because it is getting worse. more than one day, a third more than the year before. sarah thinks the police could do more. i hear every day, this has happened, someone has been stabbed. deal with it, this has happened, someone has been stabbed. dealwith it, put strategies in place, changes things. knife amnesty is just one of the police response. we are working really ha rd to police response. we are working really hard to educate young people right across the force that carrying a knife is not the answer. you have dealt with grieving families and we have spoken to some of them and they say the police force is not doing enough. it is disappointing that a grieving family that we have supported as much as we can through very tragic and upsetting circumstances do not feel we are doing enough. we do recognise we have had an increase in knife crime
12:39 am
but we are trying to deal with that, getting nice of the street and bringing people to justice. with these youth club bringing in all of these youth club bringing in all of these guys, i do feel safe in my area because they are out there, helping people. without the youth club, we would be drug dealers and no one ca res club, we would be drug dealers and no one cares but here everyone shows respect and they care about you. no one cares but here everyone shows respect and they care about youm you have a story you would like to tell us, you can contact us on facebook or twitter. coming up... splashing fun we remember the rugby league game that descended into farce. now to the story of a beautiful young woman who posts pictures of herself on instagram to
12:40 am
more than 80,000 followers but the factors a re more than 80,000 followers but the factors are not about fashion or make—up but a statement about her recovery from an eating disorder which has dominated her life since her early teens. 82,000 people are bound to get a new photograph of connie. ijust tried bound to get a new photograph of connie. i just tried to figure bound to get a new photograph of connie. ijust tried to figure out what clothes to wear so my picture today for my instagram depends on what i feeling. ——i am. should posts most days and it is a visual record of her recovery from anorexia. people follow me because i tried to be truthful. so negative sides as well and how hard it is. connie's
12:41 am
blog celebrates the fact that she is still alive. she has struggled with anorexia since she was ten and has been hospitalised three times in nine years. i do not favour shop, i do not use editing on instagram, i do not use editing on instagram, i do comparison photos of our breathing in and out, sitting down, versus standing up, the different ways your body moves. saying all these things are normal and most of these things are normal and most of the population has them at nobody has to look like victoria's secret model of the time. newsflash, you have a body, there is nothing wrong having a body it is completely yours and it is beautiful. everybody is a beautiful so the next time you doubt
12:42 am
it, remember what you know not what you think. her post is a kickback against that body image.” you think. her post is a kickback against that body image. i really like helping people and i think it is important for people going through this realising they are not alone in their struggle. no matter how hard it gets, it can get better. do you feel like giving up sometimes? yes. yes, i do. connie is officially in recovery, a healthy weight and recently discharged but two years ago she almost died. that's from january 200016. i was emergency admitted to saintjames. you seem very, very thin. yes, i was bedridden and stuff like that and i couldn't leave my bed without a wheelchair. here, connie aged 20
12:43 am
weight about as much as a five—year—old child and was sectioned to prevent from starving to death. i was a really low weight. my to death. i was a really low weight. my white blood cells were really low and my heart rate was really low so they put me on the tube feed. i was not taking in any of the chip feed so they put one in my nose. at the back of the bone so you couldn't pull it out. i didn't care about living dying. i just pull it out. i didn't care about living dying. ijust wanted to lose the weight it got to the point where... the only thing that would have been good enough was my heart to stop and that was the only thing that would have satisfied my anorexia. the impact on her family
12:44 am
has been huge. years of visiting hospitals and being powerless to stop the illness. the last thing, two years ago, i went every day at least once and we normally chatted if she was up the —— for talking.” was not a nice person sometimes went i was ill and i did frequently asked him to leave, to get out, which was really lovely. it got worse than that. but i do appreciate you sticking around even though i didn't at the time. i don't think you have at the time. i don't think you have a choice to sick around if your dad. did you think she would die a? twice
12:45 am
a thinkl did you think she would die a? twice a think i did. she has such a strong will and i always sought believed that we'll would turn around and she would fight it. so even at the point where i was told she had a couple of weeks to live unless it is something differently, i did not think i really believed it was going to happen but as the dad did not want to face that. it is the sweets because it turned. so these are your sweets? who bought the sweets if you don't eat them? if you like you should be able to conquer that fear? yeah. are those fears it is for you? which ones are
12:46 am
the most difficult for you? the sweets, processed sugars. the most difficult for you? the sweets, processed sugars. why is it scary? well, it isjust left over from eating disorder. it is a habit that i just so from eating disorder. it is a habit that ijust so consciously that i just so consciously avoid them. what sort of things to you try to eat? milk... which is. god, this is going to be a long list. pizza, pasta, corn, rather, bread, noodles, fish. all those things you have found difficult to it, so now challenged yourself and you have eaten all those things, do they form pa rt eaten all those things, do they form part of your diet generally now? yeah. today, her attitude to food is a bit more relaxed. i enjoy cooking fat people, it seems a bit pointless to spend an hour on a dish if i am just cooking for little old me. she is eating rice and mackerel for lunch, sensible meal, but she would
12:47 am
not eat it in front of us. eating disorders on the rise, anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness, less than half of sufferers will fully recover. during filming, it becomes clear that while generally feeling positive, she does struggle with the recovery and worries that she might relapse. i have asked for further treatment, not to do with my eating disorder but to do with the emotional problems that caused my eating disorder. bat... the nhs does not have enough funding to do that, which is very annoying because it seems like... if i am not starving myself, then no one is taking me seriously. despite her struggles, connie is making huge strides in her recovery. in her last year at leeds at university, she is planning an extraordinary installation for final exhibition. connie has made barbie
12:48 am
and dull pieces out of boiled and coloured sugar. i really interested to see the colour that is starting to see the colour that is starting to come to these, can you talk a bit about your choice of colour palette? i was trying to make them really bright colours, just like the whole concept of that being really appealing and sickly. connie's work is still in the early stages but it will be an ironic twist on the pressures on women to be thin. a lot of young girls's toys to encourage poor body image, and people aspire to be this model like figure. if barbie was a real woman, she would not have half the organ, she would be classed as severely anorexic, if not dead. did that struck a chord with you? yeah, it it was a bit... just ridiculous. i can't help but be struck by connie talent and by
12:49 am
fatalities but it is clear that after ten yea rs, fatalities but it is clear that after ten years, she is still waging an internal battle between happiness and despairand an internal battle between happiness and despair and hope and fear. the fact that i actually feel like i have future is brilliant. i want to not relapse again, that would be really great. i would like to finish university. i am a lot happier than i was, university. i am a lot happier than iwas, and university. i am a lot happier than i was, and a lot more positive than i was, and a lot more positive than iwas in i was, and a lot more positive than i was in the depths of the eating disorder. we get ourfairshare we get ourfair share of we get our fair share of workdays that a neck stories about a particularly soggy one. —— wet days. the final between leeds and their opponent was played. it is that has been finding out why the game has lasted so long in the memory. this weekend saw the opening round of
12:50 am
super league, rugby league's premier competition. 2018 marks my 20th straight season playing for the same club, leeds rhinos. but this year, there is another rugby league anniversary. it is 50 years since one of the wettest major sporting occasions in the history of british sport. wembley, the rugby league cup final, at leeds versus wakefield trinity. 1968, at wembley was poised and ready for what was undoubtedly back then the biggest event of the by back then the biggest event of the rugby calendar, the challenge cup final. the last time they had reached a final at wembley was 1957, wakefield on the other hand had won the trophy in1960, 62 and on the other hand had won the trophy in 1960, 62 and 60 three. the venue, london's empire stadium at wembley. the challenge cup final was always paid in may, and the weather was
12:51 am
always warm in summer by the 1968 final, the heavens opened. wembley was witnessing a soggy, soggyjewel. it was certainly the wettest wembley in history. so much rain fell that day that obvious reasons, it is usually referred to as the watersports final. many said the game should have been called off but with 87,000 people in the ground, most of which had travelled down from yorkshire, the referee said the show must go on. 1968 rugby league challenge cup final... right through between neighbours at leeds and wakefield remains fierce, as i was more than a little bit nervous when i visited the charleston rovers by i visited the charleston rovers rugby league club on the edge of wakefield. i was there to watch the game and the meet some people who rememberthe game and the meet some people who remember the watersports final as if it was yesterday. i would say it was

12:53 am
out of your mouth. but the climax of the water splash fine was still to be told, with the game already deep in injury time, leeds were four points clear. wakefield trinity needed both to try and conversion to win. and surely, there was no time for either. he has got a try, it a try! it's a try! everyonejumped up and thought we had smashed it, how did it feel? did you think we have got this, we have done is?“ did it feel? did you think we have got this, we have done is? if you watch the game, i am jumping up and down. i so embarrassed when i look at it, i am doing this and giving it all this, but that is we felt. without emotional coming out. we we re without emotional coming out. we were just waiting for it to kick—in, it was a formality really. normally, wakefield's goalkicker was it was a formality really. normally, wa kefield's goalkicker was his brother, neil. but he was watching the game from the stands with an injury, so the water splash final
