That is all the sport, back to you. That is it from us, | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Good evening. Emergency services are continuing to tackle a massive fire | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
near Hull, which broke out early this afternoon. It started about one | :00:14. | :00:23. | |
o'clock at the recycling plant at an industrial plant insulting. Huge | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
plumes of black smoke were visible for miles around. It came in the | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
middle of a strike by fire services. Stand`by crews were deployed. No one | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
was in sight at the time of the fire starting and there have been no | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
reports of injuries. But the main road was closed in both directions | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
and those in the surrounding areas were told to keep the doors and | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
windows shut as the smoke spreads. The fire is now under control. | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
And we will bring you all the very latest on Look North later tonight, | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
at10.20pm. Every year, hundreds of tonnes of | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
food that supermarkets do not want goes to waste, as farmers plough | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
perfectly good crops back into the ground. But this weekend, volunteers | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
have been putting some of Lincolnshire's unwanted vegetables | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
to good use, harvesting them to go to local food banks. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
In a field near Coningsby, in Lincolnshire, volunteers carry out | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
the modern version of an ancient practice known as gleaning. | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
In Biblical times, farmers were encouraged to allow the poor to take | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
what was left after crops had been harvested. Here, modern gleaners | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
pick unwanted leeks that will be distributed to those struggling to | :01:35. | :01:46. | |
afford to eat. Last year, we had 20 days across the country. We saved 48 | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
tonnes of projects which went straight to people living in | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
poverty, either through homeless shelters, emergency accommodation or | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
food banks. For farmer Tim Casey, it is a great | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
way to avoid wasting good food, while helping the community. | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
Ideally, we would not have the waste in the first place, but we have to | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
make use of what we have. So it is very good at it is being put to good | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
use. Volunteers have given up their time | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
to come and help. It is a great way to spend a Saturday. It is great to | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
come out here and do something which helps other people. People often | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
associate poverty and malnutrition with underdeveloped countries, but | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
we do not have to go very far into our neighbourhoods and their | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
families and children who in need. Between them, the gleaners expect to | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
save around a tonne of produce today which otherwise would have gone to | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
waste. It is a small start, but the charity hopes to encourage more | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
farmers and volunteers to get involved. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
Businesses in a Lincolnshire town say they have suffered financially | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
because of the cancellation of an historic flower parade. An event | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
called Tulip Mania has been held in Spalding this weekend, in place of | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
the annual Flower Parade, which ended last year, after half a | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
century. Some hotels say they have seen a drop off in bookings because | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
of its cancellation, but organisers of this weekend's event say they | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
hope it will go some way towards plugging the gap. Yesterday, | :03:19. | :03:28. | |
probably around 2000 people came along. They came to see the gardens | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
here. Today, there is more people than that. Good weather means people | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
are in a good mood and we hope they have enjoyed seeing what we do. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
World War Two veterans from Hull are visiting the Netherlands to receive | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
a special torch which commemorates the country's liberation. 100,000 | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
people took to the streets last year to thank the veterans, who helped | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
free Holland from German occupation almost 70 years ago. Tonight, the | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
veterans will receive a torch, lit by the Fire of Liberation, which | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
they will bring back to Hull. The Football now and Grimsby Town's | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
dreams of promotion to League Two are over, after they lost 3`1 at | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
Gateshead in the play`off semifinals. | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
The Mariners were reduced to ten men at 1`0 down, when Scott Neilson was | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
sent off, but they bounced back with Craig Disley's goal. But after | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
having another man sent off, they went on to concede two more, losing | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
4`2 on aggregate. Manager of newly`promoted Scunthorpe | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
United, Russ Wilcox, says he wants to keep their forward momentum going | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
next season. The Iron drew 2`2 with York in their last game of the | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
season at Glanford Park yesterday. They went one up with a Paddy Madden | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
header in the first half, before Terry Hawkridge's low strike doubled | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
their lead. York battled back to earn a draw, but that did not dampen | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
the promotion celebrations after the final whistle. | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
Rugby League now and it was a bad afternoon for our teams. Hull KR | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
lost 29`34 to Widnes Vikings and Hull FC lost 23`16 to Wakefield. | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
Time for the weather now, with Keeley Donovan. | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
Good evening. Some fine weather to come tomorrow. At the moment, it has | :05:09. | :05:19. | |
been rather cloudy, but there will be breaks in that cloud through this | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
evening and overnight. It will not be a cold night. Tomorrow, the best | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
of the weather in the morning, when we got most of the sunshine. | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
Workload will spill from the West during the afternoon. But it should | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
stay largely dry. The temperature doing well, getting up to around 17 | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
or 18 Celsius. A mixture of sunshine and showers to come during the week. | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
And that is all from us for now, but we will be back later tonight. That | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
is just after quarter past ten. Bye for now. | :05:59. | :06:09. | |
Good evening. Today we have had the sunniest skies in the South whereas | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
in the north it has been quite cloudy. Tomorrow, we switch things | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
around. In the east we will have warm, hazy sunshine. In the west we | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
will have the biggest cloud. Tonight, there will be some rain | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
across parts of Scotland. The rain easing across Northern Ireland. For | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
many will be a dry night. For many across the south it will be cold. | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
Maybe not quite as cold as last night. We should start with quite a | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
bit of sunshine across central and eastern areas. The sunshine will | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
turn quite hazy of the cloud spills in from the west. The wind is also | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
starting to pick up and we will see rain. For Northern Ireland, the rain | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
spreading across a good part | :07:01. | :07:01. |
