Good evening. Welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines: A mother's | :00:09. | :00:16. | |

How damaged pavements are costing millions to local councils in | :00:27. | :00:30. | |

Becky Perryman died at the age of just 26 from cervical cancer, two | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
weeks before she was due to get married. Today her family in Hull | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
has told me that she would still be alive today had she been given a | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
routine check earlier. In a moment we will hear what her mother and | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
fiance had to save. First, Crispin has been looking at why women under | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
25 are not routinely checked, despite high-profile deaths. | :01:32. | :01:38. | |

cervical cancer which killed her. - - Jade. | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
After her death, more women came forward for what is an invasive but | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
potentially life-saving health check. Experts insist that the | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
routine smear test does more harm than good. One in three will have | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
an abnormal test result, which does not mean they are it increased risk, | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
it just means that they have transient abnormalities that would, | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
in most cases, Galway on their own. The test provokes anxiety. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
feeling amongst GPs is that we should be offering screening from | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
the age of 20. We do not want to see young women dying. Cervical | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
cancer is a disease that is totally preventable. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Medical opinions differ, but, within first -- incidences of | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
cervical cancer on the increase in Hull, Betty Perryman's family know | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
that, for them, this debate has been more than merely academic. | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
Earlier today I visited Becky's mother and fiance at their home in | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
Hull. They told me about what Becky was like. She was bubbly, bright, | :02:58. | :03:08. | |
she was happy-go-lucky. She loved life. The thought of her wedding | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
coming up, she was over the moon about getting married. You must | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
have been so excited, Danny. When was the big day? 3rd September. | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
are you coping? This is unbelievable. I do not think it has | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
properly sunk in yet. It seems so real, for want of a better word. | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
When she was diagnosed it was 2009, wasn't it? That is right. How did | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
she cope at the time? At the time, when she first find out, she was | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
really sad and upset. But Becky being Becky, she said, we will get | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
on with this. The Government has aged -- has raised the age of | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
routine smear tests. Are you happy about that? No, not at all. I think | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
it is appalling. The Department of Health says that testing younger to | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
do more harm than good. Why? How could it do more harm than good? If | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
it is going to do more harm than good, if they do not get the smear | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
tests, by the time they do it is too late. And you thought | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
everything would be OK for the wedding? They told us it was | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
terminal a while ago. They said they could not do any more for | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
Becky. They did not give a timeline so I assumed and hoped that she | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
would be OK for the wedding. What is your message for young people? | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
It is for young people and parents as well to get in touch with the | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
government back and say that they should be allowed the smear test | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
before they are 25. Young girls must go for it if they have the | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
chance to get it. Danny, when his Becky's funeral? It is this | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
Wednesday coming. All of our thoughts are with you tonight. | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
Thank you for speaking to us. Dreadfully sad story. | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
In a moment, new hope for the military veterans who say they have | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
Gulf War Syndrome, from doctors in Hull. | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
�2 million - that is how much councils across East Jorja and | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
linkage or have paid out for things like trips, faults and slips in the | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
last four years. A new report from the Tax Payers' Alliance has | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
criticised local authorities for helping to create a so-called | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
compensate in -- compensation culture. Hull City Council had the | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
largest bill in our area but councillors said they have reduced | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
pay-outs and are spending more on repairing roads and pavements. | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
Pot holes, paving slabs, icy walk ways - a recipe for compensation | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
under the modern-day claims culture. But those claims come at a cost, | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
hitting taxpayer's hard. Councils have been criticised for not doing | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
enough to limit them. I think people have a right to claim if | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
they get injured. If the council's inspection regime is being done | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
correctly, then those claims will not be valid. For in the last four | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
years, Hull City Council paid of -- paid out over �1 million in legal | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
fees and compensation. That compares to just �200,000 for the | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
whole of Lincolnshire. When you compare Hull's figures to other | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
cities like Leeds and Sheffield, you find that Leeds paid out �2.5 | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
million in Sheffield �1.2 million in the same period. We have an | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
inspection regime where a break for part in the City is inspected at | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
least annually. Footpaths in the city centre and along the main | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
roads out of the city centre and inspected quarterly. There are | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
1,700 kilometres of Path's in the city. | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
The finger has been pointed at some legal forms of making a fast buck. | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
Don Wilson was approached by an insurance agent after receiving | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
treatment for a cricket injury. asked what I had done very gadget - | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
- casually and said, we can get you some money. All I had to do was | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
take a photograph of any raised paving slab on any council estate | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
and send it in with a statement so that they could process the claim. | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
It is not right. A solicitor in Scunthorpe admits that some | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
sections of the claims industry are going too far. People see these | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
adverts on the TV and people get unsolicited text messages and phone | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
calls saying, had you had a claim? People think there are solicitors | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
on the end of the phone but they are not. The unscrupulous claims | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
companies trying to get as much work as possible. Councils say the | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
costs are unavoidable. Critics argue it is money that should be | :08:02. | :08:11. | |
spent elsewhere. Phil joins us now from Hull. How | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
bad it -- how bad is it there, then? | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
This is one street that we found with uneven pavements the day. In | :08:19. | :08:27. | |
order to make a claim, a slab how long it -- as one only has to | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
protrude an inch. With it being so easy to make claims, people can be | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
quite tempted. That is what the councils are up against, | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
particularly in this financial climate. Many people may be tempted | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
to take up those offers and earn potentially thousands of pounds. | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
We would like to hear from you on this one. Andrew McGavin is a local | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
solicitor. He told me that he does not believe that we are living in a | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
compensation culture. I do not think the figures from the Tax | :08:57. | :09:06. | |
Payers' Alliance report do ring true. �1 million in Hull alone. The | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
worst in the country in four years, that is a lot of money. It is, but | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
one has to look at the number of claims and the circumstances of | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
each claim. Do solicitors accept that there can -- that their | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
advertising is encouraging people to make a claim that they would not | :09:22. | :09:32. | |
ordinarily think about? That it does not improve you're chances of | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
succeeding. Years ago, if you wanted a solicitor, you found one | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
in the phone book and rang them up. Is it you fall for making the | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
compensation culture prosper the way it is at the moment? I do not | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
think it is. I do not think there is any evidence that the number of | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
claims is going up. The Tax Payers' Alliance report confirms that | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
numbers are stagnant. If I trip over a paving stone, what is your | :09:56. | :10:04. | |
approach? I think that, if you say I have fallen and injured myself, | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
we have to look at what you fell upon. If it is down to neglect by | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
the council, them perhaps. If you caught your feet, as we all do, | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
then no. People sometimes want to make money | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
and you are happy to make money - it is great, isn't it? No, I do not | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
think it is. When you speak to people who have sometimes had these | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
accidents and have lost their jobs, that is the real human element. | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
If I trip over a paving stone, I can look you up and the phone book. | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
But I am being told on the television all time, make a claim. | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
There are a number of advertising forums. You can look online, there | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
are so many ways to do it. business for solicitors? | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
business on advertising, absolutely. We would like your thoughts on this | :10:58. | :11:08. | |
:11:08. | :11:30. | ||
We will read out your thoughts before we finish. | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
The Red Arrows' returns to the Lincolnshire home following last | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
week's fatal crash has been delayed because of bad weather. Flight | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
Lieutenant Jon Egging was killed when his plane came down on | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
Saturday in Bournemouth. The team has been cleared to fly again as | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
investigations continue into what caused the crash. | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
Lincolnshire County Council is considering closing its centres | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
that support vulnerable adults in the Candide. It currently provides | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
two respite centres, day care and supportive living accommodation. | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
Staff and those who use them will now be asked whether they should be | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
closed or transfer to to -- transferred to private ownership. | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
Doctors from Hull Royal Infirmary say they may have found a treatment | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
for the so-called Gulf War syndrome. 20 years after the war, thousands | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
of veterans say that they are still suffering from unexplained | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
illnesses linked to the conflict. Now a new medication has been | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
tested on ex-servicemen in Hull. It is a daily injection that is | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
transforming this man's life. walk up one morning and felt a lot | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
better. I thought, I could do this or that. Before, I could not do | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
anything, I was stuck on the so far. He is one of thousands of veterans | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
who have suffered from what is known as Gulf War syndrome. Now | :12:51. | :12:58. | |
after 16 years of chronic fatigue and joint pain injections of | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
hormone replacement therapy are making a difference. I had lost | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
interest in everything. I had complete dysfunction. The treatment | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
has been discovered by doctors at Hull Royal Infirmary. Trials on 11 | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
veterans found that nine had a rare condition of the pituitary gland | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
that normally affects one in a million. The condition prevents the | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
gland at the base of the brain producing certain hormones which | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
enable our bodies to function. Treating sufferers with HRT is now | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
being seen as a potential breakthrough. I think that this is | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
a very positive finding, I think it is a positive step for those | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
patients with this problem. It deserves to be tested to see if it | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
is contributing to the Gulf War Syndrome they are suffering. | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
The Gulf war started in January 1991 and finished just three months | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
later. During that time, thousands of soldiers claimed they became ill, | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
blaming the high number of inoculations they were given. Since | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
then, ex-servicemen have been fighting the MoD for compensation | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
and hope that this latest finding will now strengthen their case. | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
need to have questions raised in a house of Commons with regard to why | :14:16. | :14:24. | |
it has taken 20 years to find out why soldiers are ill. They should | :14:24. | :14:28. | |

No, it is just me in the pouring rain! It has been raining for much | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
of the day. The forecast for the Leeds Festival over the weekend is | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
going to slightly improve. It will still be a bit showery tomorrow but | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
not as wet as it has been today and it will feel a bit warmer. Sunday | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
will be the best day, dry with some sunshine. We do have a Met Office | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
warning still valid for the rest of tonight. Many places have seen over | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
half an inch of rain falls. Some places have seen an inch. We could | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
see more than that before it stops raining by the end of the night. | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
This evening, the rain is still heavy, particularly across North | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
parts of Lincolnshire, East Yorkshire. It is turning to turn -- | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
starting to turn more patchy and by the end of the night it will be dry | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
Tomorrow will be a much better day than today. We will still see one | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
or two showers at times. There's a chance they could be on the heavy | :17:01. | :17:11. | |
:17:11. | :17:13. | ||
side. But for many of us it will be As we head on into Sunday, we will | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
see the breeze picking up. Sunday, Bank Holiday Monday, rather breezy | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
but mostly dry with sunny spells and the weather improving into the | :17:21. | :17:31. | |
:17:31. | :17:36. | ||
start of next week. Have a nice weekend. We know a lot | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
of people are already at the festival. My favourite email was | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
from a viewer Cook said, whatever happened to that guy who used to do | :17:47. | :17:50. | |

Life boats are using the cameras to film rescues. The RNLI hopes the | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
British will help show how its crews put their own life on the | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
line every day. -- hopes of the footage. | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
A dramatic rescue as the Skegness lifeboat crew come to the help of a | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
boat grounded at sea. It is just one of many scenes they tend to, | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
day in, day out, and for the past three years they have been using a | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
special camera equipped helmet to film the action was out on the | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
waves. The dangers of inflatables while you are out at sea and these | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
helmets show all the dangers of two parents who unfortunately let their | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
children drift offshore into danger and it can highlight all the | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
hazards that do actually happen at sea. The RNLI relies solely on | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
donations so having Woodage like this which can be viewed by anyone | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
on the internet is a huge benefit to the charity as it raises public | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
awareness and helps the crews themselves learn from their rescue | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
missions. Since the introduction of these cameras and being able to | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
upload them to websites like YouTube, the RNLI has been having | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
hundreds of hits and that can translate into donations, bringing | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
people to the RNLI website. cameras on the life boats are | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
absolutely brilliant and they do good work anyway. They do not think | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
a lot of people, even though they are able to swim, they just do not | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
know the dangers of things like the weather conditions and everything. | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
The summer holidays may be coming to an end but for the RNLI up and | :19:36. | :19:44. | |
down our coastline, emergency call- outs like this one will continue. | :19:44. | :19:49. | |

Scunthorpe United last night as The Iron narrowly missed out on causing | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
a big shock -- big shot in the Carling Cup. They played Newcastle | :19:57. | :20:07. | |
:20:07. | :20:10. | ||
Scunthorpe United fans knew that despite losing, their team had done | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
them proud. Brilliant. They played really well. A bit unlucky for | :20:16. | :20:24. | |
Scunthorpe but as usual, Newcastle get a Get Out Of jail Free card. | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
Obviously, they played a better team than us. We are Scunthorpe | :20:30. | :20:38. | |
United, we just keep going. game got off to a wonderful start. | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
There was a head for Chris Dagnall's cheeky touch. The Iron | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
extended their advantage many times. But as Newcastle mounted wave after | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
wave of attacks, an equaliser was inevitable, and it came from this | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
free kick. That forced extra-time, which was heading to penalties | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
until Sammy Ameobi took charge. COMMENTATOR: Ameobi for Newcastle | :21:03. | :21:12. | |
There are plenty of positive to take out a bit but the biggest | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
disappointment is whenever we go on the pitch I expect my team to win | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
and I think we did enough at times to win this game. That was a really | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
commendable performance from Scunthorpe. The question is, can | :21:23. | :21:30. | |
they repeated? It is less than 48 hours until their game at Sheffield | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
Wednesday. That was last night and this | :21:33. | :21:43. | |
:21:43. | :22:03. | ||
weekend there are lots of games. Around 50,000 spectators are | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
expected at the Superbikes Championships at Cadwell Park at | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
the weekend. As the crowds make their way across the country, it is | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
a local team leading the championships. Our reporter has | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
been behind the scenes at Louth- based HM plant Honda. | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
A spotlessly tidy workshop in life is the nerve centre of one of the | :22:23. | :22:32. | |
most successful teams in Superbikes. -- Louth. Honda are going for their | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
fourth title in six years. I think the excitement is fantastic. | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
Cadwell Park always brings huge crowds. In the last two or three | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
years it has probably been one of the largest crowd drawing circuits | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
in the British championships. is no end of silverware on display | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
here and hoping to add to it is Shane Byrne, currently leading the | :22:56. | :23:04. | |
championship. He knows Cadwell Park is a test for any rider. It is like | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
riding 210 horsepower around your garden path. There are a lot of | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
blind crests and it is a difficult track. Very demanding. Down at the | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
track, the teams prepared to do battle with each other and with | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
Cadwell Park itself. Ask anyone what makes Cadwell Park so special | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
and they will tell you it is this. The mountain. A section of track so | :23:28. | :23:36. | |
steep that riders take to the air was travelling at 70 mph. Of course, | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
it would not be the same without the fans, willing to take a risk | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
and camp out at the track whatever the weather has in store. We come | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
every year. We have coming -- been coming for about 15 years. It is an | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
amazing place. Just excitement. There is a brotherhood among stars. | :23:55. | :24:02. | |
We look out for each other. We are a tight-knit community. It all adds | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
up to an unmissable weekend for the 50,000 spectators. | :24:09. | :24:17. | |
He is famous for slicing off part of his beer and is still one of the | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
world's most sought after artists. Now a mysterious picture of Vincent | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
Van Gogh has made a surprise appearance at a gallery in Grimsby, | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
which could shed new light on the Dutch man's life and work. | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
It is here in the heart of Paris that Vincent Van Gogh spent much of | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
his time, getting inspiration for his work. His paintings are housed | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
in some of the largest museums in the world, and now at a gallery in | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
Grimsby. What is thought to be the only full-length portrait of the | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
artist is being displayed here, after a couple from Louth bought it | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
for 1,500 pounds. It has been hidden away for over a century. | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
From B 125 years, and the more we find out, the bigger this | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
background picture is as well, the more exciting it gets. It was | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
painted by one of his former students, Jeanne Donnadieu, and | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
this is why they believe it was the man himself. First, his at it. Van | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
Gogh was known for his crumpled hat and rolled-up trousers. He was | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
famous for writing on his own walls, and the Bible in the corner is | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
thought to be the same one he inherited from his father. We have | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
had people standing in front of the painting and bursting into tears | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
because they cannot believe they are seeing a portrait of Vincent | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
Van Gogh. And that's it has actually be allowed to be exhibited | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
in Grimsby. A quick history lesson. Great artist. Could his ear off. | :25:50. | :25:58. | |
Sunflowers. Very expensive pictures. We cannot afford them. For the next | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
two weeks, if you would like to take a look at the famous artist, | :26:01. | :26:09. | |
you know I can, at a small gallery in Grimsby. -- you now can. | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
There is the chance to hear a special radio programme over the | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
bank holiday weekend, looking at life on the docks. It collects the | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
memories and stories of those who worked in the fishing and port | :26:20. | :26:30. | |

E-mails coming in on the subject of compensation culture. Jim is in | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
Boston. Our legal system perpetuates the compensation | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
culture. Anyone who takes a claim to court should risk it costing | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
them if they lose. Another one, Robert, people walking down the | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
street have a duty of care to look after themselves. If a trip up, why | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
