thank you for your company. now on bbc news, inside out report on the growing problem of knife crime. good evening. this week, the young people trying to stop my crime in their keen unity and the women using social media to help others battling eating disorders. —— in their community. hello, i'm keeley donovan. this week we're in leeds. coming up on the programme: a year since the death of teenager, irfan wahid, the young people still living in fear of knife crime. do you still carry a knife now? no, not really. n ot really 7 also tonight, the woman battling an eating disorder but trying to inspire others to be healthy. being hot wasn't good enough. the only thing that would've been good enough is if my heart stopped. that's the only thing that would've satisfied my anorexia. and later in the programme, like a duck to water, looking back at one of the most notorious sports finals of all time.

archive: it was certainly the wettest wembley in history. in some areas, living with the threat of knife crime has become an everyday reality and one that gets vastly underreported. next week marks a year since 16—year—old irfan wahid was stabbed and killed in harehills, leeds. our reporter, tracey gee, has been speaking to people, including members of irfan's family, who are determined to change things for the better. some people feel like they can't be safe in harehills. around the streets, there's loads of crime and that and you need to protect yourself. you can't really trust anyone, really now, can you? i have reported on many murder cases, knife crime incidents and stabbings, but i get to go home afterwards and you are saddened by the loss of life,

but imagine if that's your home, that's your reality, that's your family. harehills, east leeds, is home for the boys at this youth club. boys who used to be out on the street, some with a blade in their pocket. screwdrivers, little table knives, anything that was sharp, to be honest, anything that could protect me from anyone else. why did you carry it? because it made me feel safe, that's what it was. it made me feel like a bigger person but, when i think about it now, it was stupid. everything changed on the 10th of february, last year, when theirfriend, irfan wahid, was stabbed and killed. the 17—year—old attacker said he carried a knife for his own protection. he is now serving time for manslaughter. when it is someone that you know, it gets to you. so you understand what could happen and the consequences. they set up this youth club in the wake of irfan wahid's death.

one of the leaders had a personal reason for doing this — irfan was his cousin. the person you grew up with, who you shared most of your life with...it‘s... it is pretty shocking. it upsets me every day. till this day, i still think harehills could be safer. i helped push kids off the street and bring them to here. i do not want one of theirfamily, or one of their friends to pass away. i wouldn't let my worst enemy feel the pain i felt. i would not wish it upon anyone. yeah, we've got over 60 young people now attending... they brought most of the boys into the youth club by walking the streets and talking to them. the lads come to us because we are part of the community as well and they are not shy to talk to us. some of the young people they come across are growing

up in a culture where everyday objects, like these, are being used as weapons. two of the boys who go to this club spent time in youth offenders institutions for possessing a blade. no one could fight with their fists, there's all these knives, hammers, and all sorts around. you say no one has a fight any more without a weapon? no one. what sort of things are we talking? knives and hammers, screwdrivers. at one point, do you know what i did? basically, i was in the classroom and you know the sharpeners, like, there's this blade part, i used to take that out and keep it in my pocket. you mean you were at school? yeah. do you still carry a knife now? not really. n ot really ? obviously, if i feel i may be in danger that day, i carry something on me, but i'm not scared to cut someone in the throat, something like that. doesn't it exacerbate the problem if you pull a knife on somebody? yeah, it does, but obviously you have to stay protected. i don't want to die at a young age.

knife crime has been a reality in harehills for a long time. four years before irfan wahid's death atjust 16, kieran butterworth was stabbed just a couple of streets away. he was 17. when he got took away in the ambulance, a taxi had been driving past, and i stopped the taxi. me, me mate, and me partner jumped in the taxi. when we've actually arrived at the a&e, the ambulance doors were open, and the bed that they transported him off on was still outside, covered in blood. it is like ijust knew. my legs just went from underneath me. everyday, it's stuck in my mind, ain't it, obviously. i remember him and the stuff we used to do. and that day is stuck forever. guilty of murder, over £170 drug debt — when you see that... it gets me angry. it weren't even £170.

he only owed the man £100. my son's dead because he owed a man £100 for cannabis. sarah is kieran's mum. like a bomb just exploded and this big nothingness. sarah's loss centres on a mission — to stop other young people carrying knives. you have a picture here... explain this to me? i go into schools and i spill my heart and i try to make a difference, to re—educate these children that it is not good to carry a knife, that you're not safe for carrying a knife. i have been doing it ever since he died and i don't feel i am reaching a big enough audience. so she started a university degree. i'm doing teaching, next year i'm doing counselling so that i can offer support and help lots of bereavement groups. hopefully keep the attention on knife crime awareness

in the community because it is getting worse. knife crime is on the rise. last year, west yorkshire police made 481 arrests for possession of a bladed weapon — that's more than one a day, and a third more than the year before. sarah thinks the police could be doing more. i'm hearing every day, this has happened, that's happened, somebody‘s been stabbed. deal with it, put strategies in place to change things. as you can see that's a machete... a knife amnesty is just one of west yorkshire's police responses. 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. we have spoken to some of those grieving families and they've said to us, the police force are not doing enough. what would you like to say to that?

it would disappoint me that a grieving family that we have supported as much as we possibly can through very, very tragic and upsetting circumstances do not feel that we are doing enough. we do recognise that we have had an increase in knife crime but we are committed as a force to dealing with that, and addressing it, bringing people to justice and getting knives off the streets of west yorkshire. back in harehills, the street team are bringing boys on side. with this youth club and all of these guys, i do feel safer in my area because they do help out, they're out there, they're in the streets, and they're helping people. without the youth club, we would be probably be local drug dealers and no one would care but here everyone shows respect and they care about you. if you have a story you would like to tell us about, you can contact us on facebook or twitter. coming up on inside out... 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 more than 80,000 followers — it doesn't sound particularly unusual, does it? but bonnie inglis' photos are not about fashion or make—up, they're a statement about her recovery from an eating disorder that has dominated her life since her early teens. she's told her story to lucy hester. 82,000 people are about to get a new photograph of connie inglis. i'm just trying to figure out what clothes to wear connie posts images of herself to herfollowers in instagram most days. it is a visual record of her recovery from anorexia. i think people follow me because i tried to be truthful in my account. rather than just show positive sides of recovery, i show a lot of the negative sides and how hard it is.

connie's 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 try and show the reality for what a normal body is — like i do not photo shop, i do not use editing on instagram, i do not put filters on there. i do comparison photos of breathing in and out, sitting down, versus standing up, just the different ways your body moves. so i'm trying to say that all these things are normal and that most of the population has them and not everyone has to look like a victoria's secret model all the time. newsflash, you have a body, there is no wrong way to have a body — it is completely yours and it is beautiful. i'm beautiful, you're beautiful, everybody is beautiful so the next time body too small comes to play, remember what you know not what you think.

connie's posts today is a kickback against bod body image. i do it still because i really love helping people and i think that it is really important for people going through recovery, especially, to realise they are not alone in their struggles. no matter how hard it gets, it can always get better. you don't have to give up. do you feel like giving up sometimes? yeah. yeah, ido. connie is officially in recovery, a healthy weight and recently discharged from outpatient care but two years ago she almost died. that's from january 2016. i was emergency admitted to saint james. you seem very, very thin there. yeah, i was bedridden and stuff like that so, i couldn't leave my bed without a wheelchair. here, connie aged 20 weight

about as much as a 5—year—old child and was sectioned to prevent her from starving herself to death. i was a really low weight. my white blood cells were really low and my heart rate was really low so they admitted me and put me on a tube feed. i was not taking in any of the tube feed, i was still capable of pulling it out so they put a bridle in my nose, which is like a tube that goes around the back of the bone, so if you pull it out you pull the bone out. i didn't really care about living, dying, whatever. ididn't mind. ijust wanted to lose the weight, everything, ‘cause it had gotten to the point where... cos it had gotten to the point where... being in hospital wasn't good enough. the only thing that would have been good enough is if my heart stopped and that is the only thing that would have satisfied my anorexia. the impact on connie's

family has been huge. years of visiting hospitals and being powerless to halt the illness. the last time, connie was in two years ago, um, i went every day at least once and we normally chatted if she was up for talking but... unless i asked you to leave. ..if she wasn't up for talking and wanted me to leave... i was not a nice person sometimes when i was ill so i did frequently ask him to leave, tell him to get out, which was really lovely of me, sorry, dad. it gets worse than that. yeah, but i do appreciate you sticking around even though i didn't at the time. i don't think you get a choice to stick around when you're a dad, darling. yeah, i know. did you think that she would die? twice i think i did. she has such a strong will and but i always sort

of believed that that will would be turned around and she would fight it. so even at the point where i was told she had a couple of weeks to live if we didn't do something differently, i do not think i ever really believed that that was going to happen but as her dad i probablyjust did not want to face that. my drawer is predominately sweets because i don't eat them. so these are sweets that you don't eat? so who bought the sweets, did you buy the sweets? i bought the sweets to try and eat the sweets because i feel like i should, but... you feel like you should be able to conquer that fear? yeah. so, is that — are those fear foods for you? yeah. which are the most difficult of those? um... the sweets probably, processed sugar scares me.

mm hm. why is it scary? i think it's just left over from my eating disorder, like, i think it'sjust a habit that's still there, that i subconsciously avoid them. so what kind of things did you try, what kind of things did you challenge yourself to eat? milk, um... cheese... oh god, this is going to be a long list. pizza, pasta, corn, butter, bread, noodles, fish. 0k. so all those things you found difficult to eat, so now you've challenged yourself and you have eaten all of those things? yeah. do they form part of your diet generally now? yeah. today, her attitude to food is a bit more relaxed. i enjoy cooking for people. it seems a bit pointless to spend an hour on a dish if i'm just cooking for little old me. connie is eating rice and mackerel for lunch, a sensible meal, but she wouldn't eat it in front of us.

eating disorders are on the rise. anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness — less than half of sufferers will fully recover. during ourfilming, it becomes clear that connie, while generally feeling positive, does struggle with her 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 initial problems that caused my eating disorder. but... the nhs doesn't have enough funding to help, which is very annoying because it seems like... if i'm not starving myself, then no one's going to take me seriously. despite her struggles, connie is making huge strides in her recovery. in her last year at leeds art university, she's planning an extraordinary installation for her final

exhibition. connie has made barbie and bratz dolls body pieces out of boiled and coloured sugar. i'm really interested to see the colour that's starting to come through these. can you talk a bit about your choice of colour palette? i was trying to make them all really bright colours, and i just really liked the whole concept — like the whole idea of it all 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 do encourage poor body image, and people aspire to be this model like figure. if barbie was a real woman, she would not have half her organs, she would be classed as severely anorexic, if not dead. did that strike a chord with you? yeah, it was a bit... it was just ridiculous. i can't help but be struck

by connie's talent and vitality, but it's clear that after ten years, she's still waging an internal battle between happiness and despair and hope and fear. the fact that i actually feel like i have a future is brilliant. i want to not relapse again, that would be really great. i'd like to finish university. i'm a lot happier than i was, and a lot more positive than i was in the depths of my eating disorder. we get our fair share of wet days but our next story is about a particularly soggy one. in 1968, the rugby league challenge cup final between leeds and wakefield trinity was played in torrential conditions. so much so, that it became known as the watersplash final. well, 50 years on, leeds rhinos star jamie jones—buchanan has been finding out why the game has lasted so long in the memory. this weekend saw the opening

round of super league, rugby league's premier competition. 2018 marks my 20th straight season playing for the same club, leeds rhinos. but this year, there's another rugby league anniversary. it's 50 years since one of the wettest major sporting occasions in the history of british sport. newsreel: wembley, the rugby league cup final, leeds versus wakefield trinity. may 11 1968, wembley was poised and ready for what was undoubtedly back then the biggest event of the rugby calendar, the challenge cup final. the last time my club, leeds, had reached a final at wembley was 1957. wakefield, on the other hand, had won the trophy in 1960, 62 and 63. the venue, london's empire stadium at wembley.

before super rugby, the challenge cup final was always played in may and more often than not, the weather was always warm and sunny, but the 1968 final, the heavens opened. newsreel: wembley was witnessing a soggy, soggy duel. water polo players would have been more at home than the 26 rugby leaguers. it was certainly the wettest wembley in history. so much rain fell that day that for obvious reasons, it's usually referred to as the watersplash final. many people 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 and probably the rugby football league said the show must go on. newsreel: 1968 rugby league challenge cup final... the rivalry between neighbours, leeds and wakefield, remains fierce, so i was more than a little bit nervous when i visited charleston rovers rugby league club in a former pit village, on the edge of wakefield. i was there to watch the game and to meet some people who remember

the watersplash final as if it were yesterday. i wouldn't say it was the best game, i think it's probably the most memorable rugby league game ever. this guy came rushing in about 15 minutes before kickoff, we're all there in the dressing room. "you'll never believe it", he said, "it's absolutely throwing it down." 0n slightly safer ground at headingley — the home of my club, leeds rhinos — i also met up with some of that 1968 leeds side. we're standing in the tunnel. "this is it, boys, this is it." and we walked out into the sunshine, but it's like a lake. the water covered your boots. i've never played in conditions like that before, it was... frightening at times. 0ne tackle i made, ian brooke broke clear and i were covering the cross and i took him down, and we slid 15 yards.

everybody was slipping and sliding. when somebody come in to tackle ya, it were like somebody diving in the two feet end and you were like... trying to get water out of your mouth. but the climax of the watersplash final was still to be told. with the game already deep in injury time, leeds were four points clear. wakefield trinity needed both a try and a conversion to win. and surely, there was no time for either. commentator: 0h, he's gone overfor a try! he's got a try. it's a try! it's been saved at the last minute, try! everyone jumps up and thought "we snatched it". how did it feel when it went in? did you think "we've got this, we've done it"? if you watch the thing, i'm jumping up and down like somebody was just deposed. you know, i'm so embarrassed. i'm so embarrassed when i look at it, i'm doing this and giving it all this, and you know. but that's how it felt, it were that emotional coming out. i can't believe it. i couldn't believe it. like this, and then we're just waiting for don to kick it. it's a formality really, and don kicked the ball. normally, wa kefield's goalkicker was don fox's brother and teammate, neil. but neil was watching the game

from the stands with an injury, so wakefield's fate and the watersplash final lay in don's hands. no pressure. how did you feel? was he a player or was he your brother, or was he a bit of both? did you have nerves, what was going through your mind? that i wish it was me who was taking the kick at the time. right. because don was a bit softhearted, he was a gentle man really. yeah. and i was sat in the stand and thinking well, he's got to kick this, but this is a kick that i wouldn't have liked to have taken. commentator: he's missed it! he's on the ground, he's missed it. well, and there goes the whistle for time. what a dramatic... everybody's got their head in their hands and he's in tears, he's in tears. he's a poor lad, poor don fox... they alljumped up in the air and cheered. poor old don were on his knees. i went across to him and said look... and moved on to celebrate. and it was clarke who collected the cup, not the wakefield captain. you can tell it

touched a real nerve. i've never recovered. you never recovered ? no, 50 years on. i'm damaged for life. i've got friends who'll tell ya, you know, i'm a wreck as a consequence of 68. to me, it was an out of body experience. the bottom line is that we won. we were fortunate. there's no doubt about that. well, here with me, and it's whike the trophy is being paraded around, must be one of the saddest sporting stories in history, don fox, whojust missed kicking that winning penalty. don, it must be a desperate thing for a situation like that to occur? shocking, shocking. i can't speak, i'm that upset. anyway, i've got some tremendous news for you that i know you don't know yet. you have been awarded the lance todd memorial trophy for the outstanding player on the field. yeah, i don't. .. thank you, david. any consolation to you? er, not really, no. that match has been nothing but good for the game because people who didn't understand rugby, look at that. does that 1968 final rank up there with one of the more special rugby league moments in your career?

yeah. it's the number one, i've played five wembleys and i only won one. in may, it's 50 years since that final. there's been a lot of watta watta under th'bridge since then, and some amazing games, but do you know what? i don't think you'll ever see another game like the watersplash final. that's it from here in leeds, but make sure you join us next week. hello.

the weather has been a roller—coaster over the last few days. it is going to be turning colder from days. it is going to be turning colderfrom tonight days. it is going to be turning colder from tonight onwards, in fa ct, colder from tonight onwards, in fact, we are expecting snow, particularly across scotland. rain in the side. gales heading our way across the central swathes of the uk. this is the weather front that has been crossing us in the last 2a hours or so. the clouds are breaking up hours or so. the clouds are breaking upa hours or so. the clouds are breaking up a little bit, before this next weather systems year approaches us. i think later on in the afternoon, we will start to see the rain pushing in across parts of ireland. cold weather in the northern isles, too. this next weather system developing off the coast of ireland moving in a little bit later on this
