22.views on. Is it right that someone should be barred from a job with the
:11:22. > :11:38.army, or any job, if they have visible tattoos? Start the text with
:11:38. > :11:40.Look North. Thank you for watching tonight. Still ahead tonight:
:11:41. > :11:52.England's Arran Brindle bring the Ashes back to Louth. It is quite
:11:52. > :12:04.amazing, to see the Ashes brought to us. Is really good they have won it.
:12:04. > :12:19.Banks of Humber taken from Barton by Jonathan Boddy.
:12:19. > :12:26.I know what you have done there! And he was going to slip in a Humber
:12:26. > :12:34.Bridge picture. You have been caught red—handed. Now the weather
:12:34. > :12:41.forecast. We would just have the forecast! Let's look at the headline
:12:42. > :12:45.for the next 24 hours, it is important that you take note of this
:12:45. > :12:52.because Saturday will be far better than Sunday a gap stars but Saturday
:12:52. > :12:58.will brighten up —— a gap start. Sunday, it is wet and windy, a poor
:12:58. > :13:02.day to come on Sunday. A real test of autumn temperatures in the mid
:13:02. > :13:07.teens. For those meteorological minded people like myself, it is a
:13:07. > :13:10.synoptic chart on a ridge of high pressure, look at this on Sunday,
:13:10. > :13:19.and whether Brian —— a weather front with tightly packed isobars which
:13:19. > :13:23.means strong winds. A gap and dreary evening, a lot of surface spray on
:13:23. > :13:28.the roads. The rain will continue overnight, on and off. Showing signs
:13:28. > :13:33.of easing from the North later but it is a miserable September night,
:13:33. > :13:38.with the dim —— with temperatures up to ten or 11 Celsius. 50 Fahrenheit.
:13:38. > :13:44.The sun will rise in the morning at 6:32am. Your next high will be just
:13:44. > :13:51.after midnight tonight at Cleethorpes. Many of us are off to a
:13:51. > :13:59.grey start. Patches of rain slipping away southwards. Bright in
:13:59. > :14:03.north—east Yorkshire. A nice afternoon on Saturday, sunny spells
:14:03. > :14:12.and the small chance of catching a light shower. After the jury start,
:14:12. > :14:20.but in the afternoon. 15 Celsius is 59 Fahrenheit. Next week looks cool,
:14:20. > :14:28.showery, unsettled. That is the forecast!
:14:28. > :14:32.Is so easy with the other one. I try not to dumb down the audience. It is
:14:32. > :14:41.a bit late for that. A senior Conservative in
:14:41. > :14:44.Lincolnshire, who's suffering from terminal cancer, has attacked the
:14:44. > :14:47.government's decision to spend £11 billion this year on foreign aid.
:14:47. > :14:51.Chris Underwood—Frost who serves on the County Council, says the money
:14:51. > :14:56.should instead be spent on treating Cancer. But the Deputy Prime
:14:56. > :14:59.Minister Nick Clegg has told Look North that the foreign aid budget is
:14:59. > :15:05.right. Here's our Political Editor, Tim Iredale.
:15:05. > :15:10.Conservative councillor Chris Underwood frost has been fighting a
:15:10. > :15:14.15 year battle with cancer. Which started on his skin ended as now
:15:14. > :15:19.spread to his brain. He has nothing but praise for the medical staff who
:15:19. > :15:23.have treated him. He says he is angry that billions of pounds worth
:15:23. > :15:30.of tax payers money is being spent on overseas aid. Is far better that
:15:30. > :15:35.we spend any money in this country to prop up the NHS, to keep people
:15:35. > :15:42.alive and doing it. Unfortunately, I am now terminal, therefore I think
:15:42. > :15:49.that some of this overseas money should be spent here for people,
:15:49. > :15:56.especially to make sure people can be treated locally. The government
:15:56. > :16:02.is committed to spending 0.7% of our national income on overseas aid.
:16:02. > :16:04.That adds up to around about £11 billion this year. A controversial
:16:04. > :16:13.figure that has attracted controversy will criticism.
:16:13. > :16:21.can possibly give £1 billion per month when we are in debt to undergo
:16:21. > :16:28.bongo land. UKIP MP Godfrey Bloom had to defend his comments. The row
:16:28. > :16:33.reopened the debate about the government's moral duty to spend
:16:33. > :16:38.money on less fortunate parts of the world. I put the paint made by Chris
:16:38. > :16:43.Underwood frost to the Deputy Prime Minister. Can you understand why
:16:43. > :16:47.people believe the money should be spent at home when they have
:16:47. > :16:52.problems a? Of course I understand. It means that we try to help other
:16:52. > :16:56.countries dealing with grinding poverty, violence, extremism and
:16:56. > :17:00.conflict it also means that people are encouraged to stay at home
:17:00. > :17:04.rather than move across continents and borders. Is a subject that
:17:04. > :17:10.polarises opinion but despite the government's arguments, there will
:17:10. > :17:18.be many that insist that charity should begin at home.
:17:18. > :17:25.The subject of foreign aid will be one of the discussion points on this
:17:25. > :17:29.weekend's Sunday politics. We've had a big response on our story about
:17:29. > :17:32.how much money some football fans were paying to watch their teams
:17:32. > :17:36.play. A BBC report has found that the general cost of football had
:17:36. > :17:44.gone down slightly and that Hull City was one of the cheapest clubs
:17:44. > :17:53.in the Premier League to watch. Just a
:17:53. > :17:58.Maly says "I've purchased four tickets for the Hull vs West Ham
:17:58. > :18:01.match. The annoying point is I was charged a £2.50 booking fee for each
:18:01. > :18:05.ticket — rip—off Britain." Chris from Hornsea also texted in to say
:18:05. > :18:08.the cost of watching Premier League football could be reduced if clubs
:18:08. > :18:13.were allowed to introduce safe standing. And this tweet from Jodie
:18:13. > :18:17.Sippel believes it's just the latest thing people want to complain about.
:18:17. > :18:22.If it was that expensive they wouldn't pay it in the first place.
:18:22. > :18:26.Two new pilots will join the Red Arrows in 2014 — the team's 50th
:18:26. > :18:34.display season. Flight Lieutenant Stewart Campbell
:18:34. > :18:38.and Flight Lieutenant Joe Hourston have been announced as the newest
:18:38. > :18:41.members of the aerobatics team. The two pilots have both flown
:18:41. > :18:50.operations over Afghanistan and will stay with the Red Arrows for three
:18:50. > :18:54.years. It is now feeling real now being in Jersey and being in the
:18:54. > :18:58.back of a real show with crowds. Obviously getting a number last
:18:58. > :19:03.night made it feel like being a part of the team now. Exciting. We're
:19:03. > :19:08.looking forward to the challenge of the next few years. It is going to
:19:08. > :19:11.be life changing experiences, we get to visit places and meet people that
:19:11. > :19:22.we would never have the opportunity to make. Congratulations to them in
:19:22. > :19:25.the talent islands —— challenge violent —— Channel Islands.
:19:25. > :19:28.It's a symbol of cricketing excellence and today school children
:19:28. > :19:32.in Louth saw close—up the Women's Ashes trophy. Arran Brindle, who was
:19:32. > :19:35.part of the side which beat Australia this summer, brought the
:19:35. > :19:38.trophy to her home town. As our sports reporter Simon Clark
:19:38. > :19:41.explains, more and more girls are now playing the game.
:19:41. > :19:51.It is one of women's crickets top prizes. It is a privilege to bring
:19:51. > :19:57.the Ashes trophy here. The Ashes were shown off to school children in
:19:57. > :20:01.Louth. They were suitably impressed. It is quite amazing to see the Ashes
:20:01. > :20:09.right there. Really good they have won it. Aaron was at the non—striker
:20:09. > :20:12.'s end when the showings were beaten in front of a huge crowd. The
:20:12. > :20:20.women's Ashes caught the public imagination. They have tennis fever
:20:20. > :20:25.when Wimbledon is on, and cricket, especially when the showings around.
:20:25. > :20:30.Cricket has generally grown and if we have successful national teams of
:20:30. > :20:33.men and women, that will push the matter people playing cricket.
:20:33. > :20:41.Thanks to the talents of the women's team, the growth of the girls in the
:20:41. > :20:50.women's game has been phenomenal. Nowhere is that more evident then in
:20:50. > :20:56.Hull and East Yorkshire. I am seeing a 30% increase. A lot of the
:20:56. > :20:59.are attending the local clubs expressing interest to play. We're
:20:59. > :21:04.going to support them through that. We have now got the right mechanisms
:21:04. > :21:09.in place. The growth is extraordinary. In 1998, England
:21:09. > :21:15.women warmed up under England was like under 16 boys are in front of a
:21:15. > :21:20.handful of enthusiast. By 2013, the game against Pakistan attracted 2000
:21:20. > :21:25.fans. We have a close working relationship with the ECB for Dell
:21:25. > :21:30.support, not forgetting the man we are fully supportive of that. I
:21:30. > :21:35.personally believe that everyone should have the opportunity, that I
:21:35. > :21:42.did not have many years ago. Thanks to a talented player from Louth,
:21:42. > :21:45.women's cricket is in good health. Hull FC can book their place in
:21:45. > :21:48.Super League's Preliminary semi finals tonight if they win. The
:21:49. > :21:52.Black and White's face the Catalan Dragons and Coach Peter Gentle says
:21:52. > :21:57.playing at home will give his side a slight advantage. They have had a
:21:58. > :22:01.month of footy where they have played four of the top five sides in
:22:01. > :22:08.the competition and being very competitive in the competition. They
:22:08. > :22:12.are matched Harden —— match hardened. We are playing at home
:22:12. > :22:15.which is fortunate. It means our preparation will not be disrupted.
:22:15. > :22:19.It is going to be a tough game. And you can hear full commentary of that
