:00:00. > :00:08.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.
:00:09. > :00:12.The headlines from us this Friday night...
:00:13. > :00:15.After the shock in the Copeland by-election, could Labour lose Hull
:00:16. > :00:20.There is definitely evidence to show that support among working-class
:00:21. > :00:24.voters for Labour has fallen under Jeremy Corbyn.
:00:25. > :00:27.It is not a people's party, as far as I am concerned.
:00:28. > :00:30.I do not like Mr Corbyn, I think he is rather arrogant.
:00:31. > :00:34.I do not think they are a strong option to lead the nation.
:00:35. > :00:38."Scrap the sugar tax" - a drinks company tells
:00:39. > :00:41.the government to rethink its plans, saying it could ruin their business.
:00:42. > :00:45.The relegation battle intensifies with the sacking of Leicester
:00:46. > :00:49.Can Hull City leapfrog them this weekend to get out
:00:50. > :00:53.And the nine-year-old on skates breaking records who is the youngest
:00:54. > :01:07.And we have seen some decent conditions across East Yorkshire and
:01:08. > :01:09.Lincolnshire today. A bit of a change of the weekend. I will have
:01:10. > :01:24.your full forecast shortly. There's a warning tonight that
:01:25. > :01:27.Labour could struggle to hold on to its traditional strongholds
:01:28. > :01:29.in northern cities. It follows the party's defeat
:01:30. > :01:32.in the Copeland by-election Pollsters say there's evidence that
:01:33. > :01:35.voters in cities like Hull are becoming increasingly
:01:36. > :01:37.disillusioned with Labour under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership -
:01:38. > :01:39.a charge denied by Mr Corbyn's More from our political
:01:40. > :01:42.editor Tim Iredale. His report contains
:01:43. > :01:49.some flash photography. For decades Labour has been
:01:50. > :01:51.the dominant political force But one polling organisation
:01:52. > :01:58.suggests the party could be in danger of losing some
:01:59. > :02:01.of its traditional supporters. If you look at areas like Hull,
:02:02. > :02:04.these are areas where over 60% of the population voted to leave
:02:05. > :02:06.the European Union. So, that disconnect,
:02:07. > :02:09.and how Jeremy Corbyn balances the priorities of,
:02:10. > :02:11.if you like, the North London Islington Liberals and the working
:02:12. > :02:17.class areas of the North, is a very difficult balancing
:02:18. > :02:19.act for him to make. Labour held off a challenge
:02:20. > :02:25.from Ukip in the Stoke Central by-election but the party lost
:02:26. > :02:27.Copeland in Cumbria That was the best by-election result
:02:28. > :02:33.for a governing party since 1966 when Labour won Hull North
:02:34. > :02:36.after promising to build We asked some voters how
:02:37. > :02:42.they rate Labour now. They're not the same party
:02:43. > :02:44.as they used to be anymore. Not a people's party,
:02:45. > :02:47.as far as I'm concerned. I don't like Mr Corbyn,
:02:48. > :02:50.I think he's rather arrogant. He just doesn't seem
:02:51. > :02:53.consistent in his ideas Would you vote for
:02:54. > :02:57.Labour under Mr Corbyn? I don't think they are a strong
:02:58. > :03:05.option to lead the nation. I don't think he is
:03:06. > :03:09.a strong candidate. Jeremy Corbyn still has
:03:10. > :03:11.many allies across East His supporters here in
:03:12. > :03:16.the Hull North constituency Labour Party are standing
:03:17. > :03:20.by their man. Jeremy was elected with a policy
:03:21. > :03:23.platform and we need to see You know, the Labour Party does have
:03:24. > :03:28.excellent policy to do with health and social care,
:03:29. > :03:31.integration, about getting rid of this crisis and funding it
:03:32. > :03:33.properly and making sure that elderly people are looked
:03:34. > :03:35.after and have a decent I think we need to hammer home those
:03:36. > :03:41.points more because they will Many Labour supporters will be keen
:03:42. > :03:45.to avoid another bitter leadership battle but it's clear the party
:03:46. > :04:04.faces an uphill struggle to win back This one will certainly get people
:04:05. > :04:06.talking. I will ask you for your views shortly.
:04:07. > :04:09.Earlier I spoke to the MP for Hull North, Diana Johnson,
:04:10. > :04:11.and I asked her whether northern cities like Hull are becoming
:04:12. > :04:17.I mean, we have a Labour council in Hull and we have three Labour
:04:18. > :04:19.MPs, and I think all Labour politicians in Hull
:04:20. > :04:21.and elsewhere need to make sure that we are listening
:04:22. > :04:25.to what the voters are saying to us and the concerns that they have.
:04:26. > :04:27.Would you bet on Hull North being still Labour after
:04:28. > :04:31.I take nothing for granted in politics and I work very hard
:04:32. > :04:38.to make sure that when the election comes, in 2020, we think,
:04:39. > :04:41.that people will look kindly upon what I have done over
:04:42. > :04:46.Copeland has been Labour since 1935, it is now Conservative.
:04:47. > :04:49.I mean, you have got a huge job if even traditional heartlands
:04:50. > :04:52.for Labour think that they are not worth voting for in
:04:53. > :04:57.We have to make sure that we are listening
:04:58. > :05:00.to those voters and we are putting forward policies...
:05:01. > :05:06.We are miles behind, I am not pretending that we are not.
:05:07. > :05:09.But what I am saying to you is that we have a real job
:05:10. > :05:12.of work to do to make sure that we have the policies
:05:13. > :05:15.that our voters will want to support and get out and vote for us.
:05:16. > :05:18.The problem, you see, is that the voters do not know
:05:19. > :05:20.what the Labour stance is on Brexit, do they?
:05:21. > :05:24.Don't want to leave the EU, and any support for Brexit
:05:25. > :05:29.No, that is not the case any more, I think.
:05:30. > :05:32.We had a referendum, I am a Democrat, the majority view
:05:33. > :05:36.That is now what the Labour Party is saying, we have all voted,
:05:37. > :05:40.or the vast majority of Labour MPs voted to trigger Article 50.
:05:41. > :05:43.But you have a leader that you do not believe in.
:05:44. > :05:45.He is the leader, we have gone through two leadership elections
:05:46. > :05:49.and I now want him to lead, I want him to set out very,
:05:50. > :05:51.very clearly, the policies that my constituents
:05:52. > :05:54.So policies that are very clear about jobs, about investing
:05:55. > :05:59.We need to be really clear with the electorate
:06:00. > :06:05.Is Jeremy Corbyn, as it stands at the moment, is he unelectable?
:06:06. > :06:08.Look, Jeremy Corbyn is the leader of the Labour Party and I think...
:06:09. > :06:11.No, I know that, but I am asking you if he is unelectable?
:06:12. > :06:13.No, I do not think that he is unelectable...
:06:14. > :06:16.OK, well, this morning the MP John Woodcock said Labour
:06:17. > :06:18.was on track for an historic and catastrophic defeat
:06:19. > :06:24.He is and I have got a great deal of time for John.
:06:25. > :06:27.Obviously he is an MP over in Cumbria where Copeland is.
:06:28. > :06:31.What I would say to you is, and I think Jeremy accepted this
:06:32. > :06:33.in the interview this morning that he gave, it is disappointing
:06:34. > :06:36.what happened in Copeland and we need to change track here.
:06:37. > :06:38.We need to make sure that we have clear policies,
:06:39. > :06:41.that Jeremy leads the Labour Party, that people understand
:06:42. > :06:43.that he is a Prime Minister in waiting and he has got
:06:44. > :06:46.a Shadow Cabinet that is a government in waiting.
:06:47. > :06:48.The trouble is, you don't really believe that he is
:06:49. > :06:56.What I would say to you is I really believe that Labour has
:06:57. > :07:01.I am proud to be a Labour MP and I want to see a Labour
:07:02. > :07:04.Diana Johnson, always very good to see you.
:07:05. > :07:08.Is the Labour Party electable with Jeremy Corbyn as leader?
:07:09. > :07:11.A win in Stoke, but defeat in Copeland last night.
:07:12. > :07:13.If you're a Labour supporter, are you celebrating today
:07:14. > :07:49.We look forward to getting your thoughts. We will have some of them
:07:50. > :07:51.before we finish at 7pm. And there will be more
:07:52. > :07:54.on the fallout from yesterday's This week the guests
:07:55. > :07:57.will include the Ukip MEP for Yorkshire and the Humber,
:07:58. > :07:59.Mike Hookem. That's on Sunday at 11
:08:00. > :08:02.o'clock on BBC One. The head of a drinks business
:08:03. > :08:04.in Lincolnshire is urging the government to scrap its plans
:08:05. > :08:07.to introduce a sugar tax. Beaver Fruit Farms in Bottesford
:08:08. > :08:10.says many of its drinks would be subject to a new levy and could put
:08:11. > :08:13.an end to further expansion. Lincolnshire's sugar beet farmers
:08:14. > :08:15.say any tax on sugar would also Our business correspondent
:08:16. > :08:24.Leanne Brown has more. Bottles of sparkling juice
:08:25. > :08:26.and cordial from this family-run business is shipped
:08:27. > :08:29.all over the world. The owner says their flavours
:08:30. > :08:32.are hugely popular and it would be difficult to change their recipes
:08:33. > :08:35.to include less sugar. Ginger beer because it's so peppery
:08:36. > :08:41.and sharp with the taste of ginger. That one, if we make
:08:42. > :08:45.the ginger beer without sugar, it really doesn't taste very
:08:46. > :08:47.nice at all. We use sugar as a sweetener,
:08:48. > :08:51.we don't use too much of it. He says any extra tax could halt
:08:52. > :08:56.development at this factory and using artificial sweeteners
:08:57. > :08:58.instead is not an option. It could have a profound
:08:59. > :09:03.impact on us. I don't want to go
:09:04. > :09:06.after sweeteners really. Our products are natural,
:09:07. > :09:29.which sugar is and we don't use Companies will be charged depending
:09:30. > :09:33.on how much sugar they use. Two litre bottles would be an extra 48p.
:09:34. > :09:38.But although the money raised going to fight obesity. -- with all of the
:09:39. > :09:39.money raised. 60% of the UK sugar comes from sugar
:09:40. > :09:42.beet and Lincolnshire is one of the largest producers
:09:43. > :09:43.of the plant. Growers say the sugar tax
:09:44. > :09:46.is a concern because the industry is It provides season-long
:09:47. > :09:52.employment for our staff here. We're harvesting right
:09:53. > :09:53.through into February and then we start drilling the crop
:09:54. > :09:55.again in March. We grow about 500 hectares year
:09:56. > :10:00.which puts 37,000 tonnes of sugar beet into the factory and we have
:10:01. > :10:02.been growing that When it leaves the farm it comes
:10:03. > :10:09.here to Newark to be turned into well-known products like Silver
:10:10. > :10:25.Spoon. They have said that sugar is the
:10:26. > :10:29.wrong target. If you want to control your weight it is about calories in
:10:30. > :10:32.and calories out and controlling them. I do not think it will have
:10:33. > :10:36.the impact that the government hopes. The spring budget will have
:10:37. > :10:40.more details on the sugar tax. Companies like this fear they will
:10:41. > :10:41.be left with the bitter taste in their mark. Leanne Brown, BBC Look
:10:42. > :10:49.North. Earlier I spoke to Gavin Partington
:10:50. > :10:55.who's from the British Soft Drinks Association and I asked him
:10:56. > :10:58.if he accepted that a tax on soft drinks would help to reduce the high
:10:59. > :11:02.levels of obesity which we have Where tax has been tried,
:11:03. > :11:07.as in Mexico, there is no evidence it has had any impact on levels
:11:08. > :11:10.of obesity, it simply, on occasions, has forced up prices and has had
:11:11. > :11:13.some impact on short-term sales. But there is no evidence from around
:11:14. > :11:16.the world that it has actually had Do you disagree with
:11:17. > :11:19.the health experts, including the World Health Organisation
:11:20. > :11:22.and also the boss of the NHS, who say that too much
:11:23. > :11:25.sugar is bad for you? I'd accept that actually some
:11:26. > :11:27.people can have too much sugar in their diet,
:11:28. > :11:29.we must acknowledge that too many children are getting too much
:11:30. > :11:32.sugar in their diet and, of course, the industry has a role
:11:33. > :11:35.to play in helping them reduce their sugar intake from soft
:11:36. > :11:37.drinks, I do accept that. So, if you accept that,
:11:38. > :11:40.why are you against the sugar tax when we know about the high amount
:11:41. > :11:43.of sugar in drinks, including an average can having
:11:44. > :11:45.nine teaspoons of sugar. It is a blunt weapon and the fact
:11:46. > :11:50.is that 60% of the soft drinks on the market now actually have low
:11:51. > :11:52.or no-sugar content whatsoever. So it seems wrong to us that
:11:53. > :11:55.consumers should pay a higher price when there is ample choice of low
:11:56. > :11:58.and no-calorie products But the National Obesity Forum
:11:59. > :12:04.thinks that you are very worried - in fact, worried stiff,
:12:05. > :12:07.I think was the quote - So you have got to do
:12:08. > :12:13.something, haven't you? I don't accept that
:12:14. > :12:14.we are worried stiff. The industry has actually been
:12:15. > :12:17.self-starting in a sense because for many, many years it has
:12:18. > :12:21.been launching a whole range of low and no-calorie products,
:12:22. > :12:24.reducing sugar content. In the last four years,
:12:25. > :12:27.sugar content across the soft drinks category has gone down
:12:28. > :12:32.by almost 20%. These are great strides
:12:33. > :12:35.and we can help people balance their diets,
:12:36. > :12:39.but ultimately, there is no evidence that a tax on soft drinks
:12:40. > :12:42.is actually going to reduce levels So what about the head of this
:12:43. > :12:45.drinks business in Lincolnshire who has said that the government
:12:46. > :12:48.should scrap the plans Are you still saying that or have
:12:49. > :12:52.you given up on that? Well, of course, we concur
:12:53. > :12:55.that the tax should not go ahead but it seems unfortunately
:12:56. > :12:57.that the Chancellor is determined We simply stand by our position
:12:58. > :13:01.that the soft drinks industry has taken the right steps to help people
:13:02. > :13:04.reduce sugar content The tax is a blunt weapon and,
:13:05. > :13:08.as I repeat, there is no evidence whatsoever from around the world
:13:09. > :13:11.where tax has been tried that it has Mr Partington, very good
:13:12. > :13:15.to talk to you tonight, Yesterday we asked for your thoughts
:13:16. > :13:29.on the government wanting to introduce a sugar tax,
:13:30. > :13:40.here's a few of your thoughts... We talked about, last night, about
:13:41. > :13:41.primary school children leaving school with high levels of obesity.
:13:42. > :14:14.Let us hear what you think... Thank you very much indeed for all
:14:15. > :14:19.of those. Lincolnshire County Council has
:14:20. > :14:21.voted to increase its share The approved rise puts an extra ?45
:14:22. > :14:25.on a Band D property. Half the money raised will be spent
:14:26. > :14:28.on adult social care. The council also voted on a proposal
:14:29. > :14:31.to do away with several Lincolnshire councils creating
:14:32. > :14:34.just one authority. A formal referendum
:14:35. > :14:35.will not go ahead. A public consultation however
:14:36. > :14:42.will be held later in the year. They have instructed our chief
:14:43. > :14:44.executive to make arrangements, to go out to consultation
:14:45. > :14:47.with the public on this So, potentially, we could save ?30
:14:48. > :14:53.million each year or ?80,000 each day and we just want to ask
:14:54. > :14:56.the public, if we had a different arrangement for Lincolnshire,
:14:57. > :14:58.whether they would support that As the relegation fight heats up
:14:59. > :15:12.with the sacking of Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri,
:15:13. > :15:14.can Hull City leapfrog them this weekend to get out
:15:15. > :15:18.of the bottom three? And we meet the nine-year-old
:15:19. > :15:20.on skates breaking records who is the youngest ever
:15:21. > :15:41.to represent his country. Keep the photographs coming in.
:15:42. > :15:44.Tonight our photograph comes from Steve feis who took this photograph
:15:45. > :15:56.at cell would be at Flamborough head. Good evening to you. Hello.
:15:57. > :16:00.This viewer has said that your hair is much better and they love the big
:16:01. > :16:18.question. Was that from you, Peter? No, not
:16:19. > :16:26.me, but from a chap cold Peter, would you believe! I think it was
:16:27. > :16:29.really from you! Tomorrow, the weather goes downhill. We will see
:16:30. > :16:34.outbreaks of rain, only just hanging on to that dry weather for the
:16:35. > :16:37.moment. Not for long, here it comes. The weather front pushing and only
:16:38. > :16:42.West introducing thicker cloud, outbreaks of rain. Some could be
:16:43. > :16:44.heavy at times as well. Those of five Celsius. The South-Westerly
:16:45. > :16:50.winds will pick up overnight, turning quite blustery. The high
:16:51. > :16:57.water is tomorrow at Hull. Here are your times... Back to that band of
:16:58. > :17:02.rain, moving across towards the East then. By the time they get in the
:17:03. > :17:06.afternoon, I think much of Lincolnshire, for example, built on
:17:07. > :17:09.mostly dry and Eastern coastal parts might even brighten up. We cannot
:17:10. > :17:15.promise anything but at least it will turn largely. Let us take you
:17:16. > :17:20.bet on a quick tour of the temperatures. Very similar across
:17:21. > :17:24.the board, nine or 10 Celsius, but again, South-Westerly winds. They
:17:25. > :17:27.are coming from a milder source region, so they are not as cold but
:17:28. > :17:37.they are quite strong and giving with the one hand and taking away at
:17:38. > :17:40.the same time. There is Saturday, it brightens up for the start of
:17:41. > :17:42.Sunday. That is ahead of another weather front. Sunday morning will
:17:43. > :17:45.mostly be dry with some brightness before that rain gets to us later
:17:46. > :17:48.on. We will see some showers as we look ahead towards Monday and
:17:49. > :17:52.Tuesday. So, I think if you have got any plans, Sunday is probably the
:17:53. > :17:55.better the weekend, just because we are going to see those outbreaks of
:17:56. > :18:02.rain tomorrow morning, pretty much from the word go. But you know,
:18:03. > :18:05.Peter, Sunday not such a bad day but still, pretty breezy out there.
:18:06. > :18:10.Owen, thank you very much. Peter continues that your hair looks so
:18:11. > :18:15.much better. You have a big fan. Brilliant, I am taking all the
:18:16. > :18:27.boxes. Have a nice weekend. You, Peter.
:18:28. > :18:32.Hull City can climb out of the Premier League's relegation
:18:33. > :18:35.places for the first time under new boss Marco Silva tomorrow.
:18:36. > :18:37.Our sports reporter Matt Dean is here to look
:18:38. > :18:41.The last time Hull City were out of the bottom three was October,
:18:42. > :18:44.so a win at home to Burnley at the KCOM Stadium tomorrow
:18:45. > :18:46.would mark significant progress under Marco Silva.
:18:47. > :18:48.The Portuguese, who only arrived last month, thinks it
:18:49. > :18:51.would provide his players with a big psychological boost in their battle
:18:52. > :18:56.It is important. This will only happen if we wind the games and
:18:57. > :18:56.select the points. Tomorrow it is a great chance
:18:57. > :19:32.These are the matches this weekend...
:19:33. > :19:42.It is a big night of boxing at the Hull Arena tomorrow. Luke Campbell
:19:43. > :19:45.and Tommy Coyne Weidenfeller. Campbell will defend his ECB BC
:19:46. > :19:52.Silva lightweight title against a Mexican. Great to be back in Hull
:19:53. > :19:56.fighting. I was on the road last year. We did not have any shows
:19:57. > :20:00.here. This is going to be a good start to the year. I am looking
:20:01. > :20:04.forward to getting in there and showing everybody what I can do. And
:20:05. > :20:08.then last night's action, Hull FC mist the opportunity to open their
:20:09. > :20:12.Super League campaign with a victory. They were defeated by the
:20:13. > :20:16.Catalan Dragons. They were leading 8-0 at the interval but could not
:20:17. > :20:20.build on that any second half. They slipped to their first defeat of the
:20:21. > :20:24.season despite scoring two tries to the French team's one try. Good luck
:20:25. > :20:30.to Hull Kingston Rovers at the weekend. They are striving for their

:23:43. > :23:48.Inline hockey is not for the faint-hearted
:23:49. > :23:51.but nine-year-old Jake more than holds his own with his
:23:52. > :24:10.It is fast. It is like, end to end. If you fall over, you get straight
:24:11. > :24:16.back up. It is live to me, I really like it. Some of the lads that have
:24:17. > :24:20.tried for Team GB, some have got in, some have not. But it is the
:24:21. > :24:22.strongest team we have had and we are going to try to win it this
:24:23. > :24:22.year. The lads will join their
:24:23. > :24:25.Great Britain Under-10s team-mates at the Junior Olympics
:24:26. > :24:26.in California in July. It's an opportunity Jake's mum never
:24:27. > :24:34.imagined would happen so young... We were asked to go along to the
:24:35. > :24:39.trials and we did not expect anything more out of it, so when he
:24:40. > :24:40.got selected for that and it was for the Junior Olympics, we were over
:24:41. > :24:44.the moon. But one glance in Jake's
:24:45. > :24:46.bedroom and you can see he was always destined to be
:24:47. > :25:00.a hockey player... When I was three years old, I put my
:25:01. > :25:07.first-ever hockey kit on. It is like wanting a lifetime achievement. It
:25:08. > :25:12.is really good because you get to go all over the world and, like,
:25:13. > :25:15.America and Canada. To train, Jake makes a 130-mile
:25:16. > :25:17.round trip to training in Rotherham where his coach Chris Dyer is over
:25:18. > :25:27.the moon about his selection. He is an incredibly skilful player,
:25:28. > :25:31.if you watch them playing as he has demonstrated tonight, good control,
:25:32. > :25:34.great shots. Very good at reading the game, just a phenomenal player
:25:35. > :25:36.for someone of his age. Now he has just four months
:25:37. > :25:39.to prepare and to save up Great story and I think that Jake is
:25:40. > :25:46.the star of our night. Thanks to everyone who gave us such
:25:47. > :25:49.a warm welcome in Bransholme It was lovely to grab a selfie
:25:50. > :25:53.with people of all ages There were lots of photos
:25:54. > :25:57.taken today and we'd love you to post your pictures
:25:58. > :25:59.on our Facebook page. I knew he was coming so I thought
:26:00. > :26:04.I'd come and see him live. He looks a little bit different
:26:05. > :26:12.though, doesn't he, in real life. I don't know, he looks
:26:13. > :26:19.more chunky on telly. Right! Thank you very much indeed
:26:20. > :26:21.for that! Lovely to meet everyone there earlier today.
:26:22. > :26:23.Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines...
:26:24. > :26:26.The Conservatives hail a historic victory as they sweep Labour aside
:26:27. > :26:29.And after the shock in the by-election, pollsters
:26:30. > :26:32.suggest Labour could lose other northern strongholds such as Hull.
:26:33. > :26:36.Wet and windy at first, slowly easing throughout the day.
:26:37. > :26:38.Drier in the east, with some brighter spells possible throughout.
:26:39. > :26:54.Labour in the northern heartlands... Peter said he has always voted
:26:55. > :27:01.Labour but will never vote for them again. Ian has said that he is not
:27:02. > :27:07.necessarily a Jeremy Corbyn fan and is not think that the problem is
:27:08. > :27:11.down to him. My people -- Michael thinks that Labour is finished.
:27:12. > :27:14.Alistair believes that Labour stopped being the party of the
:27:15. > :27:19.working man long ago and I thought was in traditional areas are waking
:27:20. > :27:28.up to the fact and are fed up with being treated as fools. Michael has
:27:29. > :27:31.said that he is surprised that Labour helped Stoke but not
:27:32. > :27:35.surprised that they lost in Copland. They are not an effective opposition
:27:36. > :27:39.and certainly not electable but the current Cabinet that they have. And
:27:40. > :27:43.Jeremy Corbyn is totally out of touch. Have a really good weekend, I
:27:44. > :27:47.will see you on Monday. Goodbye for now.
