Good evening. Thank you for joining us. Welcome to Thursday's programme. | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
The headlines - campaigners claim there is little point in | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
fundraising for research into cancer treatments as patients are | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
denied new drugs. I can understand then people saying what's the point | :00:20. | :00:28. | |
of him having the drug if he's going to - he's not able to do | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
anything anyway and he's dying. But I'm not. Humber Bridge tolls could | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
be halved, as a local council says it can take over the debt. The | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
couple who met under a Vulcan bomber at Waddington, return to see | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
it as they celebrate their golden wedding. It's that time of year. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
I'm live in Lincoln, where we are waiting for the Christmas light to | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
be turned on. It will be fine for that. Join me for the rest of the | :00:57. | :01:07. | |

Good evening. Campaigners claim there is little point in | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
fundraising for cancer research if patients are denied new drugs. It | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
comes on the day that the National Institute for Clinical Excellence | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
has recommended that the NHS doesn't pay for a new breast cancer | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
drug, which could prolong lives. Instead, it will be provided | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
through a special cancer drugs fund, but only in certain areas. If for | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
example you live in Scunthorpe you'll get it. If you live if | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
Gainsborough you wouldn't. Mark Bannister looks fit and well. | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
Terminal brain cancer could mean he'll be dead in months. He's been | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
denied the drug Avastin, which could prolong his life. I should be | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
having that drug now, while I'm quite fit and able. NICE, which | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
provides independence guidance on promoting health that ruled the | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
drug shouldn't be routinely prescribed. Today it has added | :02:14. | :02:24. | |
:02:24. | :02:28. | ||
Halaven saying: Yet, cancer patients like the Deans here have | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
been denied no treatments at all, because they live in the Yorkshire | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
and Humber area, where money's been made available from the cancer | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
drugs fund. NICE, they are not being nice at all. It isn't fair | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
and I believe that the people who say no to it haven't anyone in | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
their families that really need it. More than 800 million is raised by | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
cancer charities in the UK every year. Some of it in shops like this | :02:54. | :03:04. | |
:03:04. | :03:04. | ||
one in Goole. Hety, one of the volunteers, -- Hettie, one of the | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
volunteers, says this is awful. Everyone should have a chance. It's | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
not just the person concerned, it's the families. It hits the families | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
so hard. While Mark is still fighting for his drugs, he fears | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
time is fast running out. I can understand then people saying | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
what's the point of him having the drug if he's dying, but I'm not. I | :03:27. | :03:35. | |
can still play with my kids and play about. That's what hurts. | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
Sorry. Joining me on this one is Professor Christopher Twelves, from | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
cancer research's UK clinical centre in Leeds. Good evening to | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
you. Good evening. Is it just unfair and hard to grasp why one | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
person would get and one person wouldn't depending on where they | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
live? What is your view? These sort of stories are heart-breaking, | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
aren't they? I think we should be offering cancer patients the best | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
possible drugs on a fair basis according to whether they would | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
benefit from them, rather than by what we used to call the postcode | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
lottery. I think we are hopefully moved away and we risk moving back | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
into that unfair situation. There isn't a limitless pot of money, | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
though, is there? Do you accept that some hard decisions have to be | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
made and not everyone can have what they would like? Yes, I absolutely | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
agree that we need to be clear that the treatments that we offer | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
represent good value for money. In the case of the drug that has been | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
mentioned today eribulin, we are particularly disappointed, because | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
this is the fact drug that has been shown quite clearly to prolong | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
survival in women with met static breast cancer, that is really quite | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
advanced. As I say, we have for the first time a drug to prolong | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
survival, so this is very disappointing. An article in The | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
Lancet by 37 of your cancer colleagues, says there is | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
insufficient evidence about the value of some drugs? I think it is | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
perfectly fair and reasonable that we look at the value of the drugs. | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
On the one hand, we deal with our cancer patients and we have a duty | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
to them. On the other hand, we are taxpayers ourselves and clearly we | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
want to see value for money across the board within the NHS. I think | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
where we have eye drug which clearly improves survival, | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
something which no other drug has done in this setting and especially | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
where this is a drug that causes fewer side effects than many others, | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
I think we would be keen that NICE look again at this decision, | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
hopefully so the drug can be more widely and fairly available. | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
Briefly, if there is a drug which does prolong life and it's | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
available, regardless of cost, it should be available? Provided that | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
evidence is clear that it prolongs life, provided we know which | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
patients to use it on and the doctors are familiar with how to | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
use it, yes, it should be widely and fairly available. Tre having to | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
talk to you. Thank you. -- very interesting to talk to you. We | :06:04. | :06:14. | |
:06:14. | :06:22. | ||
would like to know your thoughts on In one moment, Nick talks for the | :06:23. | :06:30. | |
first time after taking over at Hull City. Drivers using the Humber | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
Bridge could be paying half the current toll charge if the latest | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
proposal to buy the debt is accepted. North Lincolnshire | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
council says it can find �100 million from various sources and | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
that would see the charge for a single car journey reduced to �1.50. | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
It's the third different proposal to be put to the Government, but | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
the only one that would use public money. I don't think so, no. I | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
think it's gone on long enough. They can wipe other debts off, but | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
why not the debt of the bridge? think it would be a good idea, yes. | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
It would help everyone on this side to travel over. I think it would | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
help a lot of people, because especially with hospital. You have | :07:16. | :07:24. | |
to get over and it's a lot of money. Just depends how much it would put | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
our taxes up. I don't think there should be a debt. It's a bridge for | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
the country. The whole country uses it. Why should we have to buy it | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
when the whole country uses it? Joining me is Andrew Percy, the MP | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
for Brigg and Goole. Think it's a good idea? I think it is. It's not | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
only the proposal to use public money, because the Humber Bridge | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
Board's proposal would have to be underwritten by the local | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
authorities. The council have said they would use council reserves to | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
part-fund this. Is it right that that money should be exposed in | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
this way? It wouldn't, actually. They would look to partner with | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
another council, possibly with private sector or bore row and | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
council taxpayers wouldn't pay. The debt could be serviced in the same | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
way it is at the moment. It will have come from council taxpayers? | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
No, because the debt would be held by the council in the same way we | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
are responsible for debt, but paid down by users of the bridge in the | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
same way it is today. I could have a trip over from Hull at �1.50 and | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
subs dieded by north Lincolnshire council? No, it wouldn't be | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
subsidised. The debt would be held, but paid by people paying tolls. | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
Exactly as happens at the moment. Why didn't or couldn't all four | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
authorities come together and that would make it even easier? That | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
would be a very good idea. That is part of the proposal. This is just | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
an outline. We are still at the very early stage. What they've said | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
is they would look to partner with another council, possibly all the | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
local councils in the area. If the Government accepts this �100 | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
million, that means they'll still have to write-off 132 million as | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
bad debt that will never happen? 230 million is what they would have | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
to write-off and that is a big ask, given where we are with the state | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
of the public finances, but what Government has said is that the | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
status quo is not an option. All the meetings we have had and we | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
have been pushing hard, we have explained to them that we are a | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
low-wage economy, and this is damaging people's job prosecution | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
pegts. It is damaging businesses -- prospects. It is damaging | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
businesses and they seem to see that. They are not going to write | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
off the debt? We'll know in a couple of weeks' time. All I can | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
say is that the Government keeps saying the status quo is not an | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
option. They accept there is a problem with the tolls and that is | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
damaging the local economy and local people and that's why we | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
should get behind any proposal that reduces the debt and toll. Thank | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
you. Another one you might want to comment on, especially if you live | :09:51. | :10:01. | |
:10:01. | :10:21. | ||
More news now. There is a proposal to increase the toll on the Dunnham | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
Bridge by 20%. The price would rise from 30 pence to 36 pence and vans | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
would increase from 50 pence to 60 pence. The new fees are being | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
discussed because of changes to legislation surrounding VAT charges. | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
It's one thing after another. Increases everywhere and now this | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
is up on the bridge, it's just a bit high. Plus, everything else in | :10:45. | :10:54. | |
the country is going up. With fuel increases as well, it's just no end | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
to it. Nuclear test veterans from east Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
among those affected by a Supreme Court case, which has ended this | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
afternoon. The final decision is expected next month. William | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
Middlemass from Skellingshorpe is one of thousands of ex-service | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
personnel who say being exposed to radiation has led to serious health | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
problems. The MoD disputes the claims, saying previous appeals | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
have found their merits to be weak. The family have always been | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
disrupted because I've always had stomach illnesses and been sick and | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
had a throat operation. That was to enlarge the throat at the time, so | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
I could swallow properly without any pain. Generally it's just gone | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
on and on with various illnesses over the years. The RAF has lifted | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
its ban on non-essential flying in tornado GR4s, which it imposed | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
after the death of a Red Arrows pilot. Flight Lieutenant Sean | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
Cunningham was killed after his ejector seat was activated whilst | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
on the ground. The MoD grounded all non-essential flights by aircraft | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
with similar ejector seats, which included the tornado. The ban has | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
been lifted, but the suspension remains for the Hawk. Door staff | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
from a Lincoln nightclub have told an inquest that they did not use | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
excessive force before a man stopped breathing outside the venue. | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
23-year-old William Pleaseance was removed from the Enengine Shed | :12:23. | :12:30. | |
three years ago. -- Engine Shed three years ago. Bouncers told the | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
Coroner's Court that they had used minimal force. On 3rd October 2008 | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
William Pleaseance went for a night out in Lincoln. After door staff | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
accused him of fighting he was thrown out and destrained. He | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
stopped breathing and three days later he died. Today, the bouncers | :12:50. | :12:59. | |
on duty gave their version of doorman here and he said that Mr | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
Pleaseance was kicking and trying to pumch everything. He said that | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
him and the other doorman had restrained him, but they only used | :13:06. | :13:14. | |
minute mam force. Shane Costello had told the inquest that William | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
pleaseance it hit him on duty. Mr Pleaseance' father Richard asked | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
him if he thought his son was OK whilst being held down. He said yes. | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
Mr Pleaseance replied, "He wasn't OK. He was dying." The first | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
policeman on the scene also gave evidence. He told the inquest he | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
arrived at the convenient uniat around 1.30. He said the victim was | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
lying face down, with his legs and feet crossed. He said there were | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
five to certain doormen around him, but can't remember whether they | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
were on top or next to him. He soon realised that Mr Pleaseance wasn't | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
moving and called an many balance. He also told the coroner that | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
William's sister had said they had taken ketamine and smoked cannabis | :13:59. | :14:09. | |

see the seals on Sunday. Thank you for that. Evening, young man. | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
I will wipe the smile off your face. This is folly. Somebody says, we | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
laughed at seeing Peter last night. It was lovely to see that lovely, | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
stuffed object and donated character together. | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
Have these people got more time on their hands than is good for them?! | :15:15. | :15:25. | |
:15:25. | :15:28. | ||
The headlines is it will be mild and breezy. This extraordinary run | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
of winds that has been with those looks set to continue. The weather | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
fronts try and get in from the West, but keep getting knocked back from | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
the high pressure. That will change, I think, as we head through the | :15:42. | :15:51. | |
middle stages of next week. There is a change on the way. Right now, | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
it is lovely for the lights switched on in Lincoln. If anything, | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
overnight, the clearer skies will give way to more cloud. Possibly | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
thickener for the odd spot of rain in the West. It looks like it will | :16:05. | :16:12. | |
be a try, mild and breezy night. Temperatures around seven or eight. | :16:12. | :16:22. | |
:16:22. | :16:24. | ||
The sun will rise in the morning at 730 3am, setting at 3:59pm. -- 730 | :16:24. | :16:33. | |
3am. It is a dry day, quite cloudy at times, but the cloud should | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
break up from time to time. There will be sunny breaks coming through. | :16:37. | :16:47. | |
:16:47. | :16:50. | ||
With that suddenly, it will feel mild. 13, possibly 14 degrees. It | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
is four or five degrees above normal for the middle of November. | :16:54. | :17:04. | |

Back to square one on Saturday, If we use limited character to do | :17:05. | :17:09. | |

But to which you insult? Talk to myself! -- but who would | :17:19. | :17:28. | |
you insult?' Hull City's new caretaker manager has been given | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
the club's full backing, and told he'll have money to spend in the | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
transfer market. Nick Barmby has been speaking today for the first | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
time since his appointment. The former england international took | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
over from Nigel Pearson, after Pearson left for Leicester City | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
earlier this week. Barmby's first game in charge will be against | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
Derby County on Saturday, and he says he's looking forward to being | :17:45. | :17:55. | |
:17:55. | :17:55. | ||
in charge. I am going to pick myself! No, I am not ruling myself | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
out, but for the foreseeable future, definitely on the sidelines. | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
knows the players and a squat. He - - he is Hull through and through. | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
It is a long-term move. We do not want to be in a situation again | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
where we dismantle a backroom team and a management team just if the | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
manager chooses to leave. We wish him well. | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
Plans for a new marina at Cherry Willingham near Lincoln have been | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
deferred. The 220-berth development, which would give access to moorings | :18:26. | :18:35. | |
from the river Witham, also includes a hotel and restaurant. | :18:35. | :18:37. | |

Hello, I'm Paige, I am 13 years old. I suffer with epilepsy and people | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
do not understand what it is. People bullied me. I did not know | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
what to do when people made fun of me because I had to stay in a lot. | :19:25. | :19:34. | |
People kept hitting me over the head to force me to have a fit. | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
After all that, I started to come down here and I love it. I do not | :19:38. | :19:43. | |

Thank you for getting in touch about the latest unemployment | :20:47. | :20:55. | |
figures. It's at its highest for a generation and Yorkshire and Humber | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
region has been hit harder than anywhere else in the country. The | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
government has blamed a large rise in unemployment here on the | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
economic crisis sweeping the Eurozone. Lots of you have been | :21:07. | :21:17. | |

A couple who originally met because of the Vulcan bomber have | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
celebrated their golden wedding anniversary with a tour round the | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
last one still flying. Helen and Tony Stafford both worked at RAF | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
Waddington in Lincolnshire in the early 1960s when he gave her a tour | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
of the aircraft. 50 years on they've been to relive the moment | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
they met. Dan Johnson was there. A relationship forged in a hangar. | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
50 years later, the Cold War bomb were still makes an impression. - - | :22:06. | :22:15. | |
bomber. 50 years ago, they both served at RAF Waddington. He was | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
charged with showing her the iconic plane. I did try to get out of it, | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
but the sergeant said, no, it is your turn! I knew right away he was | :22:24. | :22:33. | |
not very very keen. It was his body language. Not exactly love at first | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
sight, then! But the relationship blossomed and, I year later, they | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
were married. - - a year later. Now they're back to relive the moment | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
they first met. It was the tool of retaliation in the event of a | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
Russian missile attack, carrying nuclear weapons. It certainly was | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
not designed for happy endings. But whilst it kept nations apart, it | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
brought this couple together. actually have a lady and gentleman, | :23:00. | :23:07. | |
Tony and Helen, who met having been given a tour around the aircraft. | :23:07. | :23:16. | |
Congratulations, and we do have something for you. How does it | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
compare, 50 years on? A much longer tour, for a start! A bit more | :23:23. | :23:31. | |
complicated. - - comprehensive. You're sticking with the original | :23:31. | :23:40. | |
tour guide, though? Oh, I think so! It is a bit late to change it! | :23:40. | :23:43. | |

Everyone here is in the Christmas mood. hundreds of people have | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
turned out to see my Christmas lights being switched on. I spoke | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
to Cannon and Ball earlier, who will be turning the lights on. | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
a great time. It is Christmas time. Come and see the light, come and | :24:28. | :24:33. | |

and Ball are shouting in the background. I have near enough done | :25:11. | :25:17. | |
my Christmas shopping. I have a few bits left from my girlfriend, and a | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
few bits for the kids. I have not started buying any presents yet. I | :25:22. | :25:32. | |
:25:32. | :25:33. | ||
should probably do that. It has not come fast enough. I cannot wait. | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
The lights will be switched on at seven. BBC Lincolnshire and | :25:40. | :25:45. | |

Guiness Book of Records with his super charged mobility scooter by | :26:04. | :26:07. | |

Stamford beat the world's fastest toilet, and the world's smallest | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
roadworthy car with his record breaking mobility scooter. His | :26:17. | :26:26. | |
vehicle is designed to travel at more than 70 miles an hour. I was | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
worried at the start. One has all the little car, I thought it was | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
quite quick. -- when I saw the little car. It is quite work to | :26:35. | :26:44. | |
date. The I think it went a bit too fast. You could not make it up! If | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
you have a story you think we should know about, sent me an e- | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
mail. Let's get a recap of the national and regional headlines. | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
Stephen Lawrence's best friend breaks down in tears as he tells | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
the court about the fatal attack. Duwayne Brooks said he heard racist | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
remarks before the brutal attack. Campaigners claim there's little | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
point in fund raising for research into new cancer treatments as | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
patients in our area are denied life saving drugs. Tomorrow's | :27:06. | :27:16. | |
