and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:00.:00:00.

Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North.

:00:07.:00:08.

The magazine reported to police over claims of a racist article

:00:09.:00:11.

about the Hull City owner Assem Allam.

:00:12.:00:21.

These three remarks are very clearly anti-Arabic. Obscene about his

:00:22.:00:26.

racial origins. Tonight, the magazine has denied

:00:27.:00:29.

racism and said the article classrooms will get hundreds

:00:30.:00:31.

of pounds a year less spent on their education,

:00:32.:00:37.

according to teachers. It is deeply worrying. Schools will

:00:38.:00:48.

have to make decisions, for example to cut subjects.

:00:49.:00:55.

They got naked, they painted themselves blue, and now they are in

:00:56.:00:58.

a gallery for all to see. Hoping to make one last headline -

:00:59.:01:00.

Lincoln City could be promoted back to the league tomorrow after

:01:01.:01:03.

six years in the wilderness. And not a bad story for the weekend.

:01:04.:01:11.

High pressure in charge but a big change next week. Full forecast

:01:12.:01:13.

shortly. A magazine that looks to celebrate

:01:14.:01:18.

the culture of Hull has been reported to the police accused

:01:19.:01:22.

of racism against Hull City Tenfoot City is a free magazine

:01:23.:01:25.

stocked at hundreds of venues across the city and claims

:01:26.:01:32.

to have a readership Humberside Police are investigating

:01:33.:01:35.

a complaint by a reader who says comments made in an article

:01:36.:01:41.

about the team's foreign players and owners are not just

:01:42.:01:46.

derogatory but racist as well. Hull City has tonight told

:01:47.:01:50.

Look North the comments It is in this free magazine that the

:01:51.:02:09.

offending comments were made. An author known as ten foot tiger talks

:02:10.:02:20.

about the season. In it, and number of derogatory terms about the

:02:21.:02:25.

Egyptian heritage of the owner. This man is so angry he has reported it

:02:26.:02:35.

to the police. Specifically relating to his ethnic origin. That is

:02:36.:02:40.

technically racist. Not whether he is a big man, that a man, green

:02:41.:02:46.

hair, but he is of Egyptian back then. This race is Arabic. These

:02:47.:02:50.

remarks are very clearly anti-Arabic. They are being of

:02:51.:02:59.

certain, obscene about his origins. It is being treated as a hate

:03:00.:03:04.

incident and police are investigating. The magazine has

:03:05.:03:04.

depended itself. But one lawyer who has read the

:03:05.:03:32.

article disagrees. And says it can only take one person a vendor for

:03:33.:03:37.

police to take action. It does not have to be the person it is

:03:38.:03:41.

referring to, it can be the person who has read it and feels that way.

:03:42.:03:45.

Harassment, alarm, distress, the three keywords. The step up from

:03:46.:03:52.

that, effectively the fact it is aggravated by the abusive term about

:03:53.:03:58.

race. Tonight, Hull City said the comments are unacceptable and

:03:59.:04:03.

concern, confirmed it has raised the matter with Humberside Police. For

:04:04.:04:07.

further investigation. A statement says, we are duty bound to report

:04:08.:04:16.

incidents of racism and we are participating in the Premier League

:04:17.:04:21.

quality standards and Kick it Out campaign. This is not indicative of

:04:22.:04:26.

the wider community of football. James Kingett is from

:04:27.:04:34.

the Show Racism the Red Card, an anti-racism charity working

:04:35.:04:36.

to remove racism from football. I asked him for his reaction

:04:37.:04:38.

to the article in the magazine. To be completely honest, I was very

:04:39.:04:42.

shocked when I read the comments. And shocked by the content,

:04:43.:04:48.

the language that was used, but also just how unnecessary

:04:49.:04:54.

and unprovoked a response The use of those phrases in no way

:04:55.:04:58.

added anything to the article other than the intention or otherwise,

:04:59.:05:07.

as I think has been used as a defence, to push boundaries

:05:08.:05:10.

and to cause a reaction. The magazine said earlier today,

:05:11.:05:13.

you know, that this In other words, not racist,

:05:14.:05:15.

but distastefully funny. Is a defence that is used a lots

:05:16.:05:21.

to try and justify language and actions that can be

:05:22.:05:27.

viewed as offensive. I think unfortunately

:05:28.:05:29.

it is a big sticking point The presence of this kind

:05:30.:05:31.

of language, the weight of history behind it,

:05:32.:05:34.

the fact it has been used to make people feel different,

:05:35.:05:43.

to make people feel othered, alienateed, it has to be taken

:05:44.:05:48.

into consideration by somebody The magazine have also said people

:05:49.:05:50.

should stop being so sensitive. I think I would encourage people

:05:51.:05:54.

to go back to what the definition of racism is in terms of the legal

:05:55.:05:59.

definition, which is a racist incident is any incident

:06:00.:06:02.

which is perceived to be racist Now, people get very

:06:03.:06:04.

frustrated with that. But actually, it is meant

:06:05.:06:08.

to protect people. The defence that some people should

:06:09.:06:11.

not be offended by this If anyone is offended,

:06:12.:06:13.

we need to regard it This is not a specialist magazine,

:06:14.:06:16.

this is given out to people across the city of culture

:06:17.:06:20.

as they arrive even, For Show Racism The Red Card,

:06:21.:06:23.

we know that magazine will be going into the hands of young people

:06:24.:06:33.

who don't necessarily understand any attempt to be funny, to have banter

:06:34.:06:35.

or anything otherwise. If they see language

:06:36.:06:38.

like that used, they could We accept it is OK to use, and

:06:39.:06:40.

obviously that is not the message. Finally, I have a statement

:06:41.:06:49.

from Hull City. They see the comments

:06:50.:06:51.

as totally unacceptable. We have raised the matter

:06:52.:06:53.

with Humberside Police. What would be your message to

:06:54.:06:54.

Humberside Police tonight, briefly? Just that they investigate

:06:55.:06:58.

the incident, take it seriously. For Show Racism the Red Card,

:06:59.:07:00.

we are not so concerned with whether someone is a racist

:07:01.:07:03.

or not a racist. We believe that often very

:07:04.:07:05.

good-natured people can say It is about learning

:07:06.:07:07.

from the offence you have caused and adjusting

:07:08.:07:11.

your language accordingly. We'd like to hear your

:07:12.:07:16.

thoughts on this one. Canned derogatory comments about

:07:17.:07:27.

background or heritage ever be funny?

:07:28.:07:40.

At you heard such comments as a football match?

:07:41.:07:51.

A teaching union is warning that schools in Lincolnshire could be

:07:52.:07:59.

if proposed changes to the funding formula go ahead.

:08:00.:08:03.

The Government says that figure is misleading,

:08:04.:08:05.

But the NUT is calling for a rethink, claiming

:08:06.:08:12.

the education of thousands of youngsters is being put at risk.

:08:13.:08:15.

In rural Lincolnshire, schools have long complained that

:08:16.:08:23.

when it comes to funding, they lose out to the inner cities.

:08:24.:08:26.

The Government is planning to reform the system, and make it fairer.

:08:27.:08:33.

But the Uk's largest teaching union says it's got its sums badly wrong.

:08:34.:08:40.

We will suffer a ?30,000 shortfall. We will have to lose one class

:08:41.:08:47.

probably. Other than seven new groups, it would have to be six.

:08:48.:08:51.

Then you have mixed age groups across the school.

:08:52.:08:58.

According to the National Union of Teachers, by 2019 Lincolnshire

:08:59.:09:00.

will face a real terms cut to its education budget of nearly

:09:01.:09:03.

That would mean around ?500 less to be spent on each pupil

:09:04.:09:10.

And would equate to loss of just over 1200

:09:11.:09:12.

It is deeply worrying. Schools will have to make decisions to cut

:09:13.:09:25.

subjects. Six from precision, six form provision. That will affect a

:09:26.:09:31.

broad and balanced curriculum. It is fully funded in relation to the

:09:32.:09:38.

schools. We have lobbied hard to be county council that funding should

:09:39.:09:41.

be increased. It is not fair. We don't consider that any school in

:09:42.:09:46.

Lincolnshire should be losing under the proposals.

:09:47.:10:03.

But the Government has dismissed the NUT's figures as misleading.

:10:04.:10:14.

Despite assurances from the Government that the funding level is

:10:15.:10:19.

higher than ever, schools like this one is adamant that the new formula

:10:20.:10:25.

will lead to redundancies and affect the quality of education they are

:10:26.:10:26.

able to provide. Thank you for those people who got

:10:27.:10:37.

:12:48.:12:58.

We love your pictures, keep them coming.

:12:59.:13:15.

The CEO of Hull, did I see you in there? Will I need to take my

:13:16.:13:25.

glasses if I go and see it? It could have been worse. I am looking

:13:26.:13:39.

forward to seeing it. High pressure in charge. Some patchy rain. The

:13:40.:13:46.

weather from sinking to the south overnight. Just a bit patchy light

:13:47.:13:53.

rain and drizzle. Things tend to brighten up or become a bit clearer

:13:54.:13:59.

first thing in the morning. Tomorrow high waters. Back to the forecast

:14:00.:14:11.

for the weekend. A mostly settled story. Plenty of bright stars

:14:12.:14:16.

around. The cloud will become thick enough to produce light rain and

:14:17.:14:24.

drizzle. But most of us with a dry, pleasant day. In those sunny spells,

:14:25.:14:31.

a bit cooler along the coast, but 11-13 Celsius. That'll feel right,

because we will not have as much of a breeze tomorrow. The pressure

They came in their thousands, stripped off and painted

:15:42.:15:43.

Now those taking part in Sea of Hull are about to see the artwork

:15:44.:15:48.

they helped to create - as the photographs are put

:15:49.:15:50.

Our Culture Correspondent Anne-Marie Tasker is at

:15:51.:15:53.

You can, Peter. Here they are. The finished images. You might remember

:15:54.:16:05.

them being taken last July if you look to the Princess key shopping

:16:06.:16:09.

centre, the thousands of participants. Queueing up, waiting

:16:10.:16:14.

for their turn to come through to the gallery. To see if they can spot

:16:15.:16:19.

themselves among the thousands of blue and green bodies.

:16:20.:16:21.

It was an event that put Hull on the artistic map -

:16:22.:16:24.

3200 naked bodies, painted blue and green, flooding

:16:25.:16:26.

If I were to frame a work in my studio, this

:16:27.:16:33.

And today, the artist Spencer Tunick came back to the city to show off

:16:34.:16:37.

the finished works to the people who helped make them.

:16:38.:16:40.

Maybe they will see a purpose to my madness.

:16:41.:16:42.

It has moved that a lot of people. It is wonderful.

:16:43.:16:45.

I leave a city like Hull and I don't really know until afterwards

:16:46.:16:48.

I think they have had a great experience.

:16:49.:16:53.

Last July - at dawn - people from 20 countries stripped

:16:54.:17:02.

off, to take part in the largest nude art installation

:17:03.:17:04.

You can see, I am actually just here.

:17:05.:17:10.

But how does it feel to think you could be

:17:11.:17:13.

on show to the public - naked - forever?

:17:14.:17:17.

I will one day bring my little boy to come and see it.

:17:18.:17:20.

It gives you goose bumps and you feel like a celebrity.

:17:21.:17:23.

You never once felt self-conscious. When you are doing it.

:17:24.:17:26.

I felt it was one of the most brilliant things I have

:17:27.:17:29.

Never done anything like it before, probably never will again.

:17:30.:17:33.

Sea of Hull is on show alongside work by great

:17:34.:17:35.

artists like Edouard Manet, Lucian Freud and Ron Mueck.

:17:36.:17:38.

The gallery's curator stood alongside Spencer Tunick as he took

:17:39.:17:42.

the photos for this exhibition - seeing them displayed has

:17:43.:17:44.

When all the people had to lie down on the street, it was amazing.

:17:45.:17:51.

You could just hear the gulls crying overhead.

:17:52.:17:55.

It made the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

:17:56.:17:57.

Seeing these finished works brings that all back.

:17:58.:18:01.

It is a very proud moment for us here.

:18:02.:18:04.

The show gets its big reveal tomorrow.

:18:05.:18:07.

There's even a chance to pick your favourite sea

:18:08.:18:11.

of blue naked people - and if the gallery

:18:12.:18:13.

raise enough money through crowdfunding -

:18:14.:18:15.

These are the extra pictures you can choose from. There are peepholes

:18:16.:18:32.

here. You pick your favourite image from the Sea of Hull, right it down

:18:33.:18:37.

on a card, and pop it in the box. If you are lucky enough to be among the

:18:38.:18:40.

favourites, you may see your favourite image from Sea of Hull

:18:41.:18:42.

displays on the walls here for ever. Well done to everyone who took part

:18:43.:18:52.

last July. Lincoln City can create club history

:18:53.:18:55.

tomorrow by securing their return to the Football League

:18:56.:18:58.

after a six-year absence. They're expecting their biggest

:18:59.:19:00.

attendance in years when they take Our Sports Reporter Matt Dean

:19:01.:19:05.

is at Sincil Bank. What do they have to do

:19:06.:19:08.

to achieve promotion? Peter, a wind tomorrow here would do

:19:09.:19:22.

it. The players need just two points from their remaining three fixtures

:19:23.:19:28.

this season to confirm legendary status in this city and cap one of

:19:29.:19:31.

the most memorable seasons in the club pass history.

:19:32.:19:33.

The National League table shows Lincoln City are firmly in control.

:19:34.:19:35.

They had the table with a five point lead over their closest challengers,

:19:36.:19:40.

Tranmere, and have a game in hand on them.

:19:41.:19:43.

As a demanding season reaches its climax.

:19:44.:19:44.

Tomorrow's game is the Imps' 59th game of a remarkable season.

:19:45.:19:48.

Which has already provided lasting memories from the FA Cup.

:19:49.:19:50.

But many feel promotion this week would be even more meaningful.

:19:51.:19:53.

We know it is a life changing opportunity.

:19:54.:19:57.

We know that the most successful people in this

:19:58.:19:59.

world are people that, when they have a life

:20:00.:20:03.

changing opportunity, they take it with both hands.

:20:04.:20:05.

We will be looking to take the opportunity

:20:06.:20:12.

Sincil Bank has already staged some big

:20:13.:20:19.

But the club is preparing for its largest crowd

:20:20.:20:25.

We are expecting just short of 10,000, which is the capacity.

:20:26.:20:29.

Obviously, we can concentrate on getting everything ready

:20:30.:20:32.

for the big game and hopefully everyone will be here

:20:33.:20:35.

Wherever you go in this great city, you are left in little doubt

:20:36.:20:39.

that the supporters everywhere have been given an almighty buzz.

:20:40.:20:45.

But this tattoo parlour had supporters wanting to make

:20:46.:20:47.

the memories of the season last a lifetime.

:20:48.:20:49.

We are mainly seeing a lot of the badges themselves.

:20:50.:20:59.

The designs we did, they are still going.

:21:00.:21:01.

There is also some script that we have written about the Imps

:21:02.:21:07.

Now, it is down to the Lincoln City players to make their biggest mark

:21:08.:21:14.

Promotion tomorrow would be the club's first since 1998.

:21:15.:21:20.

The trophy will be here tomorrow, ready to be presented should

:21:21.:21:27.

promotion the clenched. If it does not happen this weekend, they have

:21:28.:21:31.

two further opportunities, away at Maidstone United and away at

:21:32.:21:36.

Southport on the final day of the season. We hope it does not come to

:21:37.:21:40.

that because there is a feeling in link in that they have to do it in

:21:41.:21:43.

front of the home supporters tomorrow.

:21:44.:21:46.

And of course, you'll be able to listen to commentary from that

:21:47.:21:49.

game and others by going to your BBC local radio stations.

:21:50.:21:51.

And the Lincoln City game gets the weekend underway at 12.15.

:21:52.:22:00.

A road safety sign that was misspelt outside a school in Winterton

:22:01.:22:03.

Photos of the spelling mistake had been shared widely on social area.

:22:04.:22:10.

North Lincolnshire Council says it was quickly corrected

:22:11.:22:13.

and the contract with the company that carried out the work

:22:14.:22:16.

They're two colours that can only mean one thing -

:22:17.:22:29.

that the Tour De Yorkshire is on it's way!

:22:30.:22:33.

And with just a week to go until the start of this years

:22:34.:22:37.

race in Bridlington - decorations are already up in some

:22:38.:22:40.

Pocklington is a murky town ready for its first taste

:22:41.:22:50.

of the Tour de Yorkshire - the owners of this ice cream parlour

:22:51.:22:53.

have welcomed the challenge of finding a recipe that stays true

:22:54.:22:56.

First of all, we thought, blueberries. But blueberries go

:22:57.:23:05.

purple. We have what we call a Cinderella toffee. That is blue.

:23:06.:23:11.

Everyone is coming, they are saying, two of Yorkshire. It is unique and

:23:12.:23:13.

everyone wants to try it. Last year's race passed

:23:14.:23:18.

through nearby murky Weighton - but many business owners

:23:19.:23:21.

here are preparing to welcome When you see the facts and advice,

:23:22.:23:34.

it makes you proud to be here. It is a beautiful place and we don't get

:23:35.:23:38.

enough visitors at the moment. And the yellow and blue

:23:39.:23:39.

displays are growing - this local crotchet club is knitting

:23:40.:23:42.

woollen bunting and figures We are hoping to cover three major

:23:43.:23:54.
