:00:00. > :00:08.That is all the sport, back to you. That is it from us,
:00:09. > :00:13.Good evening. Emergency services are continuing to tackle a massive fire
:00:14. > :00:23.near Hull, which broke out early this afternoon. It started about one
:00:24. > :00:28.o'clock at the recycling plant at an industrial plant insulting. Huge
:00:29. > :00:36.plumes of black smoke were visible for miles around. It came in the
:00:37. > :00:41.middle of a strike by fire services. Stand`by crews were deployed. No one
:00:42. > :00:45.was in sight at the time of the fire starting and there have been no
:00:46. > :00:49.reports of injuries. But the main road was closed in both directions
:00:50. > :00:55.and those in the surrounding areas were told to keep the doors and
:00:56. > :01:00.windows shut as the smoke spreads. The fire is now under control.
:01:01. > :01:03.And we will bring you all the very latest on Look North later tonight,
:01:04. > :01:06.at10.20pm. Every year, hundreds of tonnes of
:01:07. > :01:10.food that supermarkets do not want goes to waste, as farmers plough
:01:11. > :01:12.perfectly good crops back into the ground. But this weekend, volunteers
:01:13. > :01:15.have been putting some of Lincolnshire's unwanted vegetables
:01:16. > :01:20.to good use, harvesting them to go to local food banks.
:01:21. > :01:23.In a field near Coningsby, in Lincolnshire, volunteers carry out
:01:24. > :01:27.the modern version of an ancient practice known as gleaning.
:01:28. > :01:31.In Biblical times, farmers were encouraged to allow the poor to take
:01:32. > :01:34.what was left after crops had been harvested. Here, modern gleaners
:01:35. > :01:46.pick unwanted leeks that will be distributed to those struggling to
:01:47. > :01:51.afford to eat. Last year, we had 20 days across the country. We saved 48
:01:52. > :01:56.tonnes of projects which went straight to people living in
:01:57. > :01:59.poverty, either through homeless shelters, emergency accommodation or
:02:00. > :02:02.food banks. For farmer Tim Casey, it is a great
:02:03. > :02:09.way to avoid wasting good food, while helping the community.
:02:10. > :02:14.Ideally, we would not have the waste in the first place, but we have to
:02:15. > :02:16.make use of what we have. So it is very good at it is being put to good
:02:17. > :02:24.use. Volunteers have given up their time
:02:25. > :02:28.to come and help. It is a great way to spend a Saturday. It is great to
:02:29. > :02:35.come out here and do something which helps other people. People often
:02:36. > :02:39.associate poverty and malnutrition with underdeveloped countries, but
:02:40. > :02:43.we do not have to go very far into our neighbourhoods and their
:02:44. > :02:47.families and children who in need. Between them, the gleaners expect to
:02:48. > :02:51.save around a tonne of produce today which otherwise would have gone to
:02:52. > :02:53.waste. It is a small start, but the charity hopes to encourage more
:02:54. > :02:57.farmers and volunteers to get involved.
:02:58. > :03:00.Businesses in a Lincolnshire town say they have suffered financially
:03:01. > :03:04.because of the cancellation of an historic flower parade. An event
:03:05. > :03:07.called Tulip Mania has been held in Spalding this weekend, in place of
:03:08. > :03:12.the annual Flower Parade, which ended last year, after half a
:03:13. > :03:15.century. Some hotels say they have seen a drop off in bookings because
:03:16. > :03:18.of its cancellation, but organisers of this weekend's event say they
:03:19. > :03:28.hope it will go some way towards plugging the gap. Yesterday,
:03:29. > :03:36.probably around 2000 people came along. They came to see the gardens
:03:37. > :03:40.here. Today, there is more people than that. Good weather means people
:03:41. > :03:44.are in a good mood and we hope they have enjoyed seeing what we do.
:03:45. > :03:47.World War Two veterans from Hull are visiting the Netherlands to receive
:03:48. > :03:50.a special torch which commemorates the country's liberation. 100,000
:03:51. > :03:53.people took to the streets last year to thank the veterans, who helped
:03:54. > :03:56.free Holland from German occupation almost 70 years ago. Tonight, the
:03:57. > :04:01.veterans will receive a torch, lit by the Fire of Liberation, which
:04:02. > :04:04.they will bring back to Hull. The Football now and Grimsby Town's
:04:05. > :04:07.dreams of promotion to League Two are over, after they lost 3`1 at
:04:08. > :04:13.Gateshead in the play`off semifinals.
:04:14. > :04:19.The Mariners were reduced to ten men at 1`0 down, when Scott Neilson was
:04:20. > :04:22.sent off, but they bounced back with Craig Disley's goal. But after
:04:23. > :04:26.having another man sent off, they went on to concede two more, losing
:04:27. > :04:28.4`2 on aggregate. Manager of newly`promoted Scunthorpe
:04:29. > :04:33.United, Russ Wilcox, says he wants to keep their forward momentum going
:04:34. > :04:36.next season. The Iron drew 2`2 with York in their last game of the
:04:37. > :04:40.season at Glanford Park yesterday. They went one up with a Paddy Madden
:04:41. > :04:44.header in the first half, before Terry Hawkridge's low strike doubled
:04:45. > :04:48.their lead. York battled back to earn a draw, but that did not dampen
:04:49. > :04:52.the promotion celebrations after the final whistle.
:04:53. > :04:58.Rugby League now and it was a bad afternoon for our teams. Hull KR
:04:59. > :05:02.lost 29`34 to Widnes Vikings and Hull FC lost 23`16 to Wakefield.
:05:03. > :05:08.Time for the weather now, with Keeley Donovan.
:05:09. > :05:19.Good evening. Some fine weather to come tomorrow. At the moment, it has
:05:20. > :05:23.been rather cloudy, but there will be breaks in that cloud through this
:05:24. > :05:29.evening and overnight. It will not be a cold night. Tomorrow, the best
:05:30. > :05:37.of the weather in the morning, when we got most of the sunshine.
:05:38. > :05:42.Workload will spill from the West during the afternoon. But it should
:05:43. > :05:49.stay largely dry. The temperature doing well, getting up to around 17
:05:50. > :05:54.or 18 Celsius. A mixture of sunshine and showers to come during the week.
:05:55. > :05:58.And that is all from us for now, but we will be back later tonight. That
:05:59. > :06:09.is just after quarter past ten. Bye for now.
:06:10. > :06:15.Good evening. Today we have had the sunniest skies in the South whereas
:06:16. > :06:20.in the north it has been quite cloudy. Tomorrow, we switch things
:06:21. > :06:25.around. In the east we will have warm, hazy sunshine. In the west we
:06:26. > :06:29.will have the biggest cloud. Tonight, there will be some rain
:06:30. > :06:33.across parts of Scotland. The rain easing across Northern Ireland. For
:06:34. > :06:37.many will be a dry night. For many across the south it will be cold.
:06:38. > :06:46.Maybe not quite as cold as last night. We should start with quite a
:06:47. > :06:50.bit of sunshine across central and eastern areas. The sunshine will
:06:51. > :06:55.turn quite hazy of the cloud spills in from the west. The wind is also
:06:56. > :07:00.starting to pick up and we will see rain. For Northern Ireland, the rain
:07:01. > :07:01.spreading across a good part
