Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
The father from Hull hoping sport can prevent suicides after speaking | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
They say that big boys don't cry, all those sort of classic phrases | :00:18. | :00:28. | |
that mean that men just cannot open up. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Hundreds of people are facing a second night without water | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Battling Barbara - the trail blazing boxer from Hull | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
If I was there today I would be in my glory, just to see someone ask | :00:39. | :00:50. | |
owing to the gym and working out. cooking up a storm | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
on the internet. It's not just a packet of beans | :00:54. | :01:04. | |
these days. It shows that people are looking to try something new. And | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
don't forget that weekly forecast will follow in 15 minutes. | :01:12. | :01:22. | |
A man from Hull whose son tried to take his own life | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
says men need more help to talk about their problems. | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
Geoff Bielby's son Jonathan is recovering from what his family | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
The latest figures show that in England, | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
more than 3,600 men took their own lives. | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
In the East Midlands, which includes Lincolnshire, | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
While in Yorkshire and the Humber, there were 422 suicides in men, | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
meaning our area has some of the highest rates | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
Geoff has been speaking to our reporter Matt Dean | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
about his family's experience and how he found support | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
I was looking forward to the start of the football season. | :02:00. | :02:09. | |
I got a phone call, dropped everything, and Jonathan has been | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
Up until then, Geoff Bielby had no idea his son | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
To him, he was just a carefree lad in his 30s but that day | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
His partner, his close friends and his family had | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
That is one of the saddest things, that it's not uncommon for men | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
They say big boys don't cry, stiff upper lip, all of those sort of | :02:35. | :02:48. | |
classic phrases that mean that men just cannot open up. But now it need | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
not be that way thanks to the formation of Blokes United. We want | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
men to realise that they can talk. And if the door to get lads to talk | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
it through sport, then great. That is what we're about, opening up for | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
lads to talk. We have a couple of lads with average age, late 30s, | :03:14. | :04:18. | |
early 40s, and a few look at them from afar, they have come out of | :04:19. | :04:19. | |
drugs and Earlier I spoke to Alistair | :04:20. | :04:47. | |
Campbell, Tony Blair's former spin I asked him why he thinks men | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
find it so hard to talk We are talking centuries of human | :04:50. | :04:59. | |
development, and the notion that women are the soft, caring type and | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
men are hard, breadwinners, fighters and warriors. And culturally, it has | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
just developed like that. I do think it is changing. The kind of thing | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
you have been highlighting tonight, these things are happening, | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
piecemeal, older the country. And I do think there is a change taking | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
place and if we keep working and campaigning we can get a tipping | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
point and get real change to the point where people feel they can be | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
as open about mental health as about physical health. When someone is | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
down, depressed or wrestling demons, do they just feel terribly isolated | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
and lonely and on their own? A lot of people do. I can only speak for | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
myself. When I find very bad depression cop you feel very low in | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
your mood, you feel lacking in energy and purpose. And ultimately | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
you start to question whether there is any point being alive at all. | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
Depression, when it's bad, you feel Depression, when it's bad, you feel | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
like you are dead and alive at the same time. It is a truly horrible | :06:02. | :06:02. | |
thing. But I have found that I can thing. But I have found that I | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
be more open about it with my family be more open about it with my family | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
and with people I work with and I take medication every day now. And | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
for years I resisted that. I didn't want to take medication but I take | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
it now and I feel better. It is interesting, your focus on sport. I | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
find that doing exercise every day, which I do, that has definitely | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
helped my mental health. The other thing to understand is that mental | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
and physical health are often very closely related. If you feel OK | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
physically, you are more likely to feel OK mentally. That doesn't mean | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
that you can't be super fit and not have mental health problems, but | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
physical fitness is important. Very interesting to chat with you. Thank | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
you for your time, Mr Campbell. All the best. We would like your | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
thoughts on this. Why do you think men don't talk that much was McGrath | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
on the subject of mental health and depression. -- why do you think men | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
don't talk that much? We would be very keen to hear your | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
views and thoughts on that one. A man has appeared in | :07:15. | :07:40. | |
court following a series There were a number of reports | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
of attempted car thefts across Hull and East Yorkshire area | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
on Friday morning. Police say they're | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
still searching for a second man Our reporter Matthew | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
Bone was in court. He appeared at Hull Magistrates' | :07:56. | :08:11. | |
Court charged with 12 offences, four tells of robbery, but of attempted | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
robbery, two of assault, one possession of an offensive weapon | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
and one of session of an imitation firearm. He was remanded in custody | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
and will go before Hull Crown Court next month. A vicar from wet Wang | :08:25. | :08:39. | |
has been jailed for sexually abusing a boy 40s ago was working as a | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
headteacher. The 63-year-old was working in the Bradford in the late | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
1980s when he committed the offences. He was convicted of two | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
counts of indecent assault but found not guilty of six similar offences. | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
Plans for a futuristic hover train that could travel from Hull | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
to Liverpool in 29 minutes have been submitted to transport bosses. | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
The company behind the plan wants to create the "world's fastest | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
underground system" across the north of England using trains, | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
similar to this one, which can reach speeds of 350 mph. | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
Transport for the North says the plans need more development. | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
Volunteers say they've removed more than a tonne of rubbish | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
from an East Yorkshire nature reserve over the weekend. | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Lots of plastic waste ended up on Spurn Point | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
Around 30 volunteers turned up to collect things like polystyrene, | :09:28. | :09:36. | |
Well done to everyone who volunteer to help there. | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
Hundreds of people are facing a second night without water after | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
a burst pipe in the Lincolnshire Wolds. | :09:48. | :09:48. | |
At least 16 villages have been affected including Binbrook, | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
The repair work has been made more complicated | :09:52. | :10:05. | |
because the water main is under a river. | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
Bottles of water have been delivered to homes that have been affected. | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
in the Lincolnshire Wolds where a team from Anglian Water | :10:11. | :10:20. | |
is working to restore the supply to around 16 villages in the local | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
area, about 1,000 homes that have been cut off | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
The blisters underneath the river just down the road which is going to | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
cause significant problems repairing it. What we are currently working on | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
is providing an alternative supply through the blue pipes you can see | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
running down the road behind me, which will start to move water back | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
along the path of the main that is burst and start to restore supplies | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
to customers today. Around 1000 homes in 16 villages have been left | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
without water. Getting everything ready for the baby that is due for | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
six weeks. It is a bit hard to get all the washing done and get all of | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
the baby clothes prepared. We have bought some bottled water this | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
morning. That is all we're going to do. Just carry on. It is not ideal. | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
And it is not ideal that they haven't got water here. That is the | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
problem. It is not just people affected. At this farm, the herd of | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
30 pedigree cows and their calves are at risk due to the lack of | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
water. According to my vet, we have a 12 hour window and we are now well | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
over 24 hours with no appreciable water for the animals. I am fetching | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
from the neighbours and trying to keep them watered. Tankers have been | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
pumping water into the system so some villages do have a low pressure | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
water supply, but for those who don't, Anglian Water has been | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
dropping bottles of water and collection points across the Worlds, | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
like this one here at McAfee. Anglian Water say that it will take | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
some time to return full pressure to the system so it may be tomorrow | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
before full supply is our returned to the whole area. That water may be | :12:08. | :12:17. | |
not back on until tomorrow. There is more on this on BBC radio | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
Lincolnshire. We'll have the latest on the water situation on BBC One at | :12:21. | :12:25. | |

Richard Clarke took this at North Ferriby this evening. | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
He calls it "the Gateway to the City Culture". | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
Fabulous picture. Thank you very much for that. Good evening, young | :13:05. | :13:13. | |
man. I've just read one of several here from Jake. Less Paul please, | :13:14. | :13:24. | |
and more Abi. I have got the Abi habit. That is one for the older | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
viewers! Nice of you to pop in. Let's have a look at the headlines | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
for the next 24 hours. It is looking fairly good. Tomorrow, drive the | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
sunshine with a little ridge of high pressure pushing in from the west. | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
Let's have a look at that Atlantic synoptic chart. This weather front | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
will bring some rain. Then more rain on Wednesday morning before clearing | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
out of the way. That means tomorrow and Thursday are the best days of | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
the week. Much of the rain this week coming on Tuesday night, which is | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
good news, of course. You can see the satellite picture, shower clouds | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
have been pushing down from the north-west. These are fairly | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
isolated. If you catch one, they could be pretty sharp. They could | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
take some time to die away. They will continue to push in for a | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
while, but essentially most places becoming dry with spells. A touch of | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
grass frost in places where temperatures touch two Celsis. The | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
time sunrise... And the time of high water... Dues they look set to be a | :14:36. | :14:44. | |
lovely day. A ridge of high pressure means it's settled, dry and bright | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
with sunshine although, late in the afternoon, cloud may begin to | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
increase. Some nice March sunshine. There is a bit of strength in that | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
Sun right now so it should not feel too bad with that north-westerly | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
breeze. Highs of around nine Celsius. Tuesday night, wet. | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
Wednesday morning, a cloudy, damp start but becoming drier and | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
brighter through the day. Thursday looks nice, Friday cloudy, but mild | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
and mostly dry. That is the forecast. You made some disparaging | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
remarks about Spain. Vicky says, how rude issy, saying that Benidorm is | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
full of purple rinses. Vicky says, I am 26 and I go every year. There is | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
no purple rinse on my head. I think she needs to get out a bit more. You | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
like Benidorm, don't you, Peter? I don't take any risks. It is far too | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
dangerous. Professional suicide! A vegan chef who runs cookery | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
classes from an East Yorkshire pig farm is joining names | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
like Mary Berry and James Martin Katy Beskow from Beverley, | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
who's already been successful with a blog and writing recipes | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
for supermarkets is hoping to soon become a household name | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
in the world of cooking. She says she's been surprised | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
at how well meat and dairy-free food has gone down | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
in a traditional farming county. Farming is a big part of life | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
on the Yorkshire Wolds, and these So promoting meat and dairy free | :16:11. | :16:24. | |
food here could be a hard sell but that is exactly what vegan chef | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
Katie Bescow is trying to do. It's not just a packet | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
of beans these days. I think it shows that | :16:39. | :16:40. | |
people are really looking to try something new, | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
whether they are from a farming background or eat meat, | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
and actually, people don't have to be fully vegan to appreciate | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
vegan or vegetarian food. Her name will soon be on the book | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
shelves next to Mary Berry and James Martin and her vegan | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
cookery classes near Do you ever get any | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
hostility or people really People are always really | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
determined to try it. And when they give it a go, | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
they absolutely love it. Famous fans of a vegan | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
diet include Beyonce So could it take off | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
in an East Yorkshire People around here seem to like all | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
sorts of different foods. It's too different | :17:19. | :17:27. | |
at my time of life. I am a steak and chips man. It might | :17:28. | :17:38. | |
not be for everyone but with a book deal and thousands of social media | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
followers, Katie is proving that there is a global appetite for a | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
meat free menu. Let's hope that Katie can become the new Mary Berry! | :17:52. | :18:00. | |
There has been an emotional send off for the | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
The Lincolnshire Poacher has patrolled the coast for 27 years | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
The boat was replaced by a new state of the art vessel earlier this year. | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
She's now heading for Poole in Dorset | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
as part of the reserve RNLI fleet. | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
27 years, that is amazing. We wish all of our friends in the RNLI | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire all the very best. | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
For the first time this year Scunthorpe United are outside | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
the automatic promotion places in League One. | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
Their defeat to Fleetwood Town was the seventh game without a win. | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
Our sports reporter Simon Clark is here with the latest. | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
What's gone wrong at Scunthorpe lately, Simon? | :18:38. | :18:46. | |
They have not been playing terribly well. | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
But even though they lost on Saturday manager Graham Alexander | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
says he thinks his side got their mojo back and he's | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
Scunthorpe get an early chance at Charlton tomorrow. | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
Glanford Park had become a citedal for Scunthorpe United. | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
They'd gone 26 unbeaten but now it's three losses out of four. | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
The latest this 2-0 defeat against promotion rivals Fleetwood | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
were a hammer blow to their ambitions. | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
It might have turned out differently if this had not been ruled offside. | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
Today as he prepares his team for the next match at Charlton | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
tomorrow, manager Graham Alexander has seen an improvement | :19:22. | :19:22. | |
We are miles better than we have been for a long time. And that gives | :19:23. | :19:34. | |
you confidence that the players have found their merger again and are | :19:35. | :19:35. | |
ready to win games. -- there mojo. No argument about the | :19:36. | :19:46. | |
result for Hull City. Despite taking the lead | :19:47. | :19:47. | |
through Sam Clucas, the champions of England showed why | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
they were the best last season You need to fight always. After, we | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
work to prepare the next game. Grimsby Town took the lead | :19:53. | :20:02. | |
after winning a first half penalty. Visitors Wycombe then drew level | :20:03. | :20:11. | |
from an own goal before with Grimsby's Gavin | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
Gunning down injured. North Ferriby United won their 10th | :20:15. | :20:16. | |
game of the season against Woking while Lincoln City's lead | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
in the National League was cut to three points | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
after a draw at Aldershot. A busy week ahead at | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
Braintree and Aresenal. People keep saying to me that | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
Arsenal will be the biggest challenge of | :20:31. | :20:31. | |
Arsenal will be the biggest challenge of your football career, | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
but for me, Aldershot and Braintree, I think it is those two performances | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
which are representations of us, as people. | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
And Hull Kingston Rovers romped to victory in | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
the Championship scoring 50 points against Sheffield Eagles | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
Lincoln city have sold the last of their tickets for the game against | :20:49. | :20:58. | |
Arsenal at the weekend. That is all 9000 taken. | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
And rugby league fans might want to re-live Hull FC's | :21:02. | :21:03. | |

Florida's Boxing Hall of Fame alongside him. | :21:22. | :21:23. | |
But there's a good chance you've never even heard | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
Hull's City of Culture celebrations are hoping to change that | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
by inviting Barbara - who's now 87 years old - | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
to take centre stage at this weekend's | :21:36. | :21:36. | |

fighting prejudice as well as opponents in the 30s, 40s and 50s. | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
She grew up near Hull, she found a newspaper article that started | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
boxing career. He used a box in the boxing booths around 1914-18. I | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
thought, if she could box, then so could I. So I bought myself a | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
harmless thing that you put a football in and made a punch bag out | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
of it. Then, Barbara headed to London looking for a trainer and | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
opponents but she ended up touring the boxing booths in travelling | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
fairground is because the boxing world would not entertain women | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
fighters. When I was 18 I went to London. I went to box in the Mayfair | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
gym. After that I used to work on the boxing booths. Nobody would | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
encourage it. They were so down on it. They would put the other girls | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
completely off. I used to spar with the men, yes. In 1952, Barbara came | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
here to the United States, in search of opponents and a professional | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
boxing licence. And she found them. And in 1937 she beat Phyllis Kugler | :23:07. | :23:16. | |
to become the world women's boxing champion. She trained in a gym it in | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
Miami Beach alongside Muhammad Ali. She retired having lost only one | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
fight. She still supports women's boxing. She came to London in 2012 | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
the seat in the Olympics for the first time in history. It is women | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
like her who have made it possible for me to box today. Previously | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
women's boxing was not accepted so I cannot imagine how hard it was for | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
her to keep pushing, keep training and try to be taken seriously. I owe | :23:41. | :23:48. | |
a big thank you to Barbara. I never thought that it would develop to the | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
point where it has now where it has gone into the Olympics. I was very | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
pleased about that. If I was a kid today I would be a happy kid. In | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
2010, Barbara became the only woman boxer to be inducted into the | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
Florida boxing Hall of Fame alongside Muhammad Ali. Acceptance | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
that she could only have drained of when she first pulled on a pair of | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
boxing gloves more than seven decades ago. -- only have dreams of. | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
Barbara's sharing more of her life story at the weekend's Women | :24:22. | :24:29. | |
of the World festival. What is this event? | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
It is an event that started in London back in 2010. It is to debate | :24:35. | :24:43. | |
the issues that women face in the world today and to celebrate their | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
achievements in the world, also. It has started in London and has | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
travelled to 17 cities across the world. This year for the first time, | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
that includes whole, as UK City of Culture. Barbara is coming over from | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
Miami Beach to speak this Saturday and I will be interviewing her | :25:01. | :25:10. | |
onstage at City Hall. The comedian Lucy Beaumont will wither, and | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
Maureen Lipman, the actor, so there is a chance to hear from these women | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
and to celebrate their achievements. It is part of a worldwide movement. | :25:21. | :25:30. | |
So there will be other women in Australia, America, debating these | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
issues at the same time. And Anne-Marie took the former world | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
boxing champion Johnny Nelson to meet Barbara. And you can see their | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
other shown that story with him tonight, that is on Inside Out on | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
BBC One at 7:30pm with Paul, as always. | :25:53. | :26:01. | |
Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines: Concerns | :26:02. | :26:03. | |
for thousands of jobs at Vauxhall's UK plants | :26:04. | :26:05. | |
after it's sold to a French car maker. | :26:06. | :26:07. | |
A father from Hull is encouraging men to talk | :26:08. | :26:09. | |
after his son tries to take his own life. | :26:10. | :26:11. | |
The weather: cloudy with rain at first. | :26:12. | :26:13. | |
Top temperatures around nine Celsius. | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
Let's have a look at some of your emails on our piece earlier about | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
Sophie says the stigma behind male suicide is stupid. It should not be | :26:28. | :26:37. | |
ridiculed as a feminine thing either, because it is far from it. | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
We should look after each other. This one is anonymous. Men feel the | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
need to protect, fight and care for their family so the last thing they | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
want to do is appear weak to their partners and children. It is really | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
sad, but men feel the pressure to be hard and not soft. It is seen as a | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
failure to talk about feelings and emotions. Whoever said that, thank | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
you very much. David said, men suffer with mental health the same | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
as women but they receive less funding and consideration than | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
women. Tricia says talking about mental health is the first step to | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
eliminating the negative stereotype around mental health. This is an | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
interesting one from Roy. He says a close friend of mine committed | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
suicide. We all felt that we had failed him. And talking about that | :27:25. | :27:38. | |
group, Inside Out, they are doing some great work on this. And we will | :27:39. | :27:44. | |
have the latest in our late bulletin at 10:30pm on those 16 villages in | :27:45. | :27:47. | |
Lincolnshire without | :27:48. | :27:48. |
