:00:00. > :00:00.through the weekend. That is all from us.
:00:00. > :00:14.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight:
:00:14. > :00:20.Struggling to read and write — why children in this area are bottom of
:00:20. > :00:26.the class. An strongest link is with your chances of going on to get your
:00:26. > :00:29.good exam results at the age of 16. Dog owners warned of a mystery
:00:29. > :00:35.illness killing pets. The Scunthorpe speedway star reveals
:00:36. > :00:39.how he became world champion. The bee lady of Hull on national
:00:39. > :00:46.television as years of fundraising is recognised. They are such nice
:00:46. > :00:55.people, I have got to say nice things. You get more money. A much
:00:55. > :01:06.colder feel to the weather from tomorrow onwards. Jamie later in the
:01:06. > :01:08.programme for the full forecast. Good evening.
:01:09. > :01:12.Young children in Yorkshire and the Humber have the worst reading record
:01:12. > :01:15.in England. It's claimed almost 40 per cent of those aged between five
:01:15. > :01:20.and seven don't reach the required standard. And it's storing up
:01:21. > :01:25.problems for the future, with poorer exam results and a cost to the UK
:01:25. > :01:28.economy running in to billions. Tonight, education experts in this
:01:29. > :01:33.area say parents need to make more time to help children improve their
:01:33. > :01:42.reading. Leanne Brown has this report. Who can tell me, what is the
:01:42. > :01:45.title of this book? Here at St Mary's there's a huge
:01:45. > :01:52.focus on getting children to enjoy reading at school and at home.
:01:52. > :01:57.Here, it is non—negotiable. They bring their book back every night,
:01:57. > :02:00.we sign it. They are rewarded. Essentially, we try and choose books
:02:00. > :02:05.that are fun for the children, that have nice stories Anne Williams, so
:02:05. > :02:17.they are engaged in what they are beating —— nice stories and themes.
:02:17. > :02:21.Save the Children say that 30% of children fall below the required
:02:21. > :02:27.standard in this area. In the East Midlands, it is 35%. And in all
:02:27. > :02:30.areas, where children are twice as likely not to meet these standards.
:02:30. > :02:35.The charities say it can affect them for the rest of their lives. Where
:02:35. > :02:39.you see the strongest link is with your chances of getting good exam
:02:39. > :02:42.results at 16 and then going to university and into the labour
:02:42. > :02:49.market and so on. But there are increased risks of things like
:02:49. > :02:53.dropping out of school. But also, in time, be doing quite going to
:02:53. > :02:59.prison. Those in charge of learning at Hull City Council say it's not
:02:59. > :03:02.just schools who are responsible. You need to get up in the morning,
:03:02. > :03:06.get your children some breakfast, get them to school on time. I doing
:03:06. > :03:13.things for providing school breakfast for free, the next age is
:03:13. > :03:17.saying, at home, how about reading with your kids. Read to them, ask
:03:17. > :03:21.them to be to you. Simple things. But parents we spoke to already
:03:21. > :03:30.allocate time to read with their kids. Every day they have a story
:03:30. > :03:36.before bedtime. We did the Creepy Has, where they had to read six
:03:36. > :03:40.books for the summer holidays and they went to the City Hall to
:03:40. > :03:42.collect their medals. For those who aren't as lucky a nationwide
:03:42. > :03:51.campaign has been launched, recruiting volunteers to help those
:03:51. > :03:54.who have fallen behind. Young children in the Yorkshire and
:03:55. > :03:57.Humber area have the worst reading record in the country.
:03:57. > :04:00.I spoke to the Yorkshire author Gervase Phinn — himself a former
:04:00. > :04:04.teacher — and asked if he agreed with the report that poor reading at
:04:04. > :04:11.seven can damage a child's future prospects. No, I would not go along
:04:11. > :04:14.with that. In my experience, I have taught children who are not
:04:14. > :04:19.particularly good at reading at six or seven or eight, but once you get
:04:19. > :04:26.them hooked on books, it can take. I think it is sweeping say that. But
:04:26. > :04:32.these figures are not good. Is this the fault of the schools or the
:04:32. > :04:37.parents? The combination is if you have dynamic teaching, book boxes
:04:37. > :04:42.and classrooms, great libraries, and if every parent read with a child,
:04:42. > :04:46.not at all to a child, but with a child every night, for just half an
:04:46. > :04:50.hour, it would be of the fruits of a lifetime. Parents are often too busy
:04:51. > :04:57.to know —— periods of them too busy now to just sit down. But they are
:04:57. > :05:03.out working all day to provide their children. They don't want to come
:05:03. > :05:10.home and do that at night. They think that is a teacher's job. It's
:05:10. > :05:13.not just about that. It's about enjoying books and finding it
:05:13. > :05:18.pleasurable. The new national curriculum actually mentions
:05:18. > :05:24.pleasure, enjoyment, a lot of reading, and that is the key. But
:05:24. > :05:33.these figures are the worst in the country. I think they are dreadful.
:05:33. > :05:37.I am appalled by it. And another report says that we are way down the
:05:37. > :05:43.European league tables in 16—25 —year—olds. Something clearly must
:05:43. > :05:53.be done. A final question, does it matter what the children are
:05:53. > :05:58.reading? I don't think so. A comic? A comic, maybe. When I was president
:05:58. > :06:03.of the School Library Association, there were certain books I would not
:06:03. > :06:07.let young people be because they were offensive or unpleasant. But
:06:07. > :06:12.generally, if a child is reading and enjoys reading, that is what we
:06:12. > :06:17.want. Very good to see you. We want to hear from you on this
:06:17. > :06:24.story. Should it be schools or parents that do more to help improve
:06:24. > :06:26.reading standards? Why are our 5—7 —year—old is the worst in the
:06:26. > :06:29.country? reading standards? Why are our 5—7
:06:29. > :06:41.—year—old is the The details are on your screen now. I look forward to
:06:41. > :06:45.hearing from you, as always. In a moment: A historic horse fair
:06:45. > :06:52.is banned from Hull — organisers say they'll find a new location.
:06:53. > :06:58.A Lincolnshire vet is warning dog owners about a sudden increase in
:06:58. > :07:01.cases of a mystery illness. Seasonal Canine Illness can be fatal. Experts
:07:01. > :07:04.still don't know exactly what causes it — but in recent years a number of
:07:04. > :07:08.dogs, walked in woodlands, have suddenly become ill. Gemma Dawson
:07:08. > :07:12.reports. Enjoying a cuddle at home. But just
:07:12. > :07:16.two weeks ago Alfie was fighting for his life. He was diagnosed with
:07:16. > :07:26.Seasonal Canine Illness after being taken for a woodland walk. He was
:07:27. > :07:32.being sick, he had diarrhoea, and the poor little lad had collapsed by
:07:32. > :07:35.the morning. I had to lift and into the car. This vet in Gainsborough
:07:35. > :07:42.has seen a sudden increase in cases, treating 15 dogs in just one week.
:07:42. > :07:49.Another three have been admitted in the last 48 hours. If it is mild,
:07:49. > :07:56.they get better in a couple of days. Otherwise, it can take up to a
:07:56. > :07:59.week with drugs and fluids. Cases of Seasonal Canine Illness are usually
:07:59. > :08:02.seen between August and November. Experts still don't know what causes
:08:02. > :08:07.it. But attention has now focused on harvest mites. To try to eliminate
:08:07. > :08:10.these as a possible cause, pet owners are being advised to treat
:08:10. > :08:17.their dogs with a fipronil—based insecticidal spray before going on
:08:18. > :08:19.woodland walks. Here at the Owlet on the edge of Laughton Woods, warning
:08:19. > :08:33.signs have now been put up. couple of cases confirmed with the
:08:33. > :08:36.local vets, so that is why we want everybody to make sure they have all
:08:36. > :08:40.the information so they can make a choice when it comes to taking their
:08:40. > :08:45.dog out. The Animal Health Trust has spent the last three years
:08:45. > :08:50.investigating this illness. It has been looking at five sites,
:08:50. > :08:53.including the Sandringham estate in Norfolk and Sherwood Forest in
:08:53. > :08:57.Nottingham. But it says the number of fatal cases has reduced
:08:57. > :09:01.dramatically. In 2010 20% of cases of Seasonal Canine Illness proved to
:09:01. > :09:05.be fatal. Last year just 2% of cases reported to the Animal Health Trust
:09:05. > :09:13.resulted in death. But until experts find the cause, Alfie won't be going
:09:13. > :09:17.on any more woodland walks. It's been revealed that a man from
:09:17. > :09:23.Grimsby is suing Humberside Police in what is being described as a
:09:23. > :09:25.landmark legal case. At the High Court in London Christopher
:09:25. > :09:29.Sarjantson is claiming that the force breached his human rights by
:09:29. > :09:35.taking too long to respond to a 999 call as he was being attacked in the
:09:35. > :09:39.town by a gang of youths. Well, our Correspondent Paul Murphy has been
:09:39. > :09:44.following the case. Paul, what's the importance of this court action?
:09:44. > :09:49.Well, it's the first time anyone has tried to sue the UK police for being
:09:49. > :09:51.late to an emergency call. It dates back to 2006 when Christopher
:09:51. > :09:55.Sarjantson, an innocent bystander, was attacked by a gang of youths
:09:55. > :09:58.wielding baseball bats, and suffered serious head injuries. The court has
:09:58. > :10:00.been told that it took Humberside Police 26 minutes to arrive after
:10:00. > :10:05.the first 999 Sarjantson's argument that this
:10:05. > :10:09.delay is in breach of his human rights, because the force had a duty
:10:09. > :10:13.to protect someone who was in immediate and serious danger. The
:10:13. > :10:17.police said there was nothing they could reasonably do to get there in
:10:17. > :10:21.time. The Forces also warning that the judgement will affect not only
:10:21. > :10:29.them, but police forces all across the country. The more news now.
:10:29. > :10:37.Police are looking for a 15—year—old girl who may have gone to work with
:10:37. > :10:41.the 20 old man at Hull Fare. Detectives say that Judy Ellwood has
:10:41. > :10:44.been missing for a few days. They are asking for the public to help
:10:44. > :10:47.locate the two. The nationalised railway company,
:10:47. > :10:50.East Coast, has made a profit of more than £200 million. The route,
:10:50. > :10:53.which connects this area to London and Scotland, has been run by a
:10:53. > :10:57.government—owned company for the last four years. The line is due to
:10:57. > :10:59.return to a private operator by 2015.
:10:59. > :11:03.The former ice—house on Grimsby Docks has been added to the World
:11:03. > :11:06.Monument Fund's list of buildings that should be preserved. It was
:11:06. > :11:09.once the largest ice factory in the world producing thousands of tonnes
:11:09. > :11:18.a day for the town's fishing industry. We are just about to put
:11:18. > :11:23.in a heavy bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund for money towards the
:11:23. > :11:28.project, which will cost more than £12 million. So too have our
:11:28. > :11:36.building highlighted and have the World Monuments Fund saying that it
:11:36. > :11:38.is urgent is fantastic. Thank you to everyone who got in
:11:38. > :11:40.touch with us about the six protesters convicted of criminal
:11:40. > :11:44.damage at an airbase in Lincolnshire. They cut through a
:11:44. > :11:46.fence at RAF Waddington during a demonstration against the use of
:11:46. > :11:49.unmanned drones over Afghanistan. They claim they're used to kill
:11:49. > :11:55.civilians, but the Ministry of Defence says they're vital for
:11:55. > :11:58.military operations. A big response. Just a few.
:11:58. > :12:04.Pat and Ian say, "We support the protesters 100%. The Drones are evil
:12:04. > :12:07.and we are ashamed that our Government promotes their use."
:12:07. > :12:09.But Dave in Lincoln says, "The protesters may believe they're doing
:12:09. > :12:13.good but they're actually endangering the lives of our young
:12:13. > :12:17.forces who are fighting to protect their right to protest."
:12:17. > :12:24.While Bill in Grimsby says, "I would sooner see an unmanned drone in the
:12:24. > :12:27.sky, than soldiers on the ground." Thank you for those.
:12:27. > :12:31.Scunthorpe's World Champion Speedway Rider has told Look North he thinks
:12:31. > :12:35.his hard work this season has paid off. Tai Woffenden, won the title on
:12:35. > :12:42.Saturday at the Speedway Grand Prix in Poland. He only arrived home at
:12:42. > :12:48.three o'clock this morning, but has been speaking to Jessica Lane.
:12:48. > :12:51.Back in Scunthorpe with his bikes. Tai Woffinden became Speedway's
:12:51. > :13:01.World Champion on Saturday but says he's glad to be home. This is where
:13:01. > :13:06.was born. I've got my friends here, a lot my family here as well. It
:13:06. > :13:12.will always have a place in my heart. I came over in 2006 from
:13:12. > :13:18.professional, and it has been pretty crazy. This is the gold medal that
:13:18. > :13:22.he won at the weekend. He will also get a trophy which she can put
:13:22. > :13:27.alongside his collection, including the one he got earlier this year as
:13:27. > :13:31.British champion. But it is this World Championship weekend that has
:13:31. > :13:36.made him the first British titleholder in 13 years. And with
:13:36. > :13:38.the training and travelling involved in his job, Tai Woffenden says he
:13:38. > :13:44.could not do it without his supporting. My mum helps me with the
:13:44. > :13:49.flight and paper works and stuff, and my girlfriend helps me with that
:13:49. > :13:56.as well. My mechanics in Europe, my manager, it's amazing. Getting paid
:13:56. > :14:01.to do something that you love is wonderful. Tai Woffenden is taking a
:14:01. > :14:04.few weeks to recover from a collarbone injury before he starts
:14:04. > :14:10.to plan on the next season. So, he has little time to reflect on his
:14:10. > :14:25.current victory. But in Scunthorpe on the map.
:14:25. > :14:29.Still ahead tonight: We are live for a very important game for Grimsby
:14:29. > :14:36.football club. Hull's bee lady mixes with the stars
:14:36. > :14:45.as she collects a national award. A fantastic story. Let's have a look
:14:45. > :14:51.at tonight's picture. This is the pond at Bishop Burton. The director
:14:51. > :14:57.was very excited by this one. Thank you very much indeed. Another
:14:57. > :15:03.picture tomorrow night. And time for the weather. Good
:15:03. > :15:08.evening. It was another lovely day, but I'm afraid that change is afoot.
:15:08. > :15:12.It is going to turn colder. We have held onto the mild air for quite
:15:12. > :15:16.some time, so I think it will be a bit of a shock to the system as this
:15:16. > :15:19.cold air comes down, bringing with it some showers and some
:15:19. > :15:24.strengthening northerly winds as well. It will feel quite cold. A
:15:24. > :15:28.fine into the night tonight, however, and overnight tonight it
:15:28. > :15:34.will stay dry, with perhaps one or two showers in the North.
:15:34. > :15:37.Temperatures overnight will drop down to 11 degrees, 52 in
:15:37. > :15:41.Fahrenheit, so perhaps a little bit colder than it has been of late.
:15:41. > :15:50.Tomorrow morning, the sun will rise at seven 17 a.m., and those are your
:15:50. > :15:53.high waters —— 7:17am. So, we will see that cold air coming down from
:15:53. > :15:58.the North as we go through tomorrow. I have added to the map some arrows
:15:58. > :16:02.to emphasise the strength of the wind. It will pick up and introduce
:16:02. > :16:05.the cold air and the scattering of showers coming through on the wind.
:16:05. > :16:10.They will go southwards fairly quickly, but the strength of the
:16:10. > :16:14.wind will really pick up, especially along the coast, where we are
:16:14. > :16:20.expecting some deals. Gusts will be up to and above 50 mph. Temperatures
:16:20. > :16:24.will be 13 or 14 degrees, 57 Fahrenheit, and it will
:16:24. > :16:28.feel quite cold, especially along the coast. There will be further
:16:28. > :16:32.showers overnight, Wednesday and it is thirsty, and again, we're looking
:16:32. > :16:37.at a cold night on the cards. Waking up on Thursday, a very cold night.
:16:37. > :16:41.There could even be some frost. Through the day, we're likely to
:16:41. > :16:45.hold onto that strong wind with some showers around, especially along the
:16:45. > :16:46.coast. By Friday, although it will be cold, it looks like we should see
:16:46. > :16:50.some nice dry and bright weather. some nice
:16:50. > :16:54.Thank you. Organisers of an historic horse fair
:16:54. > :16:57.in Hull say it will still go ahead despite an injunction preventing it
:16:58. > :17:01.from using roads in the city. Those behind the event were at county
:17:01. > :17:10.court this morning and they say they will work with the council to find a
:17:10. > :17:17.suitable location for their event. Tolu Adeoye has this report.
:17:17. > :17:20.They say Hull Horse Fair is one of the city's oldest traditions. Knocky
:17:20. > :17:25.Windas and David Norris have been going to since they were children.
:17:25. > :17:31.But today in court a judge upheld an injunction preventing it from taking
:17:31. > :17:38.place on the city's roads this year. I think it is terrible, love. I have
:17:38. > :17:44.gone there from being a lad. No one has ever been arrested on the day.
:17:44. > :17:48.They had nothing in black and white in the courts to say that anyone is
:17:48. > :17:52.causing trouble. The council and Humberside Police say they are keen
:17:52. > :17:59.to avoid scenes like this, with horses blocking
:17:59. > :18:01.raced, causing disruption to local people and businesses. The concerns
:18:01. > :18:07.are about public safety, when you've got horses racing up and down the
:18:07. > :18:11.flyover, but also businesses on Khartoum Street in particular that
:18:11. > :18:20.have been troubled by previous events. We do not want to risk any
:18:20. > :18:24.accidents or incidents. Those behind a fair deny that horses would be
:18:24. > :18:27.raised. But in court today, the judge said that the issue was not
:18:27. > :18:31.whether horses would be raised or not, it was that permission should
:18:31. > :18:37.have been sought to put on an event on public roads. It will still go
:18:37. > :18:40.ahead. They have said we cannot block any streets in whole or
:18:40. > :18:44.anything like that. We do not want to block any streets. We just want
:18:44. > :18:50.to have our worst fear. Shall our goods. We will find a field
:18:50. > :18:54.somewhere to have it on —— show our goods. The horse fair was due to
:18:54. > :18:58.take place on Monday — those involved with it say it will go
:18:58. > :19:02.ahead but time is running out to get something in place so that it can do
:19:02. > :19:05.so legally. Extra officers will be on patrol to police any attempt to
:19:05. > :19:08.breach the order. It may be early in the football
:19:08. > :19:11.season, but Grimsby Town fans are arriving for what promises to be a
:19:11. > :19:15.crucial promotion fixture tonight. The Mariners face Cambridge United
:19:15. > :19:18.at Blundell Park — but officials at the club have said money is urgently
:19:18. > :19:22.needed to prevent the team 'suffocating' at their current home.
:19:22. > :19:25.The comments were made in a live BBC Radio Humberside forum, as Phillip
:19:25. > :19:29.Norton reports. It's been Grimsby Town's home for a
:19:29. > :19:32.hundred and fifteen years — the issue of a new stadium has become
:19:32. > :19:35.something of a saga The laughter at this BBC Radio Humberside live
:19:35. > :19:38.debate is because fans are still waiting for their now non—league
:19:38. > :19:41.football club to compete financially with a new stadium still waiting on
:19:41. > :20:00.council clearance and some investment. Without, we will not
:20:00. > :20:05.relocate. We are gradually suffocating here. We don't have the
:20:05. > :20:09.income streams associated with modern —day football at this ground,
:20:09. > :20:13.and we never would, even if we redeveloped. When these plans were
:20:13. > :20:16.first put forward Grimsby Town were still in the league — and doing
:20:16. > :20:19.well. Right now though they sit second in the Conference, behind the
:20:19. > :20:23.team they take on tonight Cambridge, though ahead of fellow long term
:20:23. > :20:27.strugglers Lincoln. Last season saw the club reach the play—offs and the
:20:27. > :20:31.final of the FA Trophy at Wembley under managers Rob Scott and Paul
:20:31. > :20:35.Hurst. Last month, Rob Scott was suspended, leaving Hurst in charge.
:20:35. > :20:41.So are both Grimsby's fans and manager upbeat about what's going on
:20:41. > :20:48.— on and off the pitch? We assembled a good squad at the beginning of the
:20:48. > :20:52.season. The recent performances have started to show that. It does take
:20:52. > :20:59.time to gel. People don't want to hear that, but it does. There is
:20:59. > :21:09.some confidence in the ground. objections having passed, perhaps
:21:09. > :21:12.that's no surprise. Supporters however, hope they won't have to
:21:12. > :21:15.wait another five to see their team back in the league and at a new
:21:16. > :21:26.stadium. Well, Phil is live at Blundell Park
:21:26. > :21:37.tonight. Phil, how vital is tonight's game for the club? Tonight
:21:37. > :21:40.is a 6—pointer. At the moment, Cambridge are on top. They have
:21:40. > :21:44.raised away with it. They are seven points clear, and so Grimsby Can
:21:44. > :21:50.play them tonight with the hope that they will beat them and close that
:21:50. > :21:54.gap. A few weeks ago, Grimsby town lost four —nil to Halifax. They are
:21:54. > :21:57.hoping that they will begin a momentum to get back into the
:21:57. > :22:01.football league and hopefully that dream of a new stadium will become a
:22:01. > :22:05.reality. Let's hope so. And you can hear coverageof that
:22:05. > :22:06.game on BBC Radio Humberside in an hour's time.

:22:09. > :22:19.against Tamworth will be live on BBC Radio Lincolnshire.
:22:19. > :22:23.Gainsborough Trinity will appeal against being kicked out of the FA
:22:23. > :22:26.Cup. Loan signing Jordan Thomas played in the last round, but the FA
:22:26. > :22:31.says it didn't receive his paperwork in time. Gainsborough say they sent
:22:31. > :22:43.an email, but accept they should have checked his eligibility. I am a
:22:43. > :22:46.bit disheartened for the supporters, but it was not something we did
:22:46. > :22:51.deliberately. We didn't think we would fill anybody. It is just an
:22:51. > :22:54.administrative error. Plans for a major re—structuring of
:22:54. > :22:57.Rugby League have been thrown into disarray after the majority of Super
:22:57. > :23:00.League clubs rejected the proposals. Wigan, the Super League Grand Final
:23:00. > :23:04.winners, led the opposition to the plans. A meeting of all Rugby League
:23:04. > :23:10.clubs including Hull and Hull Kingston Rovers has now been delayed
:23:10. > :23:14.until next month. A grandmother from Hull — who's
:23:14. > :23:18.raised nearly £100,000 for charity — will tonight be honoured on national
:23:18. > :23:21.television. Ninety—one—year—old Jean Bishop, also known as the Bee Lady,
:23:21. > :23:30.started fundraising in her home city nearly thirty years ago. Fantastic
:23:30. > :23:39.story. Now she's been given a Pride of Britain award. Simon Spark
:23:39. > :23:43.reports. The Buzz is all about Jean Bishop on
:23:43. > :23:47.her way for a night with the stars, getting ready to receive a Pride of
:23:47. > :23:55.Britain award for fundraiser of the year. Well, I just did not believe
:23:55. > :23:59.it. I thought that everybody was pulling my leg. It had not sunk in
:23:59. > :24:03.yet. We, of course, know Jean better like this — dressed as a Bee,
:24:03. > :24:06.collecting money for Age UK — but tonight the nation will see her
:24:06. > :24:12.being honoured by top celebrities and collecting her very special
:24:12. > :24:22.invitation from one of them. Hello, Jean. All! I was surprised to see
:24:22. > :24:28.him, never mind telling me I had one. I did not know what to take in
:24:28. > :24:33.first. I was really surprised. You have won an award for the Fundraiser
:24:33. > :24:40.Of The Year At at the Pride Of Britain Towards. I don't believe
:24:40. > :24:47.it! She was worried about what she should wear — but in the end it was
:24:47. > :24:53.the bee they wanted to see. I hide behind it, DC. I can say what I
:24:53. > :24:56.like. And then she when to work — with two buckets this time —
:24:56. > :25:03.swapping kisses for quids from the likes of Ed Miliband. Please welcome
:25:03. > :25:08.fundraiser of the year, Jean Bishop! And today there was no rest
:25:08. > :25:12.after her late night — just straight onto the Alan Titchmarsh Show for a
:25:12. > :25:18.live chat. Before last night Jean had raised £92,000, and her goal was
:25:18. > :25:27.£100,000. So, how much is it now? Don't give the game away, Jean. I
:25:27. > :25:37.haven't said how much the end. We'll just have wait and see, while Jean
:25:37. > :25:41.gets used to her well—earned fame. That is fantastic, isn't it? Well
:25:41. > :25:50.done to Jean. She was out partying last night and I am told that she is
:25:50. > :25:54.still down in London, probably at another party. Her programme is on
:25:54. > :25:59.ITV tonight if you want to see it. Let's have every cap of the national
:25:59. > :26:05.and local headlines. The scientist behind the world's
:26:05. > :26:09.biggest experiment gets a Nobel Prize for physics. And this area has
:26:09. > :26:14.the lowest reading standards in the country. A charity says that a poor
:26:14. > :26:18.start will affect children's earning prospects.
:26:18. > :26:21.And in the weather, wins strengthening tomorrow and it will
:26:21. > :26:30.be much colder. Top temperature of around 14 Celsius.
:26:30. > :26:35.A lot of messages coming in on the subject of 5—7—year—olds and their
:26:35. > :26:42.feeding being the worst in the country in the Yorkshire area ——
:26:42. > :26:47.reading comprehension. Sarah says, I am the way surprised. Gary says
:26:47. > :26:55.there should be fewer pupils per class. And someone else says, "yes,
:26:55. > :27:04.the parents should and do the mac could do more. " And from Bernard, "
:27:04. > :27:09.children need help from parents and teachers. If parents are too busy,
:27:09. > :27:16.then they should not have kids." Mark says, " how can anyone be too
:27:16. > :27:19.busy for half an hour of reading with their child?" Alex has tweeted,
:27:19. > :27:27."parents should spend more of putting them in front of the
:27:27. > :27:33.television." And finally John in Lincoln says, "I am 72 and I can
:27:33. > :27:37.never remember my parents reading to me or encouraging me to read, but I
:27:37. > :27:41.gained good qualifications anyway." Thank you very much for all of
:27:41. > :27:44.those. Join me tomorrow on the radio at lunchtime if you can. Have a
:27:44. > :27:46.wonderful evening and see you tomorrow.
