Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight: A BBC | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
investigation reveals changes to housing benefit haven't freed up | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
larger homes and have left some in rent arrears. | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
Still in arrears. I go to the kitchen, and I'm struggling and | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
selling stuff. A controversial series about life on | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
benefits ` calls to stop another national network filming in Hull. | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
It's actually not just going to hear people's feelings. It's going to | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
cripple the whole area business`wise, and it's going to | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
make it worse. A call for more arts groups to join | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
in a 100 day cultural festival for Yorkshire. | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
And the obesity epidemic in dogs ` why too many treats are making our | :00:49. | :00:57. | |
pets too fat. And some very promising weather for | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
the weekend. Join me for the forecast in 15 minutes. | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
Good evening. When they were introduced a year | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
ago, changes to housing benefits were supposed to encourage people to | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
move to more suitable homes. But a BBC investigation shows the changes | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
have failed to achieve that in many parts of East Yorkshire and | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
Lincolnshire. Ministers said cutting benefits to families who had a spare | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
room would free up under occupied homes. But in South Kesteven | :01:28. | :01:37. | |
District Council in Lincolnshire, only twenty three households | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
actually relocated. That's just over two percent of those affected by the | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
benefit changes. In Hull, the figure is one hundred and sixty two | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
households, which is just over three per cent. But it has been more | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
successful in the East Riding. 204 households have moved out ` almost | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
seventeen percent. The national average is 6%. Jake Zuckerman has | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
been looking at the impact of the policy critics have dubbed "the | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
bedroom tax". The spare room subsidy, known to its | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
critics as the bedroom tax. A policy, says the government, | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
designed to move benefit claimants with more bedrooms than they need | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
into smaller accommodation more suited to their requirements. But | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
evidence suggests it's failing in that aim, and driving tennants into | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
arrears. Anne Lawton suffers from mental health problems. Changes to | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
the benefits system meant she had to downsize from a two` to a | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
one`bedroom flat. She was lucky enough to find somewhere to move to, | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
but in the meantime, she's been left hundreds of pounds in debt. I'm | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
still in arrears. I go to the soup kitchen, and I'm struggling, and | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
selling stuff. I did have stuff to sell, but I haven't really got stuff | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
to sell now. How am I going to pay back the rent? In North | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
Lincolnshire, 48% of those affected by the so`called bedroom tax are in | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
arrears, the highest rate in our region. In Lincoln, where the City | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
Council is subsidising those affected, that figure is just over | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
7%. In Hull, more than 20% are in arrears. In Hull, they've | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
refurbished more than 70 small flats to try and meet the demand for | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
one`bed accommodation. Been here two months, and it is so great to get a | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
one`bedroom place. It took a lot of stress of me. In North East | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
Lincolnshire, Shoreline Housing Association says its tenants now owe | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
?155,000 in total. We provide as much support with partners as we | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
can, but ultimately, the responsibility does all to be tenant | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
to pay, and regrettably in sick instances where the tenant can't or | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
won't pay, we have little option other than to take some form of | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
action to try to encourage them to pay. But the government rejects | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
accusations that the policy isn't working. If you are the taxpayer, | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
paying for people to be on housing benefits, many of those cannot have | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
spare bedrooms in their house, so how could they be paying for other | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
people do have that? So as I said, you have to look at this from the | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
full 360 degrees. Whatever the government's intentions, in East | :04:10. | :04:10. | |
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, thousands of people like Anne are | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
now in arrears, many with no idea how they're going to pay. | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
I'm joined by the Conservative MP for Beverley and Holderness Graham | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
Stuart, who's a supporter of the changes to housing benefit. Good | :04:22. | :04:31. | |
evening. Thank you for coming in. Do you accept the changes haven't | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
actually work the macro absolutely not. I found your piece remarkable, | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
and the introduction inaccurate. 6% of people in the first 11 months a | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
fact that have moved out. That is 30,000 homes which were being used | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
by people who didn't need the space. They are now being enjoyed by | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
families previously in overcrowded accommodation. Just in the first 11 | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
months. It is triumphant. It is also saving the taxpayer. It doesn't | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
sound it. Not when you listen to your piece, when the BBC lines of | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
this research. You should go and research the people in London, the | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
left`wing orientation of the corporation. It seems ever more | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
present. Go and ask hundreds and thousands of people in overcrowded | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
housing what they think. Ask the thousand families who are living in | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
a house that can meet their needs, rather than picking on and | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
suggesting as you did in your introduction, a falsehood, that it | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
wasn't leaning to people moving out. It is leading to that. It is | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
doing the right thing. It is saving money. I will ask people at home | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
what they think in the moment. Let's read an e`mail from Arthur. He says | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
the bedroom tax is ill thought out, unworkable and divisive policy. That | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
is an e`mail from a viewer. Well, I am not surprised if you keep | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
paddling the entire false those that have happened this evening. The | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
truth is, 30,000 people already are able to move out of overcrowded | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
housing into these homes. You had the ridiculous situation where the | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
taxpayer was subsidising rooms which people didn't need at a time when we | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
had a real shortage of housing. This policy is working. I am 100% behind | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
it, and I am just disappointed that the BBC both nationally and locally | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
should give such a totally biased view of the fact. 30,000 people | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
rehoused in the first ten months. It is a triumph. One more question. | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
Jake reports a lady has made the move but still owes rent and a | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
former home, and is now having to sell family heirlooms to get the | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
money together. What is your message to her? Well, I say again, if you | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
look at the amount of arrears, your viewers, having listened to your | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
introduction, would they think they have gone up or down? Do you know | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
what they did in the last quarter of last year? They went down, an | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
average of 4.1% to 3.9%. The whole picture painted by opponents of | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
this, the left leading media and the Labour Party, is false, and arrears | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
are down, and the number of people in homes who desperately need them | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
is up. It is working. We need to have confidence. I am going to stop | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
you there. Thank you for coming in. Some people have been debating this | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
on our Facebook page. Stephen tells us: "we moved last year because of | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
this bedroom tax after extensive adaptations for my disability. Now | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
all the work has to be done again." Let us know what you think. Have you | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
been affected by the changes? The details are on the screen. | :07:28. | :07:37. | |
In a moment: A bright future ` how the announcements made by Siemens | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
could bring more investment to the area. | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
There's anger in Hull that the city could soon be featured in a | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
television programme about life on benefits. Channel five says it's | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
chosen to feature Hull as one of several locations in the UK. There | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
are fears it could tarnish Hull's reputation so soon after a wave of | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
good news. Caroline Bilton reports. It's been a week where Hull has been | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
basking in good news. The city seems to be riding on a wave of | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
positivity. But for one television programme maker, it's not the | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
positive news they want to focus on. Channel five has chosen to feature | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
Hull as part of programme about life on benefits. | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
Scunthorpe has already been there. It featured in a Channel four | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
programme last year called Skint, which was criticised by some for its | :08:34. | :08:42. | |
negative portrayal of the area. It makes people look like scroungers. | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
At the Goodwin Community College in Hull this morning, where youngsters | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
are given training to help them back into employment, there was real | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
anger that the city could be featured for all the wrong reasons. | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
We just got the City of Culture, which was hard to get, and we won | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
it, and we were grateful. Now, they are going to make whole look like on | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
Benefits Street. Would You Come To Hull? No. It's Not Just Going To | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
Hurt People's Feelings, It Is Going To Cripple The Whole Area | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
Business`wise And Make It Worse. They Aren't Interested In Coming To | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
A City Like All That, Despite Decades Of Economic Woes, Has Pulled | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Itself Up Eyes Bootstraps. They Are Just Not Interested In That. They | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
Are Not Interested In Hearing About Us As A Community, Because It | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
Doesn't Sell Advertising. That Is Why They Are Making It. | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
It's Touched The Nerve Of Local Politicians Too. Can I Just Express | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
My Dismay That Channel Five seem to be proposing to do a further | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
documentary about people living in benefits in the north, and have | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
chosen Hull? I wonder if we could have a debate on responsible | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
documentary making. Channel five says they are "in the process of | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
filming a show in Hull on the topic of benefits and employment. It will | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
feature as one of several locations in the UK within a series." It's a | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
city that does have high levels of deprivation and unemployment, but at | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
the moment, Hull is in the spotlight for all the right reasons and many | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
people here want to keep it that way. | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
Caroline's in Hull this evening. We've had national TV programmes | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
featuring Scunthorpe and Grimsby recently. Why do Channel five want | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
to come to Hull? Yes, Hull does have a lot to smile | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
about but there is no getting away from the fact that Hull is the fifth | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
most deprived city in the UK and to a television producer in London this | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
would make Hull an ideal place to feature. And let's face it, they're | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
unlikely to come here to the marina, for example, and show Hull's good | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
bits. However, they've chosen the wrong time to do this. There's a | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
real pride in this city now that wasn't perhaps here ten years ago | :10:42. | :10:52. | |
and people want to protect that. For the first time, people in Hull now | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
have something to throw back at the critics. Will a programme of this | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
nature tarnish Hull's current reputation? Will it dent that pride? | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
I don't think so. Well, let's throw that one open. Another story we'd | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
like your thoughts on. Will any good come out of people in Hull taking | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
part or will it hinder the image? Do you think it will harm the city? Or | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
have these programmes been done already and no one will notice? If | :11:16. | :11:26. | |
you want to be in touch, the text number is 81333. | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
Police are trying to find the parents of a little boy who was | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
found wandering on a street in Lincoln. They say the boy is | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
believed to be about two or three and was wearing red slippers. | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
Officers think he may be Eastern European and they want anyone who | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
knows him to come forward. The Environment Agency has met with | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
organisations from East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire to discuss | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
what lessons can be learnt from recent flooding. More than a | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
thousand homes were damaged along the Humber during last December's | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
tidal surge. One resident from Burringham near Scunthorpe, who's | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
still living with her neighbour, hopes action will be taken. The | :11:56. | :12:03. | |
defence needs to be done along the river bank. I think that's the main | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
thing. I hope we have learned our lessons and will do the work that | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
needs to be done. It is a lot of heartbreak. | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
Organisers of a cultural festival marking a hundred days until the | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
start of the Tour De France say they need more groups to come forward to | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
be part of the comes to Yorkshire. Events are being held across the | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
county but just a handful are here in East Yorkshire, and only two were | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
granted any of the funding set aside for the project. Tonight, the | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
organisers have denied that East Yorkshire and Hull have been | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
overlooked, and they want more groups to come forward to be part of | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
the celebrations. A dance display to mark 100 days | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
since the Tour de France will come to the reason. This event last night | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
kicked up a festival running up to the start of the race, involving | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
arts and cultural events across the region. It will involve things like | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
this. This video artwork will be displayed at an art gallery in Hull | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
from me, with help from an ?8,000 grant from the festival organisers | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
Welcome To Yorkshire. I hope the effect of the wider festival will be | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
very beneficial, and that people while they are in this area, will be | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
attracted to come to Hull and see the wonderful museums and other | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
displays that we have here at the gallery. When the tour comes to | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
Yorkshire in July, none of the stages will be in the East of the | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
county. But organisers say the Hull region will benefit from thousands | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
of visitors bringing ?100 million to the local economy. This is the | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
brochure setting out events that will be part of the 100 days of art | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
and culture. In the opening, it says it will span the county, engaging | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
the widest possible audience. Flip through to the map in the middle, | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
and you can see that the 47 events, only three are listed as being in | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
East Yorkshire or in Hull. More are being added, but of those, only to | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
have been successful in getting any funding there were 28 applications, | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
including a performance of A Taste Of Honey, which was rejected. He | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
transforms into a show dog. This play is part of a festival in Hull, | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
also listed as one of the tour's cultural events. But the organisers | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
say they didn't even apply for funding, because they were made to | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
feel it was not worth it. We got the feeling that most of the funding for | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
the big projects would go to those in the leaves and Harrogate area, | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
and that East Yorkshire, while it might be a conduit for people from | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
Europe to that part of the world, it would not necessarily be a stop off | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
point for people going to enjoy the race. Welcome To Yorkshire says it | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
held road shows all across the region, inviting all types of | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
applications. It was always clear that there were different strands to | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
the festival, and that very clearly, it was not just about having events | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
happening where the root of the race is going, although there was one | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
specific strand for that. But everything else was about high | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
quality work, imagination, vision. The organisers are still one groups | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
from East Yorkshire to get involved, and more events will be added to the | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
festival. Still ahead tonight: Hull City say | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
their goalkeeper will miss the rest of the season after this collision | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
at West Ham. And why our unhealthy eating habits | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
could be making our pets too fat. We love to get your photos. | :15:29. | :15:42. | |
Tonight's was taken by Vic Barnes. It is Wootton in North Lincolnshire. | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
Thank you very much for that. We will have another picture on Monday. | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
Good evening. How are you? Very well. I understand your weather show | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
is one`year`old this weekend. Somebody in broadcasting said they | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
didn't think it would last many weeks. Me, actually. Me as well! We | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
have cloud spot is on this weekend, and you are a special guest, Peter. | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
I know, this is a downhill part of my career, appearing on the weather | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
show. Stevie Wonder and Bryan Adams, as well. What else do you want on a | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
weekend? Let's look at the next 24 hours. Very promising. British | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
summer Time starts on Sunday morning, and there will be some very | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
pleasant sunshine developing. Inland, it will become warm, chilly | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
along the coast. Drier air comes from the continent over the next 24 | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
hours. That will mean the weekend is looking very promising. It has not | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
been a bad day, actually, better than we thought across parts of | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
Lincolnshire. There has still been a keen easterly breeze. A lot of cloud | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
further north. That will come and go overnight. There might be a bit | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
patchy rain from the south`east for a time later. Clear spells | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
redeveloped, a bit of low cloud further north, misty nurse in places | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
where the lowest temperatures are down to six Celsius or 43 | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
Fahrenheit. The sun will rise in the morning at around 5:43am. Whole | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
Victoria Dock at four minutes past five in the morning. A grey starting | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
places. Patchy fog and mist will clear, turning Sunny quite quickly | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
across The Wash. Sunshine pushes northwards. By lunchtime or shortly | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
afterwards, much of our area will be bright, with good deal of sunshine. | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
Let's look at the top afternoon temperatures. A cool breeze along | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
the coast. Highs of just nine Celsius. Inland, 12 or 13. Further | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
west, 16 or possibly 17 inborn. That is 63 Fahrenheit. Sunday looks good | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
too. A grey starting places, the sun comes out, and temperatures in | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
western parts again are 15 or 16 degrees. Get your shorts out. That | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
is a kiss of death, if you mention that. Six o'clock on Monday on radio | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
Lincolnshire and six o'clock on Saturday. You're going head`to`head | :18:16. | :18:24. | |
with the man from the Cloud Appreciation Society. That is not a | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
joke, as well. Have a good weekend. One of the key figures behind | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
bringing the Siemens Green Port to Hull says it's just the beginning of | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
more investment and jobs. The energy company announced this week that it | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
was investing hundreds of millions of pounds in the Humber. | :18:40. | :18:40. | |
more investment and jobs. The energy company announced this week that And | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
there's now a huge sense of optimism for the future. Here's our Business | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
Correspondent Paul Murphy. It has been a momentous week in | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
Hull. The ?310 million investment by Siemens will mean more than 1000 | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
wind turbine jobs are created into factories on the Humber. And it is | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
claimed that is only the beginning. Optimism breeds success, so I think | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
the scale in terms of the offshore wind side of things will be very | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
big, and we haven't seen what will come from that. I am confident the | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
announcements we have had today will be followed by others in the future | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
which will support that, but also putting Hull very truly on the map | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
in respect of being a city where things are happening. This was a | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
last big industry here, employing thousands. It collapsed after | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
political argument over fishing grounds. The trawlers used to come | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
in there. For former trawler men like Ken, news a big investment lift | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
his spirits. It is brilliant news. This town is going to be buzzing | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
again, like it was in the 60s, 70s and 80s, with the fishing industry. | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
This could be as big as that, if not bigger. In the wake of the old | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
maritime industry here, a new one is emerging. Siemens is, according to | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
one local MP, the biggest fish that Hull has ever landed. And the | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
challenge now for communities all around the Humber is to make the | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
most of the hand they have been dealt. We should never lose sight of | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
the importance of the Humber. It has always been very successful. The | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
decline of the fishing fleet and the industry hit Hull very hard, but we | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
have actually always been very successful in maximising our key | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
asset, which is the Humber. The first judge could be advertised | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
soon. Construction work on the new factories will begin within months. | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
The end of a very successful week for the Humber area. | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
And there'll be an in`depth look at Siemens coming to the Humber on this | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
weekend's Sunday Politics. That's from 11:15 on BBC One. | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
The RAF's "Dambuster" squadron, which used to be based in | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
Lincolnshire, has been disbanded as its Tornado aircraft are withdrawn | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
from service. A special ceremony took place today at the famous 617 | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
Squadron's most recent base, Lossiemouth in Scotland. It'll be | :21:05. | :21:15. | |
reformed in 2016 at its new location at RAF Marham in Norfolk. | :21:16. | :21:24. | |
A few minutes ago, I told you about a little boy who had been found | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
wandering in the streets of LinkedIn. The police have just told | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
us that his father has contacted them, and they have now been | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
reunited. Now, it is a rare but serious | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
injury, and a collision with an opponent on Wednesday night has left | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
Hull City's goalkeeper in hospital for at least another week. Alan | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
McGregor suffered kidney damage during the game against West Ham | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
United and will probably miss the rest of the season including the FA | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
Cup semifinal at Wembley. More from our sports reporter Simon Clark. | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
This was the incident which robbed Hull City of Allan McGregor for the | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
rest of this campaign. The impact bought West Ham a penalty and | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
McGregor a red card, but it's the impact on his health that most | :22:03. | :22:11. | |
concerns manager Steve Bruce. I went to see him yesterday in the high | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
dependency unit in London in hospital. He is in a lot of pain, | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
and we obviously hope he is going to come through it. We expect him to be | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
in hospital for the best part of the week. The lads send him their best | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
wishes, and hope him a speedy recovery, but it does not sound good | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
for him. But equally, I think if the referee had seen the handball | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
before, I don't big it would have got to that stage. The Tigers could | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
make changes looking for the magic formula that will give them their | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
10th win following win number nine at home to West Bromwich last week. | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
Former player Kevin Kilburn and things despite this setback, the | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
Tigers are separate vintage year. Steve Bruce knows exactly what is | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
needed to stay in the league. He has the live area size of various | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
clubs. I think this will be his defining moment, especially as a | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
Hull manager. It will be a defining moment when he finally achieves | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
safety. Today is the last day for its season`ticket holders to vote on | :23:18. | :23:25. | |
proposals for a name change. They will continue this campaign without | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
their rock at the back, but in Stephen Harper, they have a more | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
than capable deputy as they had for Stoke City looking for something to | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
secure their Premier league future. BBC Radio Humberside will have full | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
commentary of Hull City's trip to Stoke City tomorrow, you will be | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
able to hear that on their FM frequency. Build`up starts at 1:30. | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
Scunthorpe United's match at home to Wycombe Wanderers will be on their | :23:47. | :23:47. | |
AM from 3:00. Wycombe Wanderers will be on their | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
AM from And Grimsby Town's trip to Hereford United will be on digital | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
and online. On BBC Radio Lincolnshire, there will be full | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
commentary of Lincoln City's game at Tamworth with build up from two. | :23:59. | :24:00. | |
Lincolnshire, there will be full commentary of Lincoln If you're a | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
rugby league fan, the build up to Hull FC's home game against Salford | :24:04. | :24:04. | |
is on BBC Radio Humberside now. And on Sunday, there will be | :24:05. | :24:14. | |
commentary of Hull Kingston Rovers' home match against Wakefield. Enjoy | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
your football and rugby league. It seems dogs are becoming fat | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
because of our unhealthy eating habits. More than half of pet owners | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
in East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire admit to feeding their dogs high fat | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
treats. A national charity says it's leading to an obesity epidemic. | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
Leanne Brown has been to meet one dog on a diet. | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
It's weigh`in day for Zed the border collie, who's got a bit of a sweet | :24:40. | :24:50. | |
tooth. He weighs 45.8 kilograms today. We used to have a neighbour | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
that used to sit out in the garden with a cup of tea and biscuits and | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
cakes and vest that and the other, and he used to go and demolish them. | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
Zed weighs around seven stone ` that's twice the average border | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
collie. But he's not alone. Dogs across the country are being fed | :25:08. | :25:09. | |
left over take`aways, biscuits, chips and even booze. 51% of owners | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
in Yorkshire and the Humber give their dogs fatty treats. In the East | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
Midlands, it's 54%. But Scotland tops the lardy league table, with | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
72% feeding their dogs unhealthy snacks. The pet charity PDSA says | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
owners simply don't realise they are causing any harm. A lot of pet | :25:29. | :25:40. | |
owners think they are making their pets happy by giving them their | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
food. What they don't seem to realise is, the health problems it | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
can have. It can cause diabetes, it can cause arthritis, and heart | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
disease. They are actually killing their pets with kindness by giving | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
them these extra foods. The charity have today launched this video to | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
get the message across. And to show what their pet fit club has done for | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
Ruby the Jack Russell. But it's going to be a difficult task for | :26:15. | :26:23. | |
Chris and Zed. Because of my disability, I'm becoming more and | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
more it mobilised. So as much as I would like to, I can't go out as | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
much. He's hoping chasing a ball will get rid of some of the bulge. | :26:30. | :26:36. | |
The time is five minutes to seven. Let's get a recap of the national | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
and regional headlines. There's a new surge area for the | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
missing Malaysians light, and for the first time, spotter planes | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
flying debris. A BBC investigation reveals changes to housing benefit | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
haven't freed up larger homes, and that there are some in rent | :26:54. | :26:55. | |
arrears. A grey starting places, spells of | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
sunshine by afternoon. Temperatures tomorrow getting up to around 16 | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
Celsius, or 61 Fahrenheit. We were discussing housing benefit | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
there. Jenny says, my flat is too small for my girls and me, but I | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
would never want to force someone out of their home and face financial | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
hardship. I live on my own in a two`bedroom house. Not moving | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
because my grandkids might want to come and stay. Peter, the MP, needs | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
to get into the real world. There are many people who would like to | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
move, but there aren't enough suitable houses for them. I think | :27:31. | :27:37. | |
arrears accrued after applying to downsize and should be scrapped. | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
After all, it is not the tenant's fault there is nowhere to move to. | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
Thank you for watching. Have a good weekend. I will see one | :27:45. | :27:46. | |
Monday. Good night. | :27:47. | :27:48. |
