:00:07. > :00:14.Welcome to Friday's Look North. Having to rely on charity to feed

:00:14. > :00:20.your family. Our research shows a big rise in the number of families

:00:20. > :00:26.having to use food banks. Are the government's policies to blame? If

:00:26. > :00:35.you talk about what has happened to people's pay, it is not good. David

:00:35. > :00:38.Cameron will beginning his response. The young golfer hoping to break

:00:38. > :00:48.through into the big time. Why is his mum hiding in the bushes?

:00:48. > :00:54.And "I didn't get where I am today..." Wider man behind Reggie

:00:54. > :01:07.Perrin and the Two Ronnies is in Yorkshire. —— why the man.

:01:07. > :01:10.And I will be back later in the programme with a full forecast.

:01:10. > :01:14.Research by Look North has discovered the number of food banks

:01:14. > :01:18.in Yorkshire has doubled in the last three years. There are now more than

:01:18. > :01:22.60 offering emergency help in the region — many of the people using

:01:22. > :01:24.the service say the rising cost of living has pushed them into food

:01:24. > :01:27.poverty. Well, the Prime Minister has told

:01:27. > :01:30.tonight's programme the increase is because of better awareness of the

:01:30. > :01:33.help available. We will hear from David Cameron in a minute. First our

:01:33. > :01:39.correspondent Danni Hewson has this exclusive report.

:01:39. > :01:44.More than 150 people queued up for a hot meal on Monday night, not in

:01:44. > :01:52.some war—torn third World country but the centre of Bradford. Among

:01:52. > :01:58.them were families. The first family that came and queued up, I was

:01:58. > :02:03.surprised. It was the whole family. Such is the demand for his soup

:02:03. > :02:07.kitchen, Osman Gondal is expanding. A third service opened in Shipley

:02:07. > :02:12.this week, with more to follow. It is the number of food banks in the

:02:12. > :02:17.region that really tells the story, 65, with 37 opened in the last three

:02:17. > :02:23.years. The simple cost of living is proving too high for many families.

:02:24. > :02:27.Everything has been destroyed due to financial pressure. They keep

:02:27. > :02:32.knocking and knocking to take more from people who don't have anything.

:02:32. > :02:33.Here at St Catherine's Church in Wakefield by have seen a 2000%

:02:34. > :02:44.increase in the number of the rising need, people still find

:02:44. > :02:50.it hard to ask. A typical response of people coming is to be very

:02:50. > :02:55.shamefaced and embarrassed. They really say, I don't know how I have

:02:55. > :02:59.ended up in this place. The reality is that people can end up in

:02:59. > :03:03.financial difficulties very easily. Losing their jobs after working 90

:03:03. > :03:11.years between them was the catalyst that plunged Jean and her husband

:03:11. > :03:15.into financial difficulties. Jean, not her real name, says that she

:03:15. > :03:21.can't tell people because of the stigma and she says it is often

:03:21. > :03:25.portrayed as an easy ride. It is one of those things you have to go

:03:25. > :03:38.through to know what it is like. Sorry... You can't explain it to

:03:38. > :03:42.anybody because... If we could watch out of this house tomorrow and go

:03:42. > :03:47.back to work, that is what we would do. On benefits you don't have a

:03:47. > :03:52.life. The squeeze on living standards doesn't just affect people

:03:52. > :03:58.on benefits. The cost of essentials, not luxuries, the cost of essentials

:03:58. > :04:02.has gone up by 25% over five years. You talk to people about what has

:04:02. > :04:12.paid in their pay, it has not been keeping pace. Even with the much

:04:12. > :04:17.talked of improving economy, people expect the queues to grow for many

:04:17. > :04:29.years to come. Danny macro, what is happening there

:04:29. > :04:37.this evening? —— Danni. In half an hour we are expecting an event where

:04:37. > :04:41.people bring along an —— a meal for themselves and for somebody else who

:04:41. > :04:46.needs one. We expect more of these kinds of things as the weather turns

:04:46. > :04:51.cold. It is in response to growing need and as we have seen in that

:04:51. > :04:58.piece we are all one step away from needing benefits or the charity of

:04:58. > :05:12.others. In the blink of an IR can change. —— and I, are circumstances

:05:12. > :05:17.can change. The growing need can't just the explained away by

:05:17. > :05:20.politicians. We are joined now by our political

:05:20. > :05:27.correspondent. Tim, you have been speaking to the Prime Minister. What

:05:27. > :05:30.has he been saying? I asked him why there has been a big increase in the

:05:30. > :05:36.number of people in Yorkshire using food banks. He knows his critics

:05:36. > :05:41.will say it is as a result of his government's policies, particularly

:05:41. > :05:43.cuts in benefits. He got quite political about it, even when I said

:05:43. > :05:51.it had doubled since government was formed. He said he

:05:51. > :05:54.had inherited the problem from Labour.

:05:54. > :05:58.I think the food bank movement is important because sometimes they

:05:58. > :06:03.really can help people who are struggling and that is why, although

:06:03. > :06:08.it was bad PR, we said to the job centres, if you want to point people

:06:08. > :06:13.towards food banks we will let you, whereas the last government said no.

:06:13. > :06:18.I want to see people in more jobs, keeping more of their money, more

:06:18. > :06:23.people being able to look after themselves and their families and

:06:23. > :06:26.feel they are getting worthwhile pay for a worthwhile job. We are

:06:26. > :06:29.bringing in those reforms but we should not demonise food banks for

:06:29. > :06:36.the good work they do. The number of food banks has doubled in Yorkshire

:06:36. > :06:43.since 2010. What does that tell us about the state of the regional

:06:43. > :06:50.economy? The use of food banks went up ten times and the Labour. They

:06:50. > :06:55.refused to allow job centres to point people towards food banks,

:06:55. > :06:59.they refused to allow them to advertise. I have changed that and I

:06:59. > :07:04.think that is one of the reasons why food bank use has increased. What

:07:04. > :07:09.did David Cameron have to say about the Yorkshire economy? The

:07:09. > :07:13.government is desperate for economic news in our part of the world.

:07:13. > :07:18.Yorkshire has suffered so much during the recession. The latest

:07:18. > :07:25.unemployment figures show a decline in the joblessness nationally but

:07:25. > :07:32.Prime Minister, if the economic recovery is happening much faster in

:07:32. > :07:37.the South than the North? It is early days but if we take Yorkshire

:07:37. > :07:43.and Humberside there are 110,000 more private—sector jobs than ten

:07:43. > :07:49.years ago. There are fewer people claiming unemployment. We are making

:07:49. > :07:54.progress but it is early days. More on the Sunday Politics this weekend,

:07:54. > :07:59.when one of our guests will be the outspoken MP Godfrey Bloom, who made

:07:59. > :08:04.those comments to a roomful of women activists and got himself in hot

:08:04. > :08:09.water. Sunday morning, in 11am, BBC One.

:08:09. > :08:18.Coming up, we look ahead to the big Super League showdown. Can Leeds fly

:08:18. > :08:22.the flag for Yorkshire again? The jury in the trial of a Bradford

:08:22. > :08:25.mother who is accused of allowing her four—year—old son Hamzah to

:08:25. > :08:28.starve to death was told today her eldest son, Tariq, has admitted

:08:28. > :08:31.preventing the lawful burial of his brother.

:08:31. > :08:35.Hamzah is known to have lain dead in his cot for nearly two years before

:08:35. > :08:38.police found his remains in 2011. Amanda Hutton admits child neglect.

:08:38. > :08:45.She denies Hamzah 's manslaughter. Our crime correspondent John Cundy

:08:45. > :08:50.reports. Hamzah Khan died in 2009 in the

:08:50. > :08:53.squalor of his home in Bradford. His mother, Amanda Hutton, claims he

:08:53. > :09:02.died of natural causes. Following a judge told them today but Ms

:09:02. > :09:08.Hutton's eldest son, Tariq, seen at an earlier court hearing, has

:09:08. > :09:16.pleaded guilty to preventing 44 burial of a body, namely that of his

:09:16. > :09:33.brother Hamzah. —— lawful burial. A paediatrician told the court...

:09:33. > :09:40.Doctor Ward said she believed malnutrition had been the root cause

:09:40. > :09:45.of Hamzah's death or though she could not rule out the possibility

:09:45. > :09:49.of pneumonia or infection. She said the postmortem had been so limited

:09:49. > :09:54.because of the condition of the body nearly two years after his death.

:09:54. > :09:59.The evidence came towards the end of the prosecution case at Bradford

:09:59. > :10:01.Crown Court today. The jury has been told that Amanda Hutton will give

:10:01. > :10:08.evidence in her defence from the witness rocks on Monday. —— box.

:10:08. > :10:10.A man from Halifax accused of murdering his partner has been

:10:10. > :10:13.convicted of manslaughter. Adrian Muir met Pamela Jackson on a dating

:10:13. > :10:16.website. The 55—year—old, from County Durham, disappeared in March.

:10:16. > :10:20.Her body was found on moorland near Halifax weeks later. The jury at

:10:20. > :10:23.Newcastle Crown Court was told Adrian Muir fractured her skull

:10:23. > :10:27.following a row at her home. He will be sentenced next week.

:10:27. > :10:31.The former Rotherham MP Denis MacShane is due to stand trial in

:10:31. > :10:36.May next year, accused of making bogus

:10:36. > :10:41.Mr MacShane appeared at the Old Bailey in London, speaking only to

:10:41. > :10:44.confirm his name. He stood down as a Labour MP last year. It is alleged

:10:44. > :10:49.he fraudulently claimed nearly £13,000 for research and translation

:10:49. > :10:52.services. Planning permission has been granted

:10:52. > :10:55.for a multi—million—pound retail development in the centre of Leeds.

:10:55. > :10:58.The Victoria Gate development, which was formerly known as the Eastgate

:10:58. > :11:03.Quarters, will house a new John Lewis and shopping centre. Leeds

:11:03. > :11:10.City Council says the shops will provide 1500 jobs when they open in

:11:10. > :11:14.autumn 2016. Two men from Yorkshire have admitted

:11:14. > :11:17.a string of sexual offences against teenage boys they groomed on the

:11:17. > :11:20.Internet. Anthony Marsh from Hatfield and Lee Davis from

:11:20. > :11:22.Conisbrough pleaded guilty to charges including grooming children

:11:22. > :11:29.for sex online, sexual activity with children and making indecent images

:11:29. > :11:34.of children. Four victims were abused by both men. They will appear

:11:34. > :11:37.in court again in early December. So what can parents do to protect

:11:37. > :11:41.children from online grooming? We are joined now by Tink Palmer, who

:11:41. > :11:50.is an expert in online child protection based in North Yorkshire.

:11:50. > :11:54.You have worked in this for 25 years but particularly technology and how

:11:54. > :12:00.the Internet is opening up this form of abuse. How widespread is it? I

:12:00. > :12:04.think more than we can imagine. Children are not going to tell us

:12:04. > :12:06.what is happening online because they get up to all sorts, as we

:12:06. > :12:14.know, the process of grooming is really

:12:14. > :12:20.important. It is a way of somebody broke friend in them online,

:12:20. > :12:24.somebody they think is a friend who gradually befriends them and isolate

:12:24. > :12:29.them a bit, takes them on to other sites, gets communicating with them,

:12:29. > :12:34.convincing them they are their friend and that is when the abuse

:12:34. > :12:39.aspect is started. You are right that parents and carers often do not

:12:39. > :12:44.know what their children are up to. Children often know more about the

:12:44. > :12:51.Internet. What practical advice is there to stop this? If you don't

:12:51. > :12:56.know all the answers don't be afraid to ask. Always talk to young people

:12:56. > :13:01.about what is happening online, just as you would about what has happened

:13:01. > :13:09.at school. Take an interest. It is no good saying, hide the laptop in

:13:09. > :13:12.the sitting—room, we know everything is now Internet connected and

:13:12. > :13:17.children are walking around with what I call the Internet in their

:13:17. > :13:22.pocket. How are the police and authorities going to keep up to

:13:22. > :13:29.speed? We are all, if we are honest, I think overstretched comedy was all

:13:29. > :13:35.set are not there, and I think we a political issue, as a national and

:13:35. > :13:40.international policy, because we are going to have two review how we

:13:40. > :13:48.police and safeguard our children on the UK and across the world.

:13:48. > :13:52.find solutions. Before seven o'clock we will be

:13:52. > :14:12.getting some tips from the man who gave this check list in newsreading.

:14:12. > :14:21.HE SPEAKS NONSENSE. We also have your last chance to see

:14:21. > :14:28.Allard out on its many course this year. —— mal large.

:14:28. > :14:31.Super League now, and we went into the semifinals with the tantalising

:14:31. > :14:34.prospect of an all—Yorkshire final. All that was needed was for

:14:34. > :14:38.Huddersfield to beat Warrington last night and for Leeds to do the same

:14:38. > :14:41.to Wigan when they meet in a few hours. Easy, right? Joe Inwood takes

:14:41. > :14:47.a look. Two teams, two semifinals and two

:14:47. > :14:54.Lancashire hurdles in the way of an all Yorkshire season finale. Up

:14:54. > :14:58.first, Huddersfield against Warrington and the Wolves went in

:14:58. > :15:04.thinking they could make it four wins out of four against the Giants.

:15:04. > :15:13.It looked like it from the start but Huddersfield did not win the league

:15:13. > :15:18.by accident. But Warrington were soon back at them. Three tries and

:15:18. > :15:27.they were 14 points ahead, but the Giants were far from down. With

:15:27. > :15:31.under ten minutes left on the clock on the Dale Ferguson somehow found a

:15:31. > :15:37.way through, pulling them within two points. As Huddersfield pushed for

:15:37. > :15:46.the win, they were caught out at the back. Huddersfield committed the

:15:46. > :15:55.worst error you can commit in rugby, letting a ball bounce. It finished

:15:55. > :16:03.30—24, a good season ended with a valiant performance. RF that was

:16:03. > :16:12.unquestionable. —— our effort was unquestionable. Again it fell to the

:16:12. > :16:16.rhinos to represent Yorkshire. They faced the Wigan Warriors. Leeds have

:16:16. > :16:22.won the final six times now and they know that half the battle is in the

:16:22. > :16:26.mind. We need to sacrifice ourselves for each other and make sure it is

:16:26. > :16:38.one of the best team performances of this year to get over Wigan. In the

:16:38. > :16:42.past the rhinos' charge to the Grand Final has been hard to stop.

:16:42. > :16:45.Meanwhile, in the Championship, the Sheffield Eagles are preparing to

:16:45. > :16:49.face the Batley Bulldogs in the Grand Final this Sunday. It is a big

:16:49. > :16:52.occasion for both sides, badly hoping to break the recent dominance

:16:52. > :16:55.of Featherstone and the Eagles, while Sheffield

:16:55. > :16:58.home. —— Batley. In a moment we will hear from

:16:58. > :17:01.Bulldogs coach John Kear, but first Mark Aston gave his assessment as he

:17:01. > :17:07.headed for a function. It is a fantastic occasion. We have

:17:07. > :17:13.been in it for the last couple of years. We lost one to win one last

:17:13. > :17:19.year and now we are one of the first ones to go back to back. It has been

:17:19. > :17:27.a bit of a cartel, a closed shop, we have knocked on the doors of finals

:17:27. > :17:32.and now we need to kick the door down.

:17:32. > :17:36.And of course you can follow all the rugby league action on BBC Leeds.

:17:36. > :17:39.That is 774 AM and on DAB. And a little bit on the late

:17:39. > :17:42.bulletin tonight. Cricket now, and Yorkshire somehow

:17:43. > :17:45.managed to draw with Surrey in their four—day County Championship test.

:17:46. > :17:48.The home side declared on a massive 634—5 in their first innings. In

:17:49. > :17:52.reply, Yorkshire looked in serious trouble, at oine point 21—3. But an

:17:52. > :17:57.unbeaten century from Gary Ballance tracked them to safety. —— dragged.

:17:57. > :18:00.They finished on 265—6, a draw. We all know top sportsmen and women

:18:00. > :18:04.need nerves of steel when competing at the highest level, but what about

:18:04. > :18:06.their parents? One mum from Pontefract has certainly been

:18:06. > :18:19.through the emotions today, watching her son compete in a major golf

:18:19. > :18:21.tournament in Leeds. Moor Allerton Golf Club, home of

:18:21. > :18:24.Paul Hudson and Geoffrey Boycott, hosted the EuroPro event for

:18:24. > :18:26.up—and—coming golfers. I went along as the competition reached its

:18:26. > :18:33.climax. Not a Paul Hudson differed in sight.

:18:33. > :18:37.Moor Allerton has never looked better. We picked on on the leader

:18:37. > :18:44.Dan Gavin 's, supported by his mum, but she is not allowed to get too

:18:44. > :18:50.close. It is a bit tense because your son,

:18:50. > :18:58.Gavin, is joint leader. —— your son, Dan. He has done really well this

:18:58. > :19:03.year, he is lying in second place on the order of merit. We hope he will

:19:03. > :19:08.make it to the next tour next year. There is a strict rule in your

:19:08. > :19:14.family that you are not to be seen. If you dart off I will understand

:19:14. > :19:20.it. What will he be thinking, he is joint leader, £10,000 first prize?

:19:20. > :19:24.He has been there before so hopefully he will know how to deal

:19:24. > :19:29.with it. He has a psychologist who has been fantastic with him. I think

:19:29. > :19:34.you had better go because he is going to come over the hill.

:19:34. > :19:38.He played some inspired golf on his way to equalling the course record.

:19:38. > :19:49.A birdie here with mum hiding in the trees. Staging the competition is a

:19:49. > :19:53.real coup for the club. It is fantastic to have the

:19:53. > :19:57.tournament back here. We have had people like Seve Ballesteros playing

:19:57. > :20:00.this course so to have the up—and—coming players is fantastic.

:20:00. > :20:11.I suppose it is even better you are coming back next year. Yes,

:20:11. > :20:17.the course has been fantastic. We have a package already for next

:20:17. > :20:23.year. The last hole, the pressure hits Dan, a birdie for a new course

:20:23. > :20:29.record. Sadly, only a par, but what a round of golf.

:20:29. > :20:34.Is it your full—time life now? Yeah. I used to work at the weekend but

:20:34. > :20:39.now I just play golf. That must be thanks to your parents as well. I

:20:39. > :20:42.can't thank them enough, they have supported me all my life playing

:20:42. > :20:49.golf. They have been there all the time for me. OK, time to come out

:20:49. > :20:54.now, mum. He lost in the play—off, can you

:20:54. > :20:58.believe? It is a case of Little and large at

:20:58. > :21:00.one of the region's biggest rail shows this weekend. The model

:21:00. > :21:09.railway exhibition at Barrow Hill Live in Chesterfield has a very

:21:09. > :21:16.special guest. Mallard competes its tour from the National Railway

:21:16. > :21:23.musician. Tom Ingall is there. —— National Railway Museum.

:21:24. > :21:31.We have Tornado here, the brand—new steam locomotive. We also have the

:21:31. > :21:36.mighty B—1, humble workhorse just after the war. It probably took your

:21:36. > :21:42.grandparents on holiday. The one they have been talking about all

:21:43. > :21:52.year, in fact since 1938, is the world record holder, 126 mph, never

:21:52. > :21:59.beaten. Mallard, it wowed the crowds at Grantham, at Doncaster, and now

:21:59. > :22:02.Barrow Hill Live outside Chesterfield, where it will stand in

:22:03. > :22:10.front of this real surviving engine shed. It looks the part. Moving this

:22:10. > :22:15.locomotive around all summer takes some dedication and some working

:22:15. > :22:18.out. The man who has done it is with me. What was it like when the

:22:18. > :22:24.National Railway Museum said you could take it on tour? It was a

:22:24. > :22:33.scary challenge but a great honour. Has she behaved herself? She has

:22:33. > :22:43.indeed. What else can people see this weekend? We have Tornado,

:22:43. > :22:50.Mallard the B—1. You have some fantastic models around the corner.

:22:50. > :22:54.Yes, something for all ages. Can I show you one more thing. Despite the

:22:54. > :23:03.size and glamour of the Mallard, this one could be the steam sealer

:23:03. > :23:08.—— the scene stealer. This has not been in service for 60 years but it

:23:08. > :23:19.has returned to the rails. Perhaps the happiest reporter in the

:23:19. > :23:24.UK tonight! David Nobbs has written sketches for

:23:24. > :23:32.people like Ken Dodd and The two Ronnies.

:23:32. > :23:37.Tonight he takes to the stage in a tour around Yorkshire in his one—man

:23:38. > :23:43.show. David Nobbs is the man who helped

:23:43. > :23:50.make The two Ronnies funny, making much loved sketches that have become

:23:50. > :24:01.TV classics. You might recognise the Miss wreck

:24:01. > :24:10.could —— mispronunciation sketch. There was another one, and appeal on

:24:10. > :24:14.the half of somebody who says everything twice. He said, it was

:24:14. > :24:22.very embarrassing in Baden—Baden Baden—Baden. Now the Queen, smiling

:24:22. > :24:27.radiantly, is swimming for her life. It started off with David Frost, I

:24:27. > :24:31.phoned up with an idea for That Was The Week That Was. Reaction Lee sent

:24:31. > :24:39.a taxi and that was how I got started. —— he actually sent. I was

:24:39. > :24:46.quite moved. Tonight he will be on the stage for the first time sharing

:24:46. > :24:54.stories from his career. This show is in a way a love affair, a

:24:54. > :25:06.affair with Yorkshire and with comedy. I was forced into comedy,

:25:06. > :25:09.and there is also my name. He asked me what was my name and I told him

:25:09. > :25:16.and I said, don't speak to me like that. You have just been doing the

:25:16. > :25:23.audio books of The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin. Yes, sometimes I

:25:23. > :25:28.giggled so much I had to stop. You are not a Yorkshireman but Yorkshire

:25:28. > :25:37.is your home. Performing to a Yorkshire audience must be quite

:25:37. > :25:42.special. It will be. A lot of laughter and perhaps some thought

:25:42. > :25:46.about the world needing comedy. Good luck for the one—man show, it has

:25:46. > :25:50.been a pleasure to meet you. Let's move on to the weather specs.

:25:50. > :26:04.—— prospects. We have had a beautiful day across

:26:04. > :26:08.the county. Tomorrow, sunshine again but with a breeze. You can see a

:26:08. > :26:11.ridge of high pressure on the chart. Probably until the middle or

:26:11. > :26:17.end of next week we should have a lot of dry and bright weather but

:26:17. > :26:21.quite breezy. The isobars are quite tightly packed. Through the course

:26:21. > :26:25.of the day some beautiful spells of sunshine, temperatures up to 19. It

:26:25. > :26:33.will continue to break as fine evening with some patchy

:26:33. > :26:39.cloud, long clear spells. We might get some shallow mist down the Vale

:26:39. > :26:43.of —— Vale of York. Temperatures in double figures for some town and

:26:43. > :26:51.cities but in the countryside as low as five or six. The sun will rise in

:26:51. > :26:56.the morning at two minutes past seven, setting at around ten minutes

:26:56. > :27:01.to seven. Your next high water at Filey will be around 20 minutes to

:27:01. > :27:04.midnight. Tomorrow morning, apart from a bit of shallow mist, it will

:27:04. > :27:11.be a fine start, plenty of sunshine. Long, lengthy spells of

:27:11. > :27:18.sunshine, staying dry but quite easy out there. The coast will be where

:27:19. > :27:25.it feels coolest. In the sunshine it will feel pleasant but around 15, 16

:27:25. > :27:31.degrees, the seasonal average. Down the Vale of York we could get 18

:27:31. > :27:36.degrees, 19 possibly in Leeds. Another pleasant day on Sunday,

:27:36. > :27:46.breezy air still and a bit more cloud on Monday and Tuesday.
