Welcome to the late Look North. The headlines tonight...

:00:00.:00:00.

A cancer charity slammed after calling a chemotherapx patient

:00:07.:00:10.

Whoever they are, they should be struck off, totally.

:00:11.:00:20.

And fighter jets from Lincolnshire prepare to be sent to Romanha

:00:21.:00:23.

Some damp weather to come in places overnight and for some of us, it

:00:24.:00:30.

A cancer charity has been criticised by a woman undergoing chemotherapy

:00:31.:00:48.

after they called and asked for money in her will.

:00:49.:00:51.

Diane Elliott from Bardney near Lincoln wants to know how

:00:52.:00:54.

The charity says it was not aware of Diane's cancer

:00:55.:01:02.

Cold calling has become comlon practice amongst many charities

:01:03.:01:08.

looking to raise funds by phoning potential donors.

:01:09.:01:12.

But when cancer patient Diane Elliot received an unsolicited call last

:01:13.:01:16.

week from the charity Cancer Research UK -

:01:17.:01:19.

Can we talk to you, have yot got time to talk to us about yotr will?

:01:20.:01:33.

I said, I'm sorry, my will has got nothing to do with you.

:01:34.:01:40.

My son is a lawyer and he will sort out my will.

:01:41.:01:43.

You have been called by Cancer Research UK.

:01:44.:01:45.

Diane says the charity wanted her to leave it

:01:46.:01:47.

She's convinced she was deliberately targeted,

:01:48.:01:50.

I think there was a leak somewhere along the line.

:01:51.:01:57.

It upsets me that somebody could be so

:01:58.:02:06.

We are used to giving charities -- giving to charities and fivd shops

:02:07.:02:14.

But it is when people are called in their own

:02:15.:02:18.

homes, something they are going to far.

:02:19.:02:20.

People feel under pressure to help whether they have

:02:21.:02:22.

It bothers me less if a charity called

:02:23.:02:26.

although I would have my dotbts as to whether it was genuind.

:02:27.:02:29.

I think even charities on the street,

:02:30.:02:31.

begging without permission, is wrong.

:02:32.:02:32.

They create a bad impression and should be stopped.

:02:33.:02:40.

I don't think there should be a ban on charities calling supporters

:02:41.:02:49.

Lotsa people like hearing from charities. I think the key thing is

:02:50.:02:52.

making sure that people who are happy to get them get those calls,

:02:53.:02:56.

the people who are not get ` complete right to say no.

:02:57.:02:58.

In a statement Cancer Research UK, said...

:02:59.:03:10.

Diane is hoping cancer will soon be in her past.

:03:11.:03:12.

But she says this experiencd with a charity which claims to help

:03:13.:03:17.

people in her position has made her ordeal even worse.

:03:18.:03:24.

David Hickson is from a group which campaigns

:03:25.:03:26.

Earlier I asked him what he thought of the phone call made to Dhane

:03:27.:03:32.

Obviously, this case is very distressing,

:03:33.:03:36.

but it highlights a point that the telephones should no longer

:03:37.:03:40.

be used as a means of contacting people in an unsolicited marketing

:03:41.:03:45.

effort in the home or on their personal mobile.

:03:46.:03:50.

But this is how the big brand charities make their

:03:51.:03:52.

Are you saying that it should be stopped, full stop?

:03:53.:03:57.

We are quite clear, we no longer believe that the telephone

:03:58.:04:00.

is an appropriate tool under any circumstances to approach

:04:01.:04:05.

people for what is termed a direct marketing.

:04:06.:04:09.

That includes selling, it also includes charities

:04:10.:04:22.

seeking donations and indeed political parties' canvassing.

:04:23.:04:23.

You say that, but it is going on all the time.

:04:24.:04:26.

All those people that you have just listed there,

:04:27.:04:28.

Eventually, the government will be able to change the general

:04:29.:04:33.

regulation that derives frol an EU directive once Brexit is colplete

:04:34.:04:36.

but in the meantime, regulators covering areas stch

:04:37.:04:38.

as claims management, that is PPI and accident cl`ims

:04:39.:04:40.

financial services and also the charities that now

:04:41.:04:43.

have their own fundraising regulator, they could take `ction

:04:44.:04:47.

to say approach people in other ways but not with direct voice tdlephone

:04:48.:04:52.

So a call to somebody asking for money when they die

:04:53.:04:59.

I think letters and consent are an area that we need to talk

:05:00.:05:10.

about, likewise e-mails and even text messages, perhaps.

:05:11.:05:16.

But on the issue of a direct telephone call, which invarhably

:05:17.:05:19.

demands somebody's immediatd attention - that is the unipue thing

:05:20.:05:24.

about a telephone call - in that case, we say no.

:05:25.:05:28.

In this case, though, the charity says it is prob`bly

:05:29.:05:31.

just a pure coincidence, just random numbers and it

:05:32.:05:33.

As far as we are concerned, they are probably within thd law

:05:34.:05:39.

in what they did, but as far as we are concerned,

:05:40.:05:42.

direct marketing by telephone to people's homes and personal

:05:43.:05:46.

An inquest has heard that a marriage break-up led to a man

:05:47.:06:01.

killing his wife and daughtdr and then himself in Spalding in July.

:06:02.:06:04.

A coroner ruled that Lance Hart was a cold and scheming man

:06:05.:06:08.

and unlawfully killed Claire and Charlotte Hart.

:06:09.:06:10.

They were shot in a swimming pool car park in the town days

:06:11.:06:14.

after Claire had moved out of the family home.

:06:15.:06:17.

Hull City Council says it plans to meet the new Transport Sdcretary

:06:18.:06:21.

to press for improvements to the A63 to start on time.

:06:22.:06:25.

The council wants reassurances that the work will start

:06:26.:06:27.

on Castle Street at the end of 018, as agreed with the previous

:06:28.:06:32.

The body of a 40-foot fin whale that washed up on a beach

:06:33.:06:39.

in North Norfolk last week has been removed.

:06:40.:06:41.

Experts had been examining the carcass.

:06:42.:06:44.

Early this morning specialist contractors came to the beach

:06:45.:06:46.

at Holkham to take it away to a rendering plant

:06:47.:06:49.

Typhoon jets from RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire are to be sdnt

:06:50.:06:55.

to Romania as part of Nato operations in the Black Sea area.

:06:56.:06:59.

Up to six aircraft are likely to be based in the south of country

:07:00.:07:02.

from where they will be flyhng missions for Nato.

:07:03.:07:04.

They will be providing what the government describdd

:07:05.:07:07.

as "reassurance" to Britain's allies in the face of increasing

:07:08.:07:11.

In the last three years, Typhoons from RAF Coningsby have

:07:12.:07:18.

been involved in Middle Eastern war zones, flying out to

:07:19.:07:21.

But today's announcement coles in response to what the Minhstry

:07:22.:07:26.

of Defence describes as a "lore assertive Russia" and follows

:07:27.:07:30.

Vladimir Putin's decision to invade the Ukraine in 2014,

:07:31.:07:34.

This is why up to six of RAF Coningsby's Typhoons

:07:35.:07:39.

will fly to Romania for four months next year.

:07:40.:07:43.

The MoD says they will offer reassurance to

:07:44.:07:45.

Nato's Black Sea Allies, including Bulgaria and Turkdy -

:07:46.:07:49.

countries, which like the Ukraine were once under Russian influence.

:07:50.:07:54.

We will deploy RAF Typhoon `ircraft to Romania for the very first time

:07:55.:08:01.

to provide air policing and reassurance for

:08:02.:08:04.

I'm also confirming today that we will be sending

:08:05.:08:09.

a battle group to Estonia, comprising a full British b`ttalion

:08:10.:08:14.

with light armour and French and Danish companies in support

:08:15.:08:25.

What Nato does in the Baltic region and also in the south-east

:08:26.:08:28.

It is proportionate and it hs fully in line with our

:08:29.:08:32.

All of this of course comes just a week after Russia

:08:33.:08:36.

sailed its only aircraft carrier through the English Channel

:08:37.:08:38.

in what some are calling a show of strength to Nato.

:08:39.:08:42.

This could also be part of the decision to send RAF crews

:08:43.:08:44.

from Lincolnshire to Romani` this winter and close

:08:45.:08:47.

The East Yorkshire MP, Sir Greg Knight, has been told

:08:48.:08:54.

the government won't back hhs calls to stop putting the clocks

:08:55.:08:57.

Sir Greg has been a longstanding campaigner against the practice

:08:58.:09:03.

and believes that it's bad for business and is unsafe.

:09:04.:09:09.

Is the leader of the house `ware that in the next few days,

:09:10.:09:12.

we are going to go through the ridiculous ritu`l

:09:13.:09:14.

of putting our clocks back, thereby plunging the nation

:09:15.:09:17.

into darkness and misery by mid-afternoon?

:09:18.:09:21.

Can we look again at the benefits of using summertime in wintdr?

:09:22.:09:25.

It would reduce road accidents and it would boost tourism.

:09:26.:09:28.

As he knows, there was not `greement between different parts

:09:29.:09:32.

of the United Kingdom about the way forward and I do think that

:09:33.:09:36.

on a subject like this, the unity of the United Kingdom

:09:37.:09:40.

and respecting the interests of all parts of the United Kingdom,

:09:41.:09:43.

The government has no plans at the moment to bring forw`rd

:09:44.:09:48.

And the weather forecast with Keeley Donovan

:09:49.:10:07.

More settled weather in the next few days. Cloud will thicken ovdrnight

:10:08.:10:13.

from the north and there will be some small pockets of light rain and

:10:14.:10:18.

drizzle sinking southwards. Temperatures falling back. @ mild

:10:19.:10:22.

night to come. Tomorrow there will be a lot of cloud, some govdrnors at

:10:23.:10:28.

first. For most of Lincolnshire it will struggle to perk up. It will

:10:29.:10:31.

dry up but there will be cloud in the afternoon. Parts of East

:10:32.:10:37.

Yorkshire will see sunshine. Temperatures getting up to `round 40

:10:38.:10:43.

degrees. The settled weather looks set to continue. Drier weather over

:10:44.:10:45.

the weekend but at times, cloudy. Thank you for watching. We `re in

:10:46.:10:56.

Breakfast tomorrow morning. Catches then if you can.

:10:57.:11:00.

fine and dry and on the mild side. My colleague Helen Willetts has with

:11:01.:11:02.

the national picture. Good evening. The dry October

:11:03.:11:12.

weather is set to continue into the weekend. It's been kind if you've

:11:13.:11:16.

been on half term. Not that I'm promising this sort of weather for

:11:17.:11:21.

all. Isn't it lovely, taken on the Isle of Wight. Our top temperature

:11:22.:11:28.

was 17 Celsius, not too far away. What a lovely and to the date here

:11:29.:11:29.
