Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight: | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
Cracking down on the metal thieves - police demand more powers as the | :00:06. | :00:16. | |
:00:16. | :00:18. | ||
crime figures increase. No more than �20 for the scrap value of the | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
cable. He is now serving a 12 month sentence. | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
Remembering a hero - family and friends gather in honour of the Red | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Arrow pilot who died doing the job he loved. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
The barriers to trade - why shopkeepers in Lincoln are angry at | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
weekend train diversions which are costing them money. Joined me for | :00:38. | :00:48. | |
:00:48. | :00:51. | ||
some of ghosts and the goblins in a scoop -- spooky location and Hull. | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
Metal thieves have caused havoc on the railways, cut off villages from | :00:54. | :01:01. | |
the National Grid and left churches without roofs. Now, the railway | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
authorities in Yorkshire have secured a meeting with the | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
government tomorrow to ask for new police powers to tackle the growing | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
problem. In the wider Yorkshire and Lincolnshire region, there were 345 | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
thefts of copper cable from the railways in the last year. That | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
cost more than �3 million. Demand for copper has pushed the price up | :01:22. | :01:32. | |
:01:32. | :01:33. | ||
by 14% in the last week alone. Train passengers suffering delays, | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
churchgoers having their service cancelled, and home owners deprived | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
of power. All victims of metal theft. It is thieves like these, | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
trying to steal signal cables, that cause chaos. But it is scrap-metal | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
dealers who are under scrutiny. Normally, they come in on third. | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
They look a bit worried, they are sweating, so you know they have got | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
storeman staff. If I came in with a brass urns, what would you do? | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
would ask you where you are from and where you got them from, we | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
would take your vehicle registration number and ask for | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
your passport or driving licence. Police guidelines show the type of | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
cable that can only be stolen. Just this weekend, homes were left | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
without power in East Yorkshire. The lights were flickering, and the | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
boiler was buzzing. There was a power surge. It was all very dodgy. | :02:40. | :02:49. | |
They are cutting these wires of. Even the steelworks here in | :02:49. | :02:56. | |
Scunthorpe are not exempt from this crime. �300,000 worth of metal has | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
been stolen since January alone. Network Rail are meeting the Home | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
Office to call for more police powers to close scrapyards. They | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
also want cash payments to sellers banned. The value of copper cable | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
stolen it is minimum it to the disruption caused. In the north- | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
east, it has cost Network Rail �300 million this year. | :03:25. | :03:33. | |
The is scrapyard has strict checks on those touting suspicious loads. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
But managers feared they could end up carrying | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Just before we came on air, I asked Ian Hetherington from the British | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
Metals Recycling Association, which represents scrap merchants, how far | :03:42. | :03:51. | |
he supported greater police powers. We certainly would have support a | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
reform of the existing dealers Act. It is out of date and out of time. | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
We may differ on some of the detail. Some of the powers the police are | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
asking for, I believe, would be a gross infringement of our liberty | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
to trade. But for the most part, there is a degree of agreement. | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
Anyone can turn up and get paid in cash. Would you accept not being | :04:19. | :04:28. | |
able to trade in cash? I don't think this is feasible. At the | :04:28. | :04:38. | |
moment, there is such a long tail of unregulated trade. Legitimate | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
cash business, which is a very substantial part of our member's | :04:42. | :04:50. | |
income, it wouldn't just drift and lookout. But it is still payment. | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
- League out. Surely that would eliminate some of the problem. | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
Large numbers of businesses across the UK trade, and continue to trade, | :05:02. | :05:10. | |
quite legitimate League using coin of the realm. It is not an a | :05:10. | :05:20. | |
:05:20. | :05:21. | ||
regular way of making payments. If you were to disadvantage them, you | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
would be seriously disadvantaging them and disrupting their business. | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
-- legitimate trade. If the police may get tougher, is there a | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
possibility, or risk, that more storeman metalled then it will go | :05:37. | :05:45. | |
abroad? -- stall and a metal. isn't a major primary trade in | :05:45. | :05:54. | |
stolen metal. Some organised crime is working in that area, but the | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
majority of the material is being sold into illegal yards, and they | :05:59. | :06:08. | |
need to be clamped down on. In that respect, we would support an | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
improvement. -- stall and metal. We've just confirmed that a power | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
cut yesterday at Barnetby in North Lincolnshire was caused by cable | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
thieves. The company which owns the cables, YEDL, said a was removed | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
from its overhead network. Have you been a victim of the metal thieves? | :06:24. | :06:34. | |
:06:34. | :06:57. | ||
Will a clampdown on the scrapyards In a moment: It's now nine games | :06:57. | :07:06. | |
unbeaten for the Tigers as Hull The Red Arrows marked the death of | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
one their own pilots today with a flypast over Lincoln Cathedral. | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
Inside the church, a service was held in memory of flight lieutenant | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
Jon Egging. He died in August when his plane crashed during an airshow | :07:18. | :07:27. | |
in Bournemouth. Vicky Johnson was at the service. They came from all | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
walks of life, friends, family, colleagues and well-known faces, | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
all determined to celebrate the life of one of the RAF's brightest | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
stars. So many words that could describe him, and yet, at the one | :07:43. | :07:51. | |
that encompasses all that John was his friend. John Egging was a | :07:51. | :08:00. | |
caring and compassionate individual. John it really did represent two | :08:00. | :08:09. | |
halves of one Hall. He he knew how the other felt. He was just | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
something extra special. He was a terribly kind, and really did have | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
a huge smile on his face. You could always going have a cup of tea with | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
him. He was lovely. John Egging had almost completed his first year | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
with the Red Arrows when he died in August. Since then, his widow has | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
set up a trust in his name to set up -- to help disadvantaged young | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
people. People have been so generous. They have helped us | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
pledge money. The public have been brilliant, and it is our intention | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
to take all of that support and directed in the direction of the | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
trust. All of the John's qualities and beliefs and values were | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
epitomised by the RAF. He always wanted to fly, and when he was able | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
to do that, how can I do anything else than be happy for him? Today's | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
service has been exactly what John's friends and family could | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
have wished 4: A perfect celebration of a life less ordinary. | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
While the crash is still being investigated, John Egging's team | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
mates had been flying in at a missing man formation. They paid | :09:30. | :09:39. | |
their own tribute to a man who was never afraid to reach for the sky. | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
The government has awarded �35 million to East Yorkshire and | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
Northern Lincolnshire councils to boost job creation. East Riding | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
Council hopes to create thousands of jobs with investment in the | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
Greenport Project at Hull Docks. North Lincolnshire Council will | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
spend the money helping find new work for steel workers who are | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
losing their jobs. Two firms, BOC and T&N Plastics, in North East | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Lincolnshire also received money. Police are investigating after a | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
man's body was discovered in Grantham. Officers were called to | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
Swinegate in the town centre early this morning. The road was cordoned | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
off to allow forensic officers to investigate, but it has since been | :10:14. | :10:24. | |
:10:24. | :10:24. | ||
reopened. The body is believed to be that of a 42-year-old local man. | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
We have recovered the body and made an initial assessment. I am happy | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
that there doesn't seem to be anything suspicious. I can't give a | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
definitive answer to that until a post-mortem is carried out, but the | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
early suggestions are there is nothing suspicious. | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
A man from Hull has been told he will be jailed for his part in an | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
attack on a bank during a protest march in London after a jury found | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
him guilty of violent disorder. 22- year-old Joseph Binney was involved | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
in this disturbance at a branch of the Santander bank in central | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
London. It happened during a Union protest rally against government | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
spending cuts. Binney denied being partly responsible for the damage | :11:01. | :11:09. | |
despite his palm print being found on the inside door of the bank. | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Traders say a temporary increase in the number of trains passing | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
through Lincoln is damaging business. Level-crossing barriers | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
are closing 70 times a day at weekends for the next month, | :11:19. | :11:27. | |
splitting the shopping area in two for a total of three hours a day. | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
Network Rail has apologised for failing to inform Lincoln City | :11:30. | :11:40. | |
:11:40. | :11:41. | ||
Council. It should be the busiest time of | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
the Year for this clothing shop, but the claim that last weekend's | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
rail disruption has cost them dearly. Over the next few weeks, we | :11:51. | :12:00. | |
need that run-up to give us a lift which we didn't get last year. | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
But that is what of this railway crossing it does. The destruction | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
is caused by rail improvement works taking place near Grantham. It | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
means an extra 42 trains are being diverted tear every Saturday, and | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
sometimes, that can mean four trained every 10 minutes. Traders | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
in the street area are far from happy. It is crucial for the build- | :12:26. | :12:34. | |
up to Christmas, it is a major blow. In a statement, at Network Rail | :12:34. | :12:44. | |
:12:44. | :12:54. | ||
It has emerged that Network Rail failed to tell the council of its | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
plans on a weekend when the council was carrying out repairs on the | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
busiest road in the city. Had we known earlier, it is the East Coast | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
main line. We would have wanted to delay that for a weekend. We would | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
have wanted to put that back. There will be further disruption | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
over the next three weekends, with 42 extra trains every day. Network | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
Rail has told us this work is absolutely necessary, and will | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
provide benefits in the longer term. Local traders will be hoping their | :13:32. | :13:42. | |
:13:42. | :13:48. | ||
customers are prepared to tolerate the disruption. The decision of | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
Nears over the closure of the children's heart unit. | :13:54. | :14:04. | |
:14:04. | :14:05. | ||
And we are out with the ghost Elizabeth Saxton took this of | :14:05. | :14:15. | |
:14:15. | :14:17. | ||
Scawby Woods near Brigg. Another one tomorrow night, roundabout the | :14:17. | :14:25. | |
same time. Coming up, the growing popularity of part-time work. Funny | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
you should come back on the day we're talking about a visit from | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
weird apparitions. I hope you behaved yourself with my female | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
colleagues! Can I show you a graphic we have done a for you? | :14:40. | :14:49. | |
Spot the difference. Rain to come tonight, which will be heavy, it | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
will be still around in the morning, but then the day develops into a | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
fine one, with some sunshine. Welcome rain, I am sure. | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
Temperatures will be above average. Right now, 15 or 16 degrees, so | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
excellent for tricking or treating. One or two showers are showing up, | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
but basically, many places are dry, and it is going to be a pleasant | :15:16. | :15:24. | |
evening. Quite a lot of cloud, that does increase later in the night, | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
bringing rain in from the West. Not reaching the coast until the very | :15:29. | :15:39. | |
:15:39. | :15:45. | ||
end of the night, with temperatures drifting back to 10 Celsius. It | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
will be a wet start, the commuter could be pretty miserable for a | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
time, but by mid- to late morning, the rain is well clear of the coast, | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
and we will see the skies brightening. A good deal of | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
sunshine to come on the first day of November in the afternoon. The | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
average but this time of the year it is round about 12, so we are | :16:11. | :16:20. | |
once again above average. Looking further ahead, Wednesday looks dry | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
and bright, some more rain Wednesday night, and Thursday and | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
Friday, a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers. I was | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
waiting you to say whether assistants and drop yourself in it! | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
Lisa thought you were bright enough to know the Sun would rise in the | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
morning, she didn't feel the need for you to tell us that! Serves me | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
The Government is due to make a decision before Christmas on the | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
proposed closure of the children's heart units in Leicester and Leeds, | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
which serve Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. The NHS wants to | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
concentrate expertise in larger centres - that would mean children | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
from this area being treated in Birmingham or Newcastle. The BBC | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
has followed one patient, Emily Taylor from Grimsby, as she was | :17:09. | :17:19. | |
:17:19. | :17:26. | ||
treated at the threatened unit in Emily Taylor is one of around 3500 | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
children who will need heart surgery this year. It is a | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
desperately worrying time for families, but for many, it could be | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
the difference between life and death. From the point of view of a | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
surgeon, this is very satisfying, because you do the operation, a job | :17:42. | :17:50. | |
done. Children's heart surgery is extremely complex, and the surgeons | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
who carried out are among the most skilled in the Depression. Emily's | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
procedure to correct a hole in the heart will take about four hours, | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
but some can take over 15. One of the key principles underpinning the | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
review is the idea of four surgeons carrying out a minimum of 400 | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
paediatric heart operations per year. There is concern from some | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
about where this figure has come from. I want to see a real evidence | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
that they have considered another option that can potentially help us | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
keep them in Leeds. If we lose it, I really think it will be a serious | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
blow for many patients that are going to need it. I have had people | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
banging on my door every month saying, why it did you sort it out, | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
it is ridiculous that to have this large number of centres doing such | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
a small number of procedures. has been three weeks since Emily | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
Ken Maddock Hospital, and she is feeling much better. -- came out of | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
hospital. A I was really happy when it might operation was done, | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
because I could go home and have more fun. It is a wonderful to | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
think that it was found, and she has been treated, and now we can | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
get on with everything, not worry about it any more, get on with our | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
lives. You can see a full report on the | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
potential closure of the children's heart surgery unit in Leeds on | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
tonight's Inside Out. That's in just over half an hour here on BBC1. | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
Sport now, Damian Johnson's here. There has been talk that some Hull | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
City fans might boycott the match at Barnsley tomorrow in a row over | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
ticket prices. That has fallen largely on deaf ears. | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
It's nine games without defeat now for the Tigers after victory at | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Some City fans are angry that tickets | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
for the away match at Barnsley are more expensive than some Premier | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
League games. But with City surging back into the promotion picture, | :19:46. | :19:56. | |
:19:56. | :19:56. | ||
it's a match few will want to miss. "we didn't play very well today" | :19:56. | :20:05. | |
was manager Nigel Pearson's honest assessment. With the clock ticking, | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
a breakthrough. McLean punched the winner to extend the unbeaten run | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
to nine games, and secured a vital three points for the Tigers's | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
promotion push. We were able to raise our game considerably, in the | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
second half, we changed the shape a little bit as well. In the end, I | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
think we were worthy winners. Hull City fans have threatened to | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
boycott tomorrow night's game, angry at the price of tickets. Seat | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
for away fans cost �24. Barnsley are charging travelling supporters | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
�30, more than some Premier League clubs. A random search today showed | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
away tickets at Bolton Wanderers were just �22. I didn't realise how | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
much they were. It just goes with the territory. That is pretty steep, | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
compared to hear. But with the run they are on, you cannot miss it. | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
We're not missing it. A everybody wanted to go to the game tomorrow | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
and didn't want to miss it, I think it will be a good turnout. A so | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
Hull City can expect a strong following at Barnsley despite those | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
rising prices. A win will extend the unbeaten run and cement their | :21:19. | :21:29. | |
:21:29. | :21:31. | ||
place in the play-offs. Shane Duffy headed an equaliser for Scunthorpe, | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
and Chris Bagnall helps them to a 4-2 win. | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
And what happened in the FA cup draw? Grimsby Town will play Port | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
Vale in the first round of the FA Cup, next month. It's their reward | :21:46. | :21:56. | |
:21:56. | :21:57. | ||
Meanwhile in Rugby League, Hull FC's Kirk Yeaman was among the | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
scorers as England warmed up for their game against Australia next | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
week with a win over Wales. Yeaman was a first half scorer in the game | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
at Leigh which saw England win by 42 points to four. | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
Hull Stingrays' three-match unbeaten run came to an end against | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
leaders Belfast Giants. Two late goals helped Belfast to 3-1 win at | :22:16. | :22:26. | |
:22:26. | :22:27. | ||
Hull Arena. The Stingrays stay sixth in the table. You can contact | :22:27. | :22:35. | |
me on Twitter. See you next week. He's remembered as one of the | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
heroes of World War Two. Guy Gibson led the famous Dambusters raid from | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
his base at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire. Now, almost 70 years | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
later, ghost hunters have been staking out his old office to try | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
to catch a glimpse of his ghost, which they say still haunts the | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
airfield. Sarah Corker went with them. Her report contains flashing | :22:54. | :23:04. | |
:23:04. | :23:07. | ||
images. As dusk falls, a team of paranormal investigators are on the | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
hunt for ghosts they say haunt this airbase. We are looking for the | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
spirit of Guy Gibson and his dog. They have been a lot of things | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
reported about his dog, and it would be excellent if we got proof | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
that they are still here. He's remembered as the courageous RAF | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
pilot who led the Dambusters, and an attack which destroyed two large | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
German dams. And his dog - who became the squadron's mascot. | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
Buried on the airbase, the dog's ghost has been spotted across | :23:36. | :23:45. | |
Lincolnshire many times. He is like a lost soul, looking for his master. | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
When I was walking along the corridors, I could sense a dog | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
following me. So yes, like any other airfield, we have got the | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
ghost, and we have got this books. At the end of this corridor is Guy | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
Gibson's old office, it has been empty for half a century. I am | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
armed with this device, which shows any changes to the electromagnetic | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
field, which disliked say could show paranormal activity. -- this | :24:14. | :24:21. | |
lot say. They have all been going off. There is a possibility | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
aspirate is speaking to last through these machines. We have had | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
cold spots in the corner of the room, coming past us, as if they | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
are watching what we are doing. Coming in and saying, high, we are | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
here. Staff here say there are at least six spirits roaming the | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
airfield - leaving some more spooked than others. Quite a few | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
people will not going to the hankers after work, because of the | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
light going on and off, the front steps, of voices, when they know | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
they are the only people here. Whether you believe in ghosts or | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
not, it all adds to the legend of the dambusters and their four- | :25:01. | :25:11. | |
legged mascot. Well, Sarah is in East Park in Hull | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
now, where they're holding a ghost walk. What's going on there this | :25:14. | :25:22. | |
evening? Well, if you take a look over here, there is a funfair and | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
stunt show that has been run over the weekend. But come over here | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
with me for tonight's main attraction, the Ghost Walk. | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
Organisers have been setting up since 6am this morning, and it is | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
kitted out with sound effects, smoke machines, and some ghosts and | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
goblins to scare you along the way. As you can see, it is already | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
bringing in the big crowds. Earlier, I spoke to families who told me | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
what has been spitting them out tonight. The clown that jumped out. | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
I saw something moving. Like a ghost under the tunnel, it jumps | :25:59. | :26:06. | |
out at you. When the person jumped out with the ghost costume, it | :26:06. | :26:16. | |
:26:16. | :26:21. | ||
scared me for a bit. It was really funny. It is the 11th year the | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
Ghost Walk has been running, and organisers expect up to 5000 people | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
to come down tonight. The best thing is, it is absolutely free, it | :26:30. | :26:36. | |
is open till 9pm, and young or old, there has been a big effort on the | :26:36. | :26:46. | |
costume front. Here is something to scare you guys at home! If you are | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
going, then enjoy. Let's get a recap of the national | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
and regional headlines. Amid more anti-capitalist protests, the Dean | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
of St Paul's is the latest high profile resignation. | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
Cracking down on the metal thieves - police demand more powers as the | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
crime figures increase. Rain at first tomorrow, soon | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
clearing, then fine and dry with spells of sunshine. Maximum | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
temperature, 15 degrees Celsius, 59 degrees Fahrenheit. | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
Response coming in on metal theft. The chain says, timed to stop the | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
dodgy cash in hand, no questions asked. Michelle says, we had the | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
overhead power cable stolen outside our house last Friday night, we | :27:25. | :27:32. |
