:00:16. > :00:18.North. The headlines tonight: Saving hundreds of children from sex
:00:19. > :00:20.offenders ` the charity being praised by police.
:00:21. > :00:23.Tributes for the rugby star who raised half a million for charity
:00:24. > :00:39.during seven years with terminal cancer. An inspiring and humbling
:00:40. > :00:43.individual. The game and the world is poorer for his passing.
:00:44. > :00:50.A Government minister praises Hull's City of Culture bid on a tour of the
:00:51. > :00:58.city. I think it was impressed by the bed. ` ` I think everyone is
:00:59. > :01:05.impressed by the big. How this jazz band got themselves a
:01:06. > :01:09.gig at the Albert Hall. After a dismal day, brighter prospects for
:01:10. > :01:18.tomorrow. I will be back with the forecast.
:01:19. > :01:21.A charity that has saved hundreds of children from sex offenders says the
:01:22. > :01:24.problem of child grooming is far greater than they first thought.
:01:25. > :01:28.Cornerhouse in Hull, which is partly funded by Children In Need, works
:01:29. > :01:36.with young people at risk of being pursued by older men. Humberside
:01:37. > :01:39.Police says the charity has been crucial in bringing offenders to
:01:40. > :01:48.justice. Our reporter, Caroline Bilton, has been talking to some of
:01:49. > :01:58.the teenagers who have been helped. I was drinking, I was taking drugs.
:01:59. > :02:01.I was only 14 at the time. I'd be awake for seven, eight days
:02:02. > :02:04.straight. She's not even 16 years old and yet she's already
:02:05. > :02:07.experienced more than most. I was going to my drug dealer's
:02:08. > :02:14.house. And spending days and days there. He would ask for sexual
:02:15. > :02:24.favours for drugs and me, because I was drunk and young, and absolutely
:02:25. > :02:28.off my face, I agreed. Anything to get another gram.
:02:29. > :02:32.In the past year, Sarah ` a name she has asked us to use so as not to
:02:33. > :02:35.reveal her identity, has been able to get her life back on track, and
:02:36. > :02:39.it's thanks to this charity, Cornerhouse. Her drug dealer is now
:02:40. > :02:43.in prison and she's now back at college and studying to become a
:02:44. > :02:46.youth worker. She is one of many children this charity works with who
:02:47. > :02:52.are in crisis and who are at risk of being exploited.
:02:53. > :02:55.If you look at levels of one`to`one support, which we offer, I would
:02:56. > :03:13.suggest at any one time the project is working with 30, 35 young people.
:03:14. > :03:21.I think we're only touching the surface and, I hate to say that, but
:03:22. > :03:25.I do believe that quite strongly. This video highlights to youngsters
:03:26. > :03:32.dangers they may be putting themselves in, and highlights the
:03:33. > :03:39.dangers of sexual grooming. I used to smoke weed every day. I took
:03:40. > :03:48.speed and stuff like that. I know I am so lucky I did not get into that
:03:49. > :03:57.type of danger. It was a massive eye`opener. Child sexual grooming is
:03:58. > :04:00.not as big in this area as in some areas. I wouldn't like to scare
:04:01. > :04:04.everybody in the area. Let's not be naive, it is happening everywhere.
:04:05. > :04:06.We are tackling it front on. We are extremely proactive. We couldn't
:04:07. > :04:11.make it happen without our partners at the Cornerhouse project, we
:04:12. > :04:22.couldn't. There are people now in custody because of this project,
:04:23. > :04:31.because people trusted us. How important is Children In Need to the
:04:32. > :04:35.project? It means we can carry on. If we were not here, where with
:04:36. > :04:39.these young people go? I have never known this sort of control of
:04:40. > :04:53.myself. And of my life and where I'm heading in life for a very, very
:04:54. > :04:56.long time. It's fantastic. ?NEWLINE Cornerhouse in Hull is one of more
:04:57. > :05:04.than 2,700 organisations across the UK helped by Children in Need. Every
:05:05. > :05:09.penny you raise or donate goes towards helping children in real
:05:10. > :05:21.need, here in the UK. In a moment: Armistice Day services
:05:22. > :05:29.are held across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
:05:30. > :05:32.?? new line The Government minister in charge of culture says he is
:05:33. > :05:37.impressed with the public support in Hull for the city's bid to be City
:05:38. > :05:44.of Culture in 2017. Hull is up against Leicester, Dundee and
:05:45. > :05:47.Swansea Bay for the title. The winner is announced in nine days.
:05:48. > :05:57.The Culture Minister, Ed Vaizey, took a tour of Hull this morning. We
:05:58. > :05:59.will hear more from him in a moment, but first, Jill Archbold has this
:06:00. > :06:03.report. It's been four months since Hull
:06:04. > :06:07.made the short list to be the UK's City of Culture, and now it's only a
:06:08. > :06:10.short wait to find out if they win. Just days before the final bid
:06:11. > :06:15.presentation, Culture Minister Ed Vaizey paid a visit to the city. He
:06:16. > :06:18.was shown around Humber Street and the Marina, with members of the bid
:06:19. > :06:22.team demonstrating how places like the fruit market are being
:06:23. > :06:27.regenerated. Somewhere like Humber Street is a
:06:28. > :06:30.really authentic environment. It is creative, it provides the right
:06:31. > :06:34.environment for new industries, new creative and digital industries as
:06:35. > :06:38.well as the arts. That is what makes us what we are, makes us unique,
:06:39. > :06:44.quirky and this is why our bid is such a great bid.
:06:45. > :06:47.At Fruit Trade Music a quick burst of song where father and son team
:06:48. > :06:56.Malcom and Mikey have invested thousands to create music studios.
:06:57. > :06:59.There are so many well`intentioned people here, right the way down the
:07:00. > :07:03.street from people opening cafes, breweries, galleries, exhibition
:07:04. > :07:08.centres to educational centres. There is so much positivity. We want
:07:09. > :07:11.to give them the confidence if we are lucky enough to be granted the
:07:12. > :07:15.City of Culture, that we will deliver.
:07:16. > :07:19.No politicians are amongst those making the final decision, but the
:07:20. > :07:27.Culture Minister did say Hull's bid was exciting and had the support of
:07:28. > :07:36.people living here. Earlier, I spoke to the minister on
:07:37. > :07:42.his visit to Hull's fruit market. What is your early in pressure Hull?
:07:43. > :07:48.It is a fantastic city. It is of whiskey a great historical city. I
:07:49. > :07:54.have just been to the Museum of William Wilberforce, and he is a
:07:55. > :07:59.great hero of mine. I bumped into Philip Larkin had I came off the
:08:00. > :08:06.train. Andrew Marvell is from here. It is also very modern city. We have
:08:07. > :08:11.such high unemployment. Is Hull the most deserving city to win, do you
:08:12. > :08:16.think? Well, the best city with the best bid will win. What is brilliant
:08:17. > :08:22.about the competition, if you like, is that it allows a lot of cities to
:08:23. > :08:25.look at what they have got in terms of their cultural offerings, what
:08:26. > :08:31.makes their city attractive, and put forward the best it. If Hull wins,
:08:32. > :08:36.it will be because Hull has done the best bid. Everyone is saying our bid
:08:37. > :08:42.is perhaps the most united. Is there anything else we can do in the final
:08:43. > :08:45.ten days? I am sure your viewers will know it is an independent panel
:08:46. > :08:54.who makes a choice, and not politicians. I know people are going
:08:55. > :09:00.over to Londonderry to make their final pitches this Wednesday. That
:09:01. > :09:07.is really the last gasp. I think everyone is impressed by their Hull
:09:08. > :09:14.bid and how United the city is. Some people here fear that there might be
:09:15. > :09:19.favourable treatment to Dundee in Scotland. What is your reaction to
:09:20. > :09:29.that? At the risk of repeating myself, the
:09:30. > :09:33.panel who will bet the final decision does not have a single
:09:34. > :09:38.politician on it. It is chaired by Phil Redmond from Liverpool. I do
:09:39. > :09:45.not think there will be thinking about which is the best city. The
:09:46. > :09:50.best city for politics, I mean. If you were a betting man, who would
:09:51. > :10:00.win? I can't possibly comment on that. Hull's bid is fantastic. It is
:10:01. > :10:05.exciting. It has united the city. All parts of the community are
:10:06. > :10:12.supporting it. It is not just led from the top. It should involve
:10:13. > :10:21.everyone. And you have absolutely no inference whatsoever? Absolutely
:10:22. > :10:26.not. There is no point in me saying you are the most charming minister I
:10:27. > :10:35.have interviewed in 30 years? I think that could be helpful but not
:10:36. > :10:37.in relation to the bid! Thank you. The culture minister talking to me
:10:38. > :10:40.this morning. With the decision being made next
:10:41. > :10:42.week, what would you like to see happen in Hull if the city wins
:10:43. > :11:06.capital of culture? I look forward to hearing from you
:11:07. > :11:09.about that. A woman from Hull has admitted
:11:10. > :11:15.killing her baby daughter while she was suffering from post natal
:11:16. > :11:18.depression. At Hull Crown Court this morning, 21`year`old Natasha Sultan,
:11:19. > :11:20.seen here under the black umbrella, pleaded guilty to the infanticide of
:11:21. > :11:29.five`week`old Amelia Lily Sultan`Curtis in October 2012. The
:11:30. > :11:32.court heard the baby died from a head injury inflicted by Sultan when
:11:33. > :11:45.suffering from mental health problems. The baby has died at the
:11:46. > :11:48.hands of her mother. She would say due to the nature of the birth and
:11:49. > :11:57.how tired she was, she was affected by that.
:11:58. > :11:58.Still ahead tonight: Families and friends remembered as Armistice Day
:11:59. > :12:19.is marked. Thank you for watching.
:12:20. > :12:28.Karen Millington took this of Beverley Minster.
:12:29. > :12:36.I noticed Keely Donovan appeared. He is not on holiday again?
:12:37. > :12:45.I could not possibly comment. I think you code. ` ` I think you
:12:46. > :12:52.code. The document last week for forgetting to change the timestamp.
:12:53. > :12:59.You will be sick of methane. Tomorrow looks like a much brighter
:13:00. > :13:07.day. It was very cloudy today. ` ` you will be sick of me soon. The
:13:08. > :13:13.rest of the week doesn't look too bad. It will be very windy on
:13:14. > :13:20.Thursday. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday do not look bad at all. We
:13:21. > :13:23.did have a lots of cloud. We will see further outbreaks of rain and
:13:24. > :13:29.drizzle spread from the north`west through the evening. You can see
:13:30. > :13:35.those clearing south eastwards. They will linger around the wash towards
:13:36. > :13:41.the end of the night. Temperatures will fall, the lowest around about
:13:42. > :14:04.six or seven. Milder temperatures further north. It looks like a
:14:05. > :14:07.decent day. We can't rule out the odd shower, but for most places, it
:14:08. > :14:13.looks dry and bright with decent spells of sunshine. It was mild for
:14:14. > :14:17.the time of year but it will be cooler tomorrow. Some places will
:14:18. > :14:25.stay in single figures. Mostly, towns and cities will get up to ten
:14:26. > :14:40.or 11 Celsius. As we had through the rest of the week, Wednesday, chilly
:14:41. > :14:42.start. Friday and Saturday, bright. You looked a bit cagey then. I will
:14:43. > :14:51.get to the bottom of it. Maybe I will just that fibbing and
:14:52. > :14:55.say he's poorly. Business owners from the East Riding
:14:56. > :14:58.will find out tonight if they have won at a prestigious prize ceremony
:14:59. > :15:01.for tourism in Yorkshire Amongst the tourist attractions nominated are
:15:02. > :15:04.the restaurant 1884 Dock Street Kitchen in Hull, and the Spa at
:15:05. > :15:06.Bridlington nominated in the Best Business Tourism category at the
:15:07. > :15:10.annual White Rose Awards. Tributes have been paid for Steve
:15:11. > :15:16.Prescott, the former Hull FC rugby league player who died on Saturday
:15:17. > :15:19.aged 39. For seven years, he fought a rare stomach cancer, and during
:15:20. > :15:30.that time raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity.
:15:31. > :15:36.Simon Clark looks at the mark Steve Prescott left on people's lives.
:15:37. > :15:39.Steve Prescott had earned a very special place in Hull supporters'
:15:40. > :15:43.hearts as an attacking full`back. But when he was struck down by his
:15:44. > :15:46.illness he dedicated his remaining time to extreme charity fund raising
:15:47. > :15:57.events. Like this multi`marathon from Hull to Manchester.
:15:58. > :16:17.It was blowing a gale. It was hailstones, rain. Every weather you
:16:18. > :16:25.can imagine, we suffered today. He wanted to raise money and awareness
:16:26. > :16:29.as well. ?WHITE Hull FC will open a book of condolence on Wednesday, but
:16:30. > :16:34.fans can still pay tribute on the club's web pages.
:16:35. > :16:42.There has been talk about removing the number one shirt, and that is
:16:43. > :16:47.something we will be looking at. We need something that will last and
:16:48. > :16:50.create the right image of a man, and make sure his legacy is remembered
:16:51. > :16:54.in the right way. Tributes from all over the rugby league world have
:16:55. > :17:01.been paid to Steve Prescott ` such was his popularity with his fellow
:17:02. > :17:10.professionals. A really close friend. Someone we admired. We'll
:17:11. > :17:15.talk about him as a person, but I would also like to remember him as a
:17:16. > :17:18.fantastic rugby league player. I would describe him as a really
:17:19. > :17:23.humble individual with no edge on him. The game and the world will be
:17:24. > :17:26.a lot poorer for his passing. Steve Prescott, here receiving a doctorate
:17:27. > :17:30.from Hull University for his charity work, was a special player and a
:17:31. > :17:39.special man. He'll be very sadly missed. Very sad news.
:17:40. > :17:42.Simon Clark is at the KC Stadium, Steve Prescott was obviously very
:17:43. > :17:49.well loved and will be greatly missed. What is being planned as a
:17:50. > :17:53.memorial to him? Hull FC and Saint Helens have begun
:17:54. > :17:56.negotiations and discussions already. They are the two clubs
:17:57. > :18:04.Steve Prescott is most closely associated with. We done a precise
:18:05. > :18:09.details. It could take the form of a challenge, for example. Nothing will
:18:10. > :18:14.be decided until the involvement of the family. That once take place
:18:15. > :18:21.until a significant time of mourning has passed. Peter.
:18:22. > :18:24.Simon, thank you. We will of course keep you posted if we hear anything.
:18:25. > :18:27.Humberside Police say they are working with Grimsby Town and
:18:28. > :18:31.Scunthorpe United football clubs to promote the use of organised travel
:18:32. > :18:38.to and from an FA Cup replay game next week. The first round tie ended
:18:39. > :18:42.in a nil`nil draw on Saturday. After the game, there was a fight between
:18:43. > :18:46.fans of both teams. 12 people were arrested and three are still on
:18:47. > :18:49.bail. The winners of the FA Cup replay
:18:50. > :18:55.between Grimsby Town and Scunthorpe United will play Northampton Town.
:18:56. > :19:02.Lincoln City's prize for a replay win over Plymouth would be a match
:19:03. > :19:05.against Welling United. The Hull City manager Steve Bruce
:19:06. > :19:10.says he has no complaint after his side were beaten heavily by
:19:11. > :19:15.Southampton. The Tigers were 3`0 down at half time. Before Yannick
:19:16. > :19:24.Sagbo pulled a goal back. The game finished four one with Hull now 12th
:19:25. > :19:27.in the Premier League. On Friday we told you fast food
:19:28. > :19:34.chain Macdonald's is pulling out of Scunthorpe high street. The decision
:19:35. > :19:37.has been blamed on a change in shopping habits, and local traders
:19:38. > :19:39.called it a serious blow to the local economy. Thank you for your
:19:40. > :20:42.responses on this. Two minutes' silence has been
:20:43. > :20:45.observed to mark Armistice Day across East Yorkshire and
:20:46. > :20:48.Lincolnshire. People paid their respects in city centres workplaces
:20:49. > :20:51.and schools. At the Sentamu Academy in Hull, every pupil and teacher
:20:52. > :20:59.released a balloon to mark their respects. Simon Spark reports.
:21:00. > :21:05.At 11 o'clock, the only sound in our towns and cities was the rain
:21:06. > :21:22.falling. Here in Hull, Standards were lowered as the two minutes'
:21:23. > :21:25.silence began. On the high street in Lincoln, people gathered at the
:21:26. > :21:34.memorial. And at the senotaph in Mablethorpe. And in the schools.
:21:35. > :21:42.Here at the Sentamu Academy, they watched images of war while staying
:21:43. > :21:45.silent. But then they continued to prepare for their own special
:21:46. > :21:48.service. Here, 1,500 balloons were being filled to connect every pupil
:21:49. > :21:56.and member of staff to what armistice day was all about. It is
:21:57. > :22:02.important because my grandad was in the war and most of his friends died
:22:03. > :22:05.in it. We want to show respect to people who have fallen, and people
:22:06. > :22:09.in Afghanistan as well. We should never forget about what has
:22:10. > :22:19.happened. They did it for our freedom. I hope you are hopeful like
:22:20. > :22:25.me... Many years ago, they went into battle, not knowing if they would
:22:26. > :22:32.come home, and fought for their current shape, and I think it is a
:22:33. > :22:40.time to be very proud ` ` fought for their country. He was in the air
:22:41. > :22:45.force, captured in Singapore. Put in a prison camp. Be thankful you can
:22:46. > :22:49.stand with me, thinking of those who now cannot. At least we show they
:22:50. > :23:04.are not forgot. Remembering earlier to day.
:23:05. > :23:07.The City of Hull Youth Jazz Orchestra are preparing to perform
:23:08. > :23:13.at the Royal Albert Hall in London this week. The band will join 3,000
:23:14. > :23:15.young people from across the country who have demonstrated exceptional
:23:16. > :23:22.talent during Music for Youth's annual festival which has taken
:23:23. > :23:24.place over the spring and summer. We met the orchestra as they did some
:23:25. > :23:41.final rehearsals. Amy Cole reports. From this small venue in Hull, to
:23:42. > :23:44.the world's most famous stage, the Royal Albert Hall. Home to some of
:23:45. > :23:51.the greatest musicians, such as Nigel Kennedy, and a regular haunt
:23:52. > :23:54.of the BBC's Proms season. On Wednesday, The City of Hull Youth
:23:55. > :23:58.Jazz Orchestra will perform a piece of music that has been specially com
:23:59. > :24:02.posed for them. 17`year`old Becky Cooper is very enthusiastic. I think
:24:03. > :24:10.it is great. I love how it has been written just for our band as well.
:24:11. > :24:18.Nobody has come play. I think it is good. ` ` nobody else can play it.
:24:19. > :24:22.The ban's Jenny has been a long one. A one original festival in March,
:24:23. > :24:26.and there followed a national one in July. From that, they were handed a
:24:27. > :24:31.golden ticket to the great Hall. I think it is the biggest thing they
:24:32. > :24:36.have achieved. We have entered a few times over the years and got the
:24:37. > :24:41.National Festival, but it has been the final hurdle to play well enough
:24:42. > :24:48.to be invited to its. In terms of what we try and do, it is the
:24:49. > :24:53.biggest thing we can achieve. Daniel is lead trombone. On Wednesday, he
:24:54. > :25:00.will not only play a solo part, but it will be completely improvised.
:25:01. > :25:05.That is the moment for me when it is like, everything flashes before
:25:06. > :25:12.you. I have always ideas running through my head ready to, and play.
:25:13. > :25:19.In that moment, I will be thinking, let's just do it, let's just have
:25:20. > :25:26.some fun. All were musicians say they have worked really hard, and
:25:27. > :25:33.can't wait to give it their all. Fantastic. Another Hull success. I
:25:34. > :25:36.am sure the members of the orchestra will be tuned into night, so good
:25:37. > :25:41.luck and enjoy Wednesday. If you have a story you think we should
:25:42. > :25:46.know about and sent our cameras to, send an e`mail.
:25:47. > :25:51.Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines. Rescuers in
:25:52. > :25:54.the Philippines warn there are places in the disaster zone that
:25:55. > :26:01.they've yet to reach ` more than ten thousand are feared dead. A Hull
:26:02. > :26:03.charity that's saved hundreds of children from sex offenders is
:26:04. > :26:28.praised by police. We were talking about the bid for
:26:29. > :26:32.the City of Culture and I was chatting with the culture minister,
