things will get colder and sweet, find out more on | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The headlines tonight. Lincolnshire County Council is told | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
to spend less on translation services despite its rising migrant | :00:10. | :00:19. | |
population. We are spending this money on a time when they are | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
cutting front line services and staff. The premature twins from | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Grimsby saved by a hospital ward on wheels. The toasts for Burns Night | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
that require help from down south. The agricultural self portraits | :00:32. | :00:43. | |
making farmers famous. And unsettled weekend on the way. | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
The latest in 15 minutes. The man in charge of local | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
authorities says councils should stop wasting money on translating | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
documents and leaflets into foreign languages. The Communities Secretary | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
` Eric Pickles ` says people should be encouraged to learn English | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
instead. More than ?150 thousand will be spent on translation | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
services in Lincolnshire this year. But the County Council says it can't | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
reduce that cost because of the growing migrant population. More | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
from our Political Editor Tim Iredale. | :01:19. | :01:28. | |
English is not the first line which for many residents living in Boston. | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
Recent years have seen thousands of people arrive from Eastern Europe. | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
This man teaches English to migrants from Lithuania. She says most people | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
want to learn, but sometimes they need help. More and more people come | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
to the UK, and they need some support, and it's very important. | :01:53. | :02:04. | |
Especially in hospitals, and emergency matters. When children | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
come to school and they don't know where word. Eric Pickles has accused | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
councils of wasting money on translating leaflets and documents | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
into foreign languages. He says migrants should be encouraged to | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
speak English. It's not just councils which are trying to | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
overcome the language barrier. The NHS, police and courts are all | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
having to cope with the substantial cost of translation. We are spending | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
this money whilst we are cutting front line services and staff. We | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
are spending money on translation services ` is just wrong. The | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
government estimates the cost... Cost of translation is ?140 million | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
a year. Local authorities spend ?20 billion annually. | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
The government says you should be cutting the cost of translation. Is | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
that possible? We are lean and mean as it is. We look to every area to | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
make savings, but there are some areas, particularly in children's | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
social care, where we need to make sure that people are understanding | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
what's happening. The courts insist that we provide an interpreter, and | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
have to translate documents. There is no negotiation on that. With town | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
hall budgets under pressure, the cost of providing translation | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
services has become another battle in the war of words between council | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
chiefs and the government. Rita Chadha is the director of the | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
Refugee and Migrant Forum for East London. I spoke to her earlier and | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
started by asking if the money spent on translation services was money | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
well spent. Absolutely. Do not invest in translation is a false | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
economy. It's vital to make sure that our communities function | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
properly. How can we justify it? We have to, because its peoples lives | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
at stake. They need translation services at police stations, in | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
social services, with the NHS. But people watching would say that if | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
they choose to come to this country it should be their responsibility ` | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
not taxpayers. We do have rules coming in from outside the EU. | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
People do have to have a level of English before they gain entry. | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
Inflation services will probably diminish in the future, but we're | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
not there yet. Eric Pickles once less spent on this. Is this a | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
sensible move, or is it making it harder for migrants to integrate? | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
The arguments that if you take away translation, evil but all of them | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
are automatically speak English `` will automatically speak English is | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
a false economy. If the translation is not there, it will force people | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
to learn quicker, won't it? Not necessarily. It might cause them to | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
become even more insular. Is it right that these services are | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
funded, when other services by local councils are being cut? All services | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
are under threat. That's a problem for local authorities across the | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
country. The issue is due not invest in translation means that people | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
could end up in a crisis situation. That result in them going back to a | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
knee or social services time and time again. It's a economy. `` A | :05:48. | :05:58. | |
or social services. Should councils have to cut the amount they spend on | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
translating documents into foreign languages? Will doing so help people | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
learn English? Or is it making it harder for communities to get access | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
to services? And there will be more on the cost of translators on this | :06:12. | :06:29. | |
weekend's Sunday Politics. That's at eleven o'clock on BBC One. | :06:30. | :06:50. | |
In a moment on Look North: The parents of seriously ill twins from | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
North East Lincolnshire have thanked the doctors and nurses that | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
transferred their premature girls from hospital in Grimsby to a | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
specialist unit in Sheffield. The Walden family said they couldn't | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
have managed without the help of Embrace ` a Yorkshire charity ` | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
which moves seriously ill children hundreds of miles for treatment. The | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
team uses mobile intensive care units on the road, in planes and | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
helicopters. Crispin Rolfe reports. Twin babies with twin problems. | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
Amelia and Arrianna were born ten weeks early at Grimsby's Diana, | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
Princess of Wales Hospital. But within days Amelia ` incubator and | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
all ` was being transferred to experts in Sheffield by a specialist | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
child ambulance. The reason ` a blocked bowel preventing her from | :07:33. | :07:42. | |
going to the loo. We didn't know anything, so my head was all over | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
the place. I felt so upset. I couldn't do anything but cry. Her | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
tummy was swollen, and she wasn't tolerating her feeds. But for mum | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
and dad, almost instant relief in front of BBC cameras when medical | :08:02. | :08:12. | |
tests removed the blockage. The diet appears to be on blocking her bowel. | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
Worry over for Amelia, but not for her twin. She is now diagnosed with | :08:20. | :08:28. | |
the same problem. The Yorkshire charity provided ambulance carried | :08:29. | :08:29. | |
designed especially to protect vulnerable babies. This time, her | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
problem requires surgery. It came as a shock when they said that it was | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
more complicated this time. That's made it even worse. This time, days | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
spent in Sheffield became months of operations. We did manage to join | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
the twins together. Eight months on, and the twins are both home and | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
healthy. The family prays doctors and ambulances for their care. I'm | :09:05. | :09:14. | |
happy to see a happy ending. She is home and doing really well. | :09:15. | :09:22. | |
And there will be more on the twins and their story on Children's | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
Emergency Rescue on BBC Two on Tuesday night at eight. | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
The inquest into the death of a red arrows pilot has heard that the | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
ejection seat which went off while his plane was on the ground was 35 | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
years old. The man leading the military inquiry into the death of | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham was cross examined for a second day. | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
Commander Daniel Stembridge told the inquest the seat had been in service | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
since 1976 Railings have been put up alongside the River Hull in memory | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
of a man who it's thought fell into the water and died. Staff from the | :09:53. | :10:00. | |
Yorkshire Ambulance Service have announced they will hold two strikes | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
next month. Members of the Unite Trade Union says proposed changes to | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
paramedic shifts could see them going more than ten hours without a | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
meal break. But ambulance managers believe the new rotas will improve | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
the current rules and reduce shift over`runs. | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
Some sports fans in Hull say having two stadiums in the city named after | :10:16. | :10:38. | |
the same company will be confusing. Hull KR have renamed Craven Park as | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
the KC Lightstream Stadium. The communications company already | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
sponsors the city's other major arena ` the KC Stadium. Sarah Walton | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
is in the city for us tonight ` there is already some confusion over | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
this amongst fans? Well the name change is still | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
sinking in. The sign here's still say Craven Park but it'll soon | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
change. This is the new name ` Lightsream is a news superfast | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
broadband being rolled out across Hull, and this brings new | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
sponsorship to Hull KR But we are just about five miles away from | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
where their biggest rivals, Hull FC play at The KC Stadium. So a little | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
earlier I asked the chief executive if that might cause some confusion. | :11:19. | :11:37. | |
I don't think the name matters. We are the east of the city, and the KC | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
Stadium is that the west side. I don't think there is any clash. It's | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
great that they've got the name on the East and on the West. Not an | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
issue. The club was involved in helping to choose the new name. A | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
lot of the street signs should be changed at some point. We've been | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
out on the streets to ask people what they think. | :12:07. | :12:17. | |
I'm with Rovers. What's the point of changing it, just who they can feel | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
better about themselves? You get a bit confused and don't know where to | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
go. It might cause a bit of opposition. Go for it. If it's going | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
to create jobs, give people opportunities to take part in sports | :12:35. | :12:42. | |
and achieve things. Go for it. It's interesting to note that the stadium | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
has been connected to this superfast broadband it's been named after. Any | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
houses over there can't get it ` because the area around the stadium | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
hasn't been connected yet! They are working on a programme to roll it | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
out to more part of the city. What do you think of this one? Will | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
having two KC stadiums be confusing? Will you even call it by it's new | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
name ` or will it always be Craven Park? Do you think the naming of | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
historic stadiums should be up for sale at all? | :13:11. | :13:21. | |
Well, there is rugby league commentary this weekend ` but at the | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
city's other KC Stadium. Hull FC and Rovers meet in a | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
pre`season friendly. Coverage starts at 1.30 on Sunday. | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
And we'll be looking ahead to Hull City's FA Cup match later in the | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
programme. Still ahead tonight: Why the Scots | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
can't celebrate Burns night without a helping hand from this region. The | :13:43. | :13:51. | |
farmers whose snapshots are making them internet stars. | :13:52. | :14:00. | |
The river and the Stump in Boston now St Botolphs footbridge has been | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
removed ready for the new bridge to go in. | :14:05. | :14:18. | |
Cynthia asks if Peter will play bingo with me! I think he's a real | :14:19. | :14:34. | |
dish. There were too warm fronts which | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
came in from the West, which brought in some rain. Let's have a look at | :14:38. | :14:48. | |
the weather. Tonight: Cloudy with rain spreading from the west. | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
Minimum temperature 4C. Moderate southerly wind. Tomorrow: A grey, | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
damp start, brightening up with sunny spells developing through the | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
morning, but with scattered squally showers likely especially later. | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
Maximum temperature 9C. Freshening southwest wind. Sunday: Bright | :14:59. | :14:59. | |
start. Wind and rain later. Next high water time is in | :15:00. | :15:46. | |
Bridlington at ten o'clock this evening. A slow start to Saturday, | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
with mist and drizzle. It should brighten up through the morning, | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
with sunny spells coming through. Through the afternoon, a risk of | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
showers. They could be quite heavy, with hail and thunder. Top | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
temperatures around nine. Let's look at those afternoon temperatures. A | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
little above average for this time of year, but there will be a fresh | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
wind. Those showers are clear by tomorrow evening. Sunday gets off to | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
a dry start. Heavy rain and strong winds will sweep in from the morning | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
will stop early next week, it is unsettled and quite showery. What | :16:28. | :16:39. | |
about bingo with Cynthia? You won't get a warm fronts from her! | :16:40. | :16:48. | |
Tomorrow, Scots from around the world will pay tribute to the | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
national poet Robert Burns. Drinkers might like to toast farmers here, | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
you are playing a major role in supplying the whiskey industry. Much | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
of the malt whiskey distilled in Scotland that its life in the fields | :17:04. | :17:16. | |
of east Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Late summer, and the Lincolnshire | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
harvest is almost over... But locally grown barley is into | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
more than beer and animal feed, it's ending up here in Scottish | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
Distilleries. Mark Ireland grows barley especially for malt whisky. | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
The whiskey producers don't want nitrogen content in excess of | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
1.65%. Anything for beer and lager can go up to 1.85%. We have | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
segregated some of the Bali across the yard, so we know which Lott will | :17:41. | :17:51. | |
go to which particular destination. `` segregated the Bali. | :17:52. | :18:01. | |
Mark's farm near Sleaford is part of a co`operative that sends barley to | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
Bridlington for malting. Only the best barley makes the grade to be | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
malted here. Bali has characteristics which is the | :18:10. | :18:23. | |
harvesters are looking for. Barley There's going to be a 20% increase | :18:24. | :18:35. | |
in that requirement in the next five years here in the kiln, it's | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
incredibly humid, as the moisture from the germinated Wali is cooked | :18:40. | :18:59. | |
away. The Scottish whiskey production is | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
so large that we must meet the demands for the barley one. It is an | :19:06. | :19:21. | |
expanding markets. A 20% growth is expected in the next | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
five years and it's a chance for farmers in East Yorkshire and | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
Lincolnshire to turn this into this even if they have to wait a decade | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
ot two to enjoy the fruits of their labours. | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
Yesterday, we talked about schools in Hull and North Lincolnshire that | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
were amongst the worst in the country according to new league | :19:40. | :20:19. | |
tables. Big response on this one. The Essex club are led by Phil Brown | :20:20. | :20:27. | |
who took Hull into the Premier League during the two years he was | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
in charge at the KC Stadium. Our sports reporter Simon Clark has | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
been looking at the impact he has had at his new club. | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
He was a man who celebrated success. And manager who would publicly | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
chastise his players. This was a man who could croon with the best of | :20:46. | :20:56. | |
them. This is former Hull City manager Phil Brown. He is now the | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
manager of Southend United, charged with plotting the downfall of the | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
Tigers in the FA Cup fourth round. It's a different manager. He's the | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
only player that is left here that I was with. It's completely different | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
now. We are taking on the Premier League opposition, and we will | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
hopefully put our best foot forward. He's a cult hero here at Hull. | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
Ladies of a certain age swoon at his feet. Has that cold followed him | :21:34. | :21:42. | |
here to Southend? `` has that cult followed him. This is how he finds | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
the present`day Mr Brown. Hello and welcome to BBC News. He's brought | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
players that like to hit the ball on the deck. The fans have engaged with | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
him will stop Southend are playing very successfully. They are probably | :22:00. | :22:07. | |
tied in the league to at the moment. People will be dubious at first, but | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
they have really turned around. He seems to have had some very early | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
this summer success. He certainly turned the team around. He really | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
has. Will Phil Brown find a way to bridge the gap between East and | :22:24. | :22:31. | |
Hull? Meanwhile, the Tigers have recalled | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
Jack Hobbs from his season long loan at Nottingham Forest. The defender | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
had been about to sign a permanent deal with the Championship club, but | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
he's been brought back to Hull after an injury to James Chester. He's not | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
available for the FA Cup match with Southend. And BBC Radio Humberside | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
will have full commentary of that game on FM and online. Coverage | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
starts in Saturday Sport from half past one. | :22:52. | :22:53. | |
Scunthorpe's trip to Dagenham Redbridge will be on AM. | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
Kick off is at three. And there's commentary of Grimsby Town's trip to | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
Wrexham on digital and on the website. BBC Radio Lincolnshire will | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
be at Lincoln City's home match with Woking. Coverage starts at two. | :23:05. | :23:20. | |
. HMS Grimsby has docked this morning in its adopted town for the | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
first time in two years. Senior officers say it's vital that the | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
minesweeper maintains the links that it has made with the port. It will | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
be open to the public during its visit. Grimsby in particular, | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
because of the maritime connection, it really understands and welcomes | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
the ship. Any time we are at home it's great, and Grimsby in | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
particular understands the importance of maritime trade. And | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
what's the Royal Navy means for the UK. | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
It's a craze that's been sweeping the celebrity world ` famous people | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
taking pictures of themselves on their mobile phone. Even the word | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
selfie is now in the Oxford English Dictionary. But it's not just | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
celebrities. Farmers in our area have been joining in. Phillip Norton | :24:01. | :24:15. | |
explains. It's been touted as the greatest | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
photographic trend of our time. Everyone from Barack Obama and David | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
Cameron, to Pope Francis. All taking selfie is. It was the words of the | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
year, last year. But selfie is so 2014. Or farmers, it's all about the | :24:33. | :24:46. | |
felfie. It's just farmers showing themselves | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
with their livestock. Chickens, pigs, cows. It has become really | :24:53. | :25:01. | |
popular. Last year, use of the word was | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
around 17%. It was only a matter of time before it evolved. This was the | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
winner of the first farmer selfie competition. It makes you realise | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
that there are people out there who are struggling, the same as you. | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
Having a hard day, or once during up. Rachel admits that there is a | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
degree of one`upmanship, as to what you get in the background. They are | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
uniting the farming world. Quite a few where competing as to who could | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
get photographs in front of the latest model of whatever will stop | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
with the livestock people, it's just too can get the biggest case of | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
their cow! Who would have thought that with the rise of mobile | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
technology, new words with the invented, and farmers across | :25:54. | :26:06. | |
Yorkshire would be united. I've just done my first selfie! It's | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
not a pretty sight. Let's get a recap of the national | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
and regional headlines The Conservatives claim take home pay | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
has risen faster than inflation in the last year ` Labour accuse them | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
of fiddling the figures. The Government has calls on Lincolnshire | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
County Council to spend less on translation services despite its | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
growing migrant population. Tomorrow: A grey, damp start, | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
brightening up with sunny spells developing through the morning, but | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
with scattered squally showers likely especially later. Maximum | :26:33. | :26:42. | |
temperature 9C. A big response on the subject of translation. | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
Colin says, where I live in Spain, no translation is provided by local | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
governments. If you can't speak Spanish, you pay for your own | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
translators. When we go abroad, there are | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
translation services everywhere. I don't see the problem will stop they | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
should not be allowed in the country if they don't understand the | :27:07. | :27:15. | |
language. It is a sorry state of affairs that allows councils to | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
spend our taxes on migrant translators, while we Brits are | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
constantly under the threat of library closures. To spend that | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
amount of money on translation services is an absolute disgrace. A | :27:29. | :27:38. | |
very big response on that story. Thank you for watching. Have a | :27:39. | :27:39. | |
peaceful weekend. | :27:40. | :27:45. |
