Welcome to Look North and on the programme tonight... Killing our

:00:04.:00:08.

sea—life with plastic — a BBC investigation reveals just how

:00:08.:00:11.

damaging the man—made litter really is and not just to birds and marine

:00:11.:00:21.

life. When it is broken down becomes micro—plastic and it gets into birds

:00:21.:00:27.

and fish and inside us. It is a disaster.

:00:27.:00:29.

Also tonight... Wakefield becomes the first city in Yorkshire to allow

:00:29.:00:33.

super—strength booze to be banned from shop shelves.

:00:33.:00:35.

And find out later what this streetlight, this litter bin and

:00:35.:00:38.

this square postbox all have in common with Yorkshire!

:00:38.:00:45.

It has been a very unsettled start with some thunderstorms. It was

:00:45.:00:51.

looking very dirk earlier this afternoon but what is the week ahead

:00:51.:01:08.

looking like? Find out later on. First tonight, a warning that the

:01:08.:01:11.

amount of plastic waste in the sea is not only posing a risk to marine

:01:11.:01:17.

life, but it could also be getting into the human food chain. A study

:01:17.:01:19.

by a leading marine expert shows that as plastic waste breaks down,

:01:19.:01:22.

it's consumed by fish and other sea creatures which means there's a good

:01:22.:01:26.

chance that we're eating it as well. The BBC's Inside Out programme has

:01:26.:01:29.

been investigating this problem and looking at how it's being dealt with

:01:29.:01:32.

here in Yorkshire. Phil Bodmer reports. The spectacular Europe

:01:32.:01:41.

share coastline has become a damping ground for waste with plastic than

:01:41.:01:45.

the culprit. —— Europe should coastline. These volunteers help

:01:45.:01:53.

clean—up. Will have on this for around 20 years and the main reason

:01:53.:01:57.

we do that is to try and collect data on what we are finding. 70% of

:01:57.:02:05.

litter found this plastic and when it is broken down, it can be

:02:05.:02:11.

mistaken for food by fish. This money expert husband died and

:02:11.:02:15.

will's oceans for 40 years and he believes plastic waste is an

:02:15.:02:21.

increasing problem. Look at this traffic in and you do realise that

:02:21.:02:26.

inside is another huge plastic bag full of sand and this is incredibly

:02:26.:02:29.

hazardous to the environment. —— traffic cone. Researchers think that

:02:29.:02:38.

every one of these birds will have plastic stomachs and experts say it

:02:38.:02:41.

is causing many of them to start to death. Look at this. It would have

:02:41.:02:50.

anonymous effect on my help. The women research centres are lots of

:02:50.:02:52.

plastic is desirable into human eye. There are attempting to

:02:52.:02:59.

address the problem and it took to appear in direct is introduced by

:02:59.:03:04.

2016 will encourage people to clean—up. —— directives. I have

:03:04.:03:11.

joined by the presenter of the programme Paul Rose. It was a really

:03:11.:03:19.

beautiful scene and search a dent. Yes, I warned the story of these

:03:19.:03:25.

birds and they have a feeding habit which means they can plastic. It

:03:25.:03:29.

brought it home in such a powerful way. They can —— they consume

:03:29.:03:37.

plastic. When I cut that first bird open, to see the large bits of

:03:37.:03:42.

plastic popping out of it, it stopped me cold. You spent a

:03:42.:03:47.

lifetime diving and you have seen a big increase in plastic. Where is it

:03:47.:03:53.

coming from? It is coming from us. It is such an essential product and

:03:53.:03:58.

we love it but we still have not worked out what to do with that

:03:58.:04:01.

women are finished with that. Sadly, a ladder that goes in the

:04:01.:04:06.

sea. You can see the damage of dollars. The film is fantastic and

:04:06.:04:10.

the bit I liked was the clean—up operation in Scarborough beach that

:04:10.:04:16.

YouTube partum. What did you do? Walked along and it was clean beach

:04:16.:04:21.

and every single step you can pick up a piece of plastic bag, a piece

:04:21.:04:28.

of the bottle. Profound lack —— large bits of horrible rope and

:04:28.:04:33.

chain and we joked kept —— just kept finding things and then one hour I

:04:33.:04:42.

collected nine kilos of waste plus an enormous large plastic cable. It

:04:42.:04:46.

is local people and something in the region and it has a global impact.

:04:46.:04:52.

And talking of local areas you've visited a bird colony near

:04:52.:04:56.

Bridlington. What was amazing was the way those words —— birds were

:04:56.:05:01.

nesting. It says allot about our relationship with the animals. The

:05:01.:05:07.

gannets fly a long way and they died very deeply but what they pick up is

:05:07.:05:16.

often plastic. —— a lot. It is a beautiful colony of birds and it

:05:16.:05:21.

says allot about the energy. When you look closely with binoculars

:05:21.:05:25.

every single one of them has amassed made of plastic. It was in no —— an

:05:25.:05:33.

emotional moment. There is a good chance this is making it into the

:05:33.:05:36.

food chain but what is being done to tackle it? People are becoming more

:05:36.:05:44.

aware that in 2016 is a new European direct which means we have to be

:05:44.:05:47.

legally more responsible when we handle plastic waste and between now

:05:47.:05:52.

and then we must take the wrecked action and take responsibility for

:05:52.:06:01.

the plastic waste. —— direct action. Astro message and the fantastic

:06:01.:06:14.

film. Thank you. And you can see more on this

:06:14.:06:18.

on Inside Out on BBC One tonight at 7.30PM.

:06:18.:06:24.

A new scheme, aimed at tackling alcohol abuse in Wakefield, has been

:06:24.:06:27.

approved today by the district's council. Under the plan,

:06:27.:06:30.

off—licences will voluntarily remove super—strength products from their

:06:30.:06:32.

shelves. The council says it's part of a wider strategy that will be

:06:32.:06:36.

good for everyone but others have questioned whether shops will

:06:36.:06:38.

sign—up and whether problem drinkers will be deterred. Joe Inwood went to

:06:38.:06:42.

meet one man who says higher prices wouldn't have stopped his problem. I

:06:42.:06:45.

was deceitful, I was a thief and the just leached of people. Whoever I

:06:45.:06:50.

came into contact with I was thinking about satisfying this

:06:50.:06:57.

need, this craving that I had. Only alcohol could take that away. I'd

:06:57.:07:01.

like stories like this that the proposals are aiming to tackle. The

:07:01.:07:07.

proposals are voluntary and it would see local off—licences take product

:07:07.:07:11.

like these of the shelves. While acknowledging it is not a total

:07:11.:07:16.

solution, experts say it will make a difference. Retailers will

:07:16.:07:21.

experience less anti—social behaviour. It will be good for the

:07:21.:07:26.

local people because they will see less anti—social behaviour on the

:07:26.:07:30.

street stop ultimately it is good for people with alcohol problems. It

:07:30.:07:36.

is not the principles but the practicalities that are different.

:07:36.:07:42.

On bigger retailers are involved, smaller numbers say they cannot

:07:42.:07:48.

afford to react. With a big supermarkets lead, little retailers

:07:48.:07:51.

will follow. We must follow the lead. We cannot afford to lose

:07:51.:07:56.

custom because if we cannot sell them, people will go to the big

:07:56.:08:04.

supermarkets. But for Frances, with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous who

:08:04.:08:10.

has been sober for three decades, the proposals mean more than not. If

:08:10.:08:16.

the price had tripled over did still paid it. I would have proved more of

:08:16.:08:25.

my own. It did not stop me. I would have sounded from somewhere and I

:08:25.:08:29.

would've found the money —— found the money from somewhere. While some

:08:29.:08:37.

people say removing the super—strength alcohol from the

:08:37.:08:40.

shelves will not solve the problem, the local council says it is a step

:08:40.:08:51.

in the right direction. Police have named a Halifax man who

:08:52.:08:55.

died in an accident in the Lake District over the weekend.

:08:55.:08:57.

67—year—old Christopher Connell fell around 100 feet in woodland near

:08:58.:09:00.

Keswick on Saturday afternoon. His family has been informed and the

:09:01.:09:04.

details have been passed to the coroner. Police say there are no

:09:04.:09:09.

suspicious circumstances. The Sheffield Wednesday footballer

:09:09.:09:11.

Gary Madine has denied punching a man unconscious in a city centre

:09:11.:09:15.

nightclub in March last year. Giving evidence for his defence in his

:09:15.:09:18.

trial at Leeds, Mr Madine said he had been speaking to the man

:09:18.:09:21.

concerned in the Viper Room earlier and had seen him being hit. But Mr

:09:21.:09:25.

Madine said he had definitely not been the attacker. The striker

:09:25.:09:28.

denies a further charge of causing grievous bodily harm to another

:09:28.:09:31.

clubgoer in the Paris Bar in Sheffield five weeks earlier.

:09:31.:09:40.

A football fan accused of punching a West Yorkshire police horse has

:09:40.:09:43.

denied violent disorder. 45—year—old Barry Rogerson from Northumberland

:09:43.:09:46.

was charged after trouble flared up when Newcastle United lost 3—0 at

:09:46.:09:48.

home against their arch—rivals Sunderland in April. The horse

:09:48.:09:51.

called Bud, of West Yorkshire's mounted section, didn't suffer any

:09:51.:09:54.

lasting harm. Rogerson was granted bail by magistrates and will appear

:09:54.:09:57.

at Newcastle Crown Court later this month.

:09:57.:10:05.

An agreement's been signed which will see nearly 97% of homes and

:10:05.:10:08.

businesses in West Yorkshire get super—fast broadband. Leeds,

:10:08.:10:10.

Bradford, Calderdale and Wakefield Councils have agreed to help roll

:10:10.:10:14.

the scheme out to areas that weren't originally covered in BT's plans.

:10:14.:10:17.

The project which will cost almost £22 million should see faster

:10:17.:10:20.

internet speeds across the county by autumn 2015. Later in the programme.

:10:20.:10:31.

A reporter was in a picturesque village district. Some campaigners

:10:31.:10:43.

in the spillage at campaigning but the landlord says it is not the best

:10:43.:10:55.

way forward for the pub. The high—speed rail project HS2 has

:10:55.:10:58.

come under fire from MPs. The scheme's due to provide superfast

:10:58.:11:01.

trains linking London to Leeds and Sheffield in 20 years' time. The

:11:01.:11:04.

Public Accounts Committee says spiralling costs are jeopardising

:11:04.:11:07.

any benefits of the project. It also claims that the Government's case is

:11:07.:11:10.

based on "fragile numbers" and "out of date data", makes "assumptions

:11:10.:11:13.

which do not reflect real life" and has "no evidence it would aid

:11:13.:11:16.

regional economies". So what's been the reaction to that report here in

:11:16.:11:24.

Yorkshire? Here's Emma Glasbey. It will be in Europe sure in 20 years

:11:24.:11:29.

time. That's if it goes to plan for the government. But today the

:11:29.:11:34.

arguments about a chest to have erupted again. —— in Berkshire.

:11:34.:11:40.

Experts say the benefits are dwindling as costs spiral. Gordon

:11:40.:11:46.

lives in Windows spurred next to where the high—speed relying

:11:46.:11:49.

would—be. He is trying to sell his home. We have had a few people come

:11:49.:12:00.

round and normally we would have sold it. I have had to reduce my

:12:00.:12:05.

property price and it is still not selling. People's livelihoods are

:12:05.:12:08.

being affected and the government is not helping. There is plenty of

:12:08.:12:13.

opposition from the thick villages like this one but the transport

:12:13.:12:18.

secretary argues that High—Speed two is vitally important for places like

:12:18.:12:23.

Leeds and Sheffield. He says we need to attract businesses to cities in

:12:23.:12:27.

Berkshire and to do that, we need new connections. —— Europe sure.

:12:27.:12:50.

Real needs to be very competitive and do not think upgrading the

:12:50.:12:55.

current network is sufficient. If we want to be up there in the top ten

:12:55.:13:03.

we have to be as good. Residence are planning to appeal to councillors

:13:03.:13:17.

face—to—face later this week. Campaigners who fought to save their

:13:17.:13:20.

village pub from being sold are celebrating this evening after the

:13:20.:13:23.

deal was blocked, clearing the way for them to buy it. Villagers in

:13:23.:13:26.

Bamford in the Peak District feared the Angler's Rest would close and be

:13:26.:13:30.

converted to flats but now the owner has agreed to sell to them. However

:13:30.:13:33.

the existing landlord says they won't be able to make a success of

:13:34.:13:38.

it. Dan Johnson is there for us now. It has been a long campaign to save

:13:38.:13:41.

this pub and there are celebrations in this village tonight although not

:13:41.:13:44.

here. The campaigners who fought to save that has been —— say it has

:13:44.:13:49.

been a test case to prove that communities would be able to save

:13:49.:13:53.

their local pub, but it has also local —— opened up some deep

:13:53.:14:00.

divisions within the community. Some people say winning this pub in the

:14:00.:14:03.

future is not the best way of safeguarding its future. Down to

:14:03.:14:09.

work planning their next move, these campaigners fought long and hard to

:14:09.:14:13.

stop the pub being sold and they have allowed themselves a brief

:14:13.:14:17.

celebration. We were absolutely delighted, it was unbelievable to be

:14:17.:14:22.

a must. Some of us were thinking of was a joke, you know, it was

:14:22.:14:28.

fantastic. Instrument —— statement, the owner said it is clear the local

:14:28.:14:33.

community feel passionately about taking ownership of the pub.

:14:33.:14:39.

Consequently in the days since the original sale was agreed at the end

:14:39.:14:42.

of August and in the wake of considerable campaigning by the

:14:42.:14:45.

community, we have worked to rescind the sale agreement. However the

:14:45.:14:51.

existing tenant landlord says not everyone in the village supports the

:14:51.:14:53.

plan and he feels they will not be able to run the pub successfully. I

:14:53.:14:58.

think within the year, they will realise they cannot make it because

:14:58.:15:04.

you have got electricity, you have got gas, you have got all of this

:15:04.:15:10.

and all of the council tax, all of that. You have to start refurbishing

:15:10.:15:16.

because you have to change the Windows, you have to get rid of the

:15:16.:15:23.

dam, it is an investment. —— you have to get rid of the damp. It puts

:15:23.:15:30.

the pressure back on and it is up to you to put your money where your

:15:30.:15:36.

mouth is. Can you do it? It is a small community and we have to step

:15:36.:15:42.

up to the multi—million pound challenge. It shows how determined

:15:42.:15:48.

we are to make the project work and I think we can definitely make a

:15:48.:15:55.

success of it. The pub will become a community pub even of the village

:15:55.:15:57.

remains divided. Campaigners see this as it triumph of the community

:15:57.:16:02.

over commerce and they should start pulling their first point in

:16:02.:16:08.

November. Plenty of work to be done before

:16:08.:16:13.

then and the campaign group say they want to invite everyone here. The

:16:13.:16:18.

plan to put a down one end, served food through the day and they want

:16:18.:16:21.

to put a post office in here as well. They are celebrating this

:16:21.:16:26.

victory tonight. They say they have saved the pub for the community. In

:16:26.:16:30.

any of the regulars feel this is not the right way forward on the group

:16:30.:16:34.

does not represent the people who use the pub and will keep it alive.

:16:34.:16:39.

They were happy for the planned sale which was due to have gone ahead, to

:16:39.:16:47.

have gone ahead. Buy them a pint! They are ignoring you. I cannot

:16:47.:16:57.

afford one! By Matt before 7pm, the streets paved with gold, we tell you

:16:57.:17:01.

how all these things have a Europe sure connection. —— Yorkshire

:17:01.:17:12.

connection. I did something I have not done in years. I went to look

:17:12.:17:16.

but while much standing up and I was in the wrong end of the ground. Can

:17:16.:17:22.

is a the things that you do to keep the boss happy are beyond me! Not a

:17:22.:17:38.

good afternoon. It's an interesting time for

:17:38.:17:41.

Sheffield United fans and their club. Chairman Kevin McCabe

:17:41.:17:43.

announced details of a new co—owner last week. And Saudi Arabian Prince

:17:43.:17:47.

Abdullah was in South Yorkshire on Saturday for the derby against

:17:47.:17:50.

Rotherham. I caught up with him ahead of the game and you're warned

:17:50.:17:53.

this report does contain some flash photography. While now and why

:17:53.:17:55.

Sheffield United? I love English well. I have been a fan for years. I

:17:55.:18:02.

wanted to invest in a championship team and take them forward. When

:18:02.:18:10.

Kevin met me and talk to me about the history of the club the more I

:18:10.:18:16.

read about it the more I like that. I am here now. He could have sold me

:18:16.:18:26.

half of the club for £1. I have to invest a good amount of money.

:18:26.:18:35.

Because Arab names are suited to get back to the Premier league. —— our

:18:35.:18:49.

aims. It is undoubtedly a big step forward. Agents, even the fans will

:18:49.:18:54.

be expecting you to go out and splash the cash. That is not the

:18:54.:19:04.

case. We will work hard. We will have enough money and we need the

:19:04.:19:09.

support of the fans but we are very optimistic about the investment. The

:19:09.:19:17.

keys sustainability. If we don't get promoted from league one, it's not

:19:17.:19:25.

going to be a straightforward line, there will be ups and downs and you

:19:25.:19:30.

must be with that. You must adapt your plans and be close to the team

:19:30.:19:43.

and do what is necessary. Off the pitch, there's renewed hope

:19:44.:19:47.

for Sheffield United, but what about on the field? They made the short

:19:47.:19:51.

trip to Rotherham on Saturday for a South Yorkshire derby that see—sawed

:19:51.:19:54.

one way, then the other. Ian Bucknell has more. Quick thinking

:19:54.:19:56.

and quick feet so it Sheffield United slipped through the defence

:19:56.:19:59.

and take the lead. But the Rotherham manager shuffled his pack at

:19:59.:20:08.

half—time pulling out an ace. A late challenge gave this penalty and it

:20:08.:20:14.

was a vicious strike. The comeback was complete when Robert Wilson

:20:14.:20:19.

picked out the bottom corner. Rotherham triumphed 3—1. It is not

:20:19.:20:29.

one for the squeamish. That cannot be comfortable. The goalkeeper was

:20:29.:20:34.

sent off and Bradford ran away with the game. James Meredith made the

:20:34.:20:41.

cross and after half—time, came the gift. Derek Thompson completed the

:20:41.:20:49.

aerial assault. The great start to the season continues.

:20:49.:20:56.

Chesterfield's March —— Mark Richardson showed some fancy

:20:56.:21:01.

footwork. Accrington followed up and they are no two points clear in the

:21:01.:21:08.

league. Weak defending let Wimbledon in and the men from Munster

:21:08.:21:25.

disappointed in the performance. Last week we told you about the bid

:21:25.:21:29.

to include squash as an Olympic sport in 2020, with support from

:21:29.:21:32.

Yorkshire's top players. But the International Olympic Committee has

:21:32.:21:35.

now voted for wrestling to make a return. It means squash and baseball

:21:35.:21:38.

won't be a part of the games, which will be held in Tokyo.

:21:38.:21:43.

The Super League Dream Team was unveiled in Huddersfield today and

:21:43.:21:46.

with good reason. No fewer than five Huddersfield Giants players have

:21:46.:21:49.

been named in this year's elite 13. Brett Ferres, Eorl Crabtree, Leroy

:21:49.:21:52.

Cudjoe, Danny Brough and Shaun Lunt have all been recognised after their

:21:52.:21:55.

club lifted the League Leaders Shield.

:21:55.:22:00.

And a reminder that you can watch the Super League Show on BBC One

:22:00.:22:09.

tonight at 11:35PM. Aston Villa striker Gabriel

:22:10.:22:12.

Agbonlahor is to apologise to the One Direction star Louis Tomlinson

:22:12.:22:16.

for a tackle that left him sick on the touchline. He was playing in a

:22:16.:22:20.

charity match at Celtic Park when he was knocked to the ground. He was

:22:20.:22:23.

forced to leave the field but his "manager for the day" Martin O'Neill

:22:23.:22:27.

said he was OK afterwards. Louis is from South Yorkshire and has signed

:22:27.:22:30.

for Doncaster Rovers on a non—contract basis. And you happen

:22:30.:22:42.

worried about him but he OK. I must apologise because the fans will be

:22:42.:22:52.

up in arms. What do these things have in common?

:22:52.:22:56.

Yes, they are items that we see on the street every day but they were

:22:56.:23:00.

also all the brainchildren of one man

:23:00.:23:04.

who died four years ago, started as a silversmith but ended up designing

:23:04.:23:06.

many items of so—called street furniture which have become familiar

:23:06.:23:09.

sights throughout Britain. Now his work is going on show in a new

:23:09.:23:13.

can't believe you are still standing. These are some pictures

mist and fog. The last one that shows some threatening skies to the

your pictures coming in. For tomorrow, there will be some fog

Elsewhere, after a dry and bright start it will gradually cloud over
